Chapter 25. She's not good enough; he deserves someone better. ...
In the video, the lighting was dim, but all that could be seen was Gao Wen's good body lines and graceful movements.
Netizens never imagined that her face was fair, delicate, and beautiful.
Her presence was absolutely stunning.
Moreover, Gao Wen had a faint smile on her face, a soft and sweet voice like honey, and was very polite with an excellent attitude.
Not to mention netizens, even the two livestreamers who came to block the door immediately lost their hostility and were invited to the lounge for tea.
Gao Wen brought over two cups of tea and placed them in front of them: "I brewed tangerine peel and rose tea today; drinking more of it is good for your skin."
"This is good." Upon hearing this, the anchor picked it up and drank it.
The other anchor looked at Gao Wen sitting opposite them, sizing her up and down, her eyes filled with envy and admiration.
When Gao Wen was called out by Lin Siyue, the anchor looked at her phone, which was still streaming, and said in a very embarrassed and awkward voice: "Family members, she is so beautiful and has such a great presence, I really can't criticize her. She seems like she might actually have something going on."
The live stream chat room had already exploded.
She has a great figure, and that face is so captivating! They all felt like they had suddenly become kind.
Before the host could even exchange a few words with the viewers, Gao Wen returned. Standing at the door, she apologized, "I have a full day of classes today and can't give interviews right now. If you're interested, you can participate in the 8 PM live stream as a student; it mainly covers shoulder and neck rehabilitation."
"My class doesn't end until 7:30."
"It's alright, it's alright, nothing serious has happened to us."
Gao Wen's words made both anchors feel ashamed, and they scratched their heads awkwardly.
They originally wanted to see what this "notorious" yoga teacher was like and try to get some attention, but he was very polite and even invited them to participate in his live stream.
With Gao Wen's huge following, her live stream is bound to be very popular, so of course they'll participate. Besides, neck and shoulder rehabilitation—who doesn't have some neck and shoulder problems these days?
The waiting time was incredibly difficult for the two streamers.
Netizens were also eagerly waiting. The video that Yuhe Yoga Studio pinned today received hundreds of thousands of likes in no time, and its followers also surged.
The two anchors also made a point of observing that Gao Wen indeed had a full schedule of classes today, and didn't finish until 7:30 pm.
She came to prepare for the live broadcast as soon as get out of class ended.
It was obvious that Gao Wen was not very skilled, and she humbly asked the two anchors for advice.
The two hosts were very enthusiastic. After changing into the yoga clothes prepared by Gao Wen, they instantly became part of the team and blended in without any sense of incongruity.
While Gao Wen was talking to them, her phone lit up.
She looked down, took her phone, and walked to the side.
Looking at the message, Gao Wen smiled and quickly typed, then clicked send.
Fang Han, who was working overtime at Gu Shujie's company, received it.
Gao Wen: [Don't worry, there won't be any problems. I've made thorough preparations.]
Gao Wen: [The live stream is about to start, I have to go now.]
Fang Han: [Okay. I'll get back to work now.]
Gao Wen didn't reply to any more messages.
Fang Han sat at his workstation, staring blankly at the computer screen.
Gu Shujie walked over, munching on a hamburger, and handed it to Fang Han: "What's wrong? You seem distracted."
Fang Han politely declined, saying, "It's alright."
"Aren't you going to try the new flavor of burger?" Gu Shujie tried to persuade him again.
Fang Han shook his head.
He has little appetite and has been quite anxious these past few days.
"What's wrong with them both? Your sister-in-law too, sighing and complaining these past few days, and having insomnia. It's that yoga studio thing again. It's just a job to make money, what's there to think about?" Gu Shujie finished his last bite and asked Fang Han again, "Really not eating?"
"No, thank you." Fang Han held his phone, staring intently at the time.
Gu Shujie sat down next to him, opened another hamburger, and started eating it in big bites: "Your Jingye is tired of this stuff. I'm twenty-two years old, I went to college, and I went to tutor your sister-in-law. She gave me a hamburger, and that hamburger won me over. Now I'm even willing to earn money for her to spend."
Fang Han had heard this story countless times.
He glanced back at Gu Shujie, indicating that the other person could go about their business.
Gu Shujie, however, thought he was listening attentively and recounted how they secretly dated, then went public, and overcame numerous obstacles to win the heart of their beloved.
Fang Han pursed his thin lips tighter and tighter, taking a deep breath.
never mind.
I'm not in the mood to work anyway, so whatever.
*
Eight o'clock sharp.
Yuhe Yoga Studio.
As soon as the video went live, nearly 30,000 netizens flocked to it, many of whom were waiting in line.
The sheer number of people made Zhang Ni and Lin Siyue gasp in shock. With so many people, if the live stream went wrong, they'd be finished.
They originally intended to wait quietly for the hype to die down, and at most, they would stop posting videos and keep a low profile.
Gao Wen, however, took the initiative to suggest a live stream, stating that they wanted to capitalize on this wave of traffic and reap the benefits.
Thus, this live broadcast came about, and everyone except Gao Wen was on tenterhooks.
In the live stream footage.
Gao Wen wore a relatively conservative yoga outfit of skirt and pants, stood tall and elegant, and wore clean and refreshing nude makeup with light lipstick, which enhanced her beauty.
She seemed completely unaffected by the public opinion. Her fair and radiant face wore a perfectly measured smile, exuding confidence and composure. She raised her hand towards the camera and greeted everyone in a clear voice: "Good evening, everyone. I'm Gao Wen, an instructor at Yuhe Yoga Studio. Welcome to our live stream. Today's topic is 'How to Scientifically Rehabilitate the Cervical Spine: A Guide for Beginner Yoga Practitioners to Avoid Pitfalls.' We'll be covering some training exercises, and you can practice along if you're interested."
