An old classmate who runs a live streaming platform?
After thinking for a moment, Cen Yu remembered who this person was: He Yongning, the main character of the book.
Both Pei Hengyun and Pei Hengyun came from that rural middle school. They were both self-made millionaires. Pei Hengyun wasn't very familiar with Pei Hengyun. In the novel, they only gradually developed a relationship after they attended a strange class reunion.
Calm and collected, with a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, coupled with a mature and reliable background as a self-made millionaire, he is a top contender for the leading man role.
Yes, after carefully studying the book, Cen Yu still discovered the subtle stock market novel vibe hidden beneath its horror novel essence.
"He Yongning?" Cen Yu immediately said the name. "Is he your classmate?"
Pei Hengyun's gentle smile remained unchanged. "It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years." He said as he drove, "It's perfect that you're coming back with me this time. Maybe he'll see that you have a talent for live streaming and decide to promote you."
Just like Yu Xinyu's blind worship and attachment to Cen Yu in the previous book.
In this book, Pei Hengyun doesn't feel there's anything wrong with supporting a boyfriend who doesn't earn much money. Even though he's extremely afraid of ghosts and spirits, and would shrink into Cen Yu's arms at the mere mention of "horror movie," he still drives to pick up Cen Yu when she's in danger.
Cen Yu was also very curious about what was mentioned at the end of the novel—
What exactly is the story behind the claim that "the entire class reunion was a huge conspiracy and everyone was fooled"?
Unable to contain his curiosity, he wanted to flip to the end of the script to take a look, only to receive the message: "Non-plot characters, please do not cheat."
So, he died young and couldn't see the rest of the story? Cen Yu cursed the system!
"Where did you go to high school?" Cen Yu asked knowingly.
“Meiman Middle School,” Pei Hengyun said. “There’s only one high school there, and the entire grade only has one class.”
He said with a smile, "It just so happens that it's been ten years since we graduated, so the class monitor suggested we get together."
Cen Yu remembered that in the original novel, Pei Hengyun's old house had been destroyed by a mudslide, so they could only temporarily stay at Jiang Tuan's house.
Jiang Tuan is the village chief's son. He just built a new house in the village, which is just the right size for Pei Hengjun and the others to move into. Jiang Tuan's character is someone who had a crush on Pei Hengjun in high school. He was very enthusiastic because his first love was back in his hometown for a class reunion.
Therefore, he also disliked Cen Yu, who returned with Pei Hengyun as a "good friend," feeling that this person was always on his phone live streaming and was not doing his job properly.
Before they knew it, the car had driven back into the city. Xiao Le, who was sitting in the back seat, saw that his home was almost there and immediately interrupted the two of them, "Brother Pei, Brother Cen, we've arrived at my home."
Pei Hengyun stopped his car by the roadside at that moment.
Xiao Le lives in a resettlement housing community. The area in front of her home is very lively. Even at 2 a.m., there are still many night market stalls in front of her home.
It looked so warm and inviting, which made Xiao Le feel a little more at ease.
Before getting out of the car, he looked up at Cen Yu and the good-natured Pei Hengyun, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cen Yu—
"Brother Cen, I won't be coming tomorrow."
"?" Cen Yu didn't expect Xiao Le to resign suddenly.
“…I can’t get over what happened tonight,” Xiao Le said. He seemed to recall what he saw when he woke up, and his legs were still trembling as he spoke. He glanced at Cen Yu and said, “I’m sorry, Brother Cen, I’m still too timid.”
Xiao Le's resignation was completely unexpected by Cen Yu.
But it doesn't matter... Anyway, Cen Yu is about to die in that town.
So he pretended to be annoyed and said things like, "Everyone says there are no ghosts in the world" and "You believe in hallucinations?" Then he transferred the money to Xiao Le and sent him home.
After Xiao Le's figure disappeared at the bustling entrance of the residential area, Cen Yu said a few more words—
"Did you see that person?"
"What's so scary about homeless people?" Cen Yu couldn't help but complain to Pei Hengyun.
Pei Hengyun showed a sympathetic expression, "But I don't think that's human..." He then said to Cen Yu, "How about we just quit?"
He thought for a moment, "Why don't you become a game streamer? I heard it's quite lucrative."
"I'm going to become a game streamer and play Tetris on camera, right?"
In the original novel, Cen Yu did consider becoming a game streamer, but he wasn't good at any game, and the only game he was good at was Tetris. Of course, he did consider becoming a streamer focused on his looks.
But for some reason, it seems no one appreciates his looks. Usually, nobody comes in, and when someone does, they just leave a comment—
[Looking like that and still want to be a beauty streamer? Are you kidding me?]
So Cen Yu broke down and finally decided to become his adventure and outdoor daredevil streamer.
After watching himself in the live stream, Cen Yu was certain that his appearance hadn't changed at all. There was no reason why everyone in the previous world said he was good-looking and handsome, but in this world everyone thought he was ugly.
Cen Yu glanced at himself in the rearview mirror again.
It's confirmed that he really looks the same as he did in the previous world (after all, that's what he originally looked like).
"...What do you think of my looks?" Cen Yu couldn't help but ask.
Pei Hengyun hadn't started the car yet when he heard this, so he turned to look at Cen Yu.
Cen Yu's hair was quite long, reaching his neck. For the sake of the live broadcast, his hair was bleached to a light gray. He had a cold and weary appearance, and the two beauty marks under his eyes were particularly eye-catching... Pei Hengyun's gaze lingered on his beauty marks for a moment before he said, "Of course, baby is very good-looking."
"...Then why can't I be a beauty streamer?" Cen Yu wondered.
He was genuinely puzzled as to why Cen Yu, a beauty streamer in the original novel, was criticized for being ugly.
Pei Hengyun smiled, seemingly lost in thought, "Perhaps they don't know how to appreciate it."
"My baby is the most beautiful in my heart."
"...Don't be so mushy." Cen Yu rubbed his goosebumps.
In the storyline, Pei Hengyun is three years older than Cen Yu, so he is usually very tolerant of Cen Yu and completely goes along with his ideas.
According to the original book's setting, Pei Hengyun is the submissive wife, while Cen Yu is the cunning and ruthless seme.
The two quickly returned to the house that Pei Hengyun had bought. The house was not very big, but the interior was very cozy.
After Cen Yu went inside, he saw a painting on the wall. The painting depicted nothing but a high school. Upon closer inspection, he could see students attending classes inside the high school building.
The signature is also very simple.
Meiman High School, Summer 2012
It looks like Pei Hengyun drew a scene from his high school days. I didn't expect the protagonist to miss his high school life so much.
When Cen Yu looked at the painting, such a thought popped into his head, but how come he remembered that Pei Hengyun had never gone back after graduating from high school?