Before netizens questioned her professionalism, Gao Wen first showed off her certificates.
In recent years, while training hard, Gao Wen also took several certification exams. She didn't take more exams simply because she had too much money for training and didn't have enough funds.
As netizens watched Gao Wen display the certificates one by one, she placed them very close to them, afraid that they might not be able to see them clearly.
Yoga Alliance Certification, Fitness Instructor Yoga Certification, Yoga Instructor Training Completion Certificate, Prenatal Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Physiotherapist...
The netizens who were about to start criticizing silently shut up.
Their certificates are genuinely complete; they're not just dabbling in something. We can't just make baseless accusations.
Gao Wen put down the certificate, smiled casually, and said, "Actually, I took courses in Clinical Rehabilitation and Food Nutrition in college. I was quite interested in them, so I audited the classes for two years. Don't worry about your movements being incorrect. Exercise is to solve physical problems; it won't injure you."
"Tonight, we will focus on a training session for neck and shoulder rehabilitation, avoiding common training pitfalls and exercising correctly."
......
Aside from showing her certificates, Gao Wen made no mention of the online bullying and criticism she had faced recently, and began to devote herself entirely to teaching.
Gao Wen is like a different person when she's in class. She has a strong presence, but also a unique personal charm.
She doesn't just guide students through the movements; she explains the underlying principles and speaks with clear logic.
After explaining each movement, Gao Wen would demonstrate it on the trainee.
The two anchors took turns appearing on camera, enjoying it immensely. They were even unconsciously influenced by Gao Wen, doing whatever she asked.
One of the anchors had just sat down and hadn't even made a move when he turned to Gao Wen and said, "My shoulder blades hurt. It's been hurting for days."
"Right side or left side?" Gao Wen asked.
"On the right side," the anchor replied.
Gao Wen raised her hand and gently turned her head to the left, saying, "Sink your right hand down, sink it down further." After she finished speaking, she applied some force with her hand.
"Hiss—" The anchor's face scrunched up.
Gao Wen's expression remained unchanged. She calmly counted down for ten seconds before letting go.
The anchor raised his hand, rubbed his shoulders, and his eyes lit up as he exclaimed in surprise, "It feels much better!"
Gao Wen touched her shoulder: "There is a dorsal scapular nerve in the scapula, which originates from the scalene muscle. When the trapezius muscle is uncomfortable, it will also be uncomfortable. This movement can quickly relieve the discomfort."
"Okay, let's continue with the actions we just discussed."
Viewers in the live stream room are already spamming the chat with messages:
[Who says she's not professional enough? When she said without hesitation that the dorsal scapular nerve originates from the scalene muscle, she already put many yoga teachers to shame. She understands the principles perfectly!]
[You can tell how authoritative she is from the fact that she's been listening attentively and encountered several coaches who knew absolutely nothing when asked questions.]
[Amazing! I tried it and it really works, awesome!]
I've already started practicing, and I feel like I can do it again.
......
Zhang Ni and Lin Siyue watched the live stream, and as the comments shifted from sarcasm and doubt to praise and rational voices, they wiped a bead of sweat from their brows.
In the first half, after Gao Wen finished explaining rehabilitation knowledge, the discordant voices in the comments section completely disappeared.
All that's left are questions and praises flooding the screen, along with endless compliments on her elegance and stunning beauty.
In the past few days, Gao Wen has also compiled a beginner's guide to avoid pitfalls, emphasizing safety first, proceeding step by step, not focusing too much on postures, and giving a lot of sincere and effective advice.
The questions in the live stream chat were even more numerous.
Gao Wen raised a few questions, mentioning postpartum recovery. She emphasized, "Postpartum recovery should focus on rest. Avoid lifting heavy objects and exercising too early. I don't recommend exercising within six months. You can start by controlling your diet and practicing abdominal breathing. There's no need to be anxious or rush. During this time, you are wholeheartedly accompanying a new life as it grows."
"You can do some training before childbirth, which will help with postpartum recovery."
When asked about the soreness caused by lumbar muscle strain, Gao Wen raised her hand and said, "If this happens, you can raise your thumb, find the depression, and then extend three fingers along the line connecting the outer side of the elbow crease to find the acupoint Shousanli. Press it firmly for one minute. Press the side of your lower back that is sore. This area is located at the distal end of the anterior superficial line of the arm in the fascia."
"Once you feel better, we'll move on to the next step."
......
Gao Wen answered the questions calmly and slowly. The live stream, which was originally scheduled for two hours, turned into a three-and-a-half-hour stream because of the overwhelming enthusiasm of the viewers.
In the end, it was Zhang Ni who kept giving Lin Siyue meaningful glances, which led to the forced end of the broadcast.
The two streamers were still not satisfied and approached Gao Wen to continue discussing the acupoint they had just encountered.
They originally thought Gao Wen was a yoga teacher, but it turns out she also knows rehabilitation and traditional Chinese medicine acupoints.
It completely overturned their understanding and they were utterly won over.
The internet is also in an uproar. People are ashamed now of the deep malice they had towards Gao Wen a while ago. Although she looks young, she is indeed quite capable.
Many netizens commented: "She's much more professional than my coach. She clearly has a solid foundation. If we weren't so far apart, I'd want to take lessons with her right away!!!"
The only point that some haters could seize upon was that Gao Wen only presented her certificate without explaining her academic background, giving them an opportunity to continue smearing her. One sarcastic comment read: "Didn't she say she was a student at University A? She hasn't admitted it yet. Is she feeling guilty about building this persona?"
In response, someone commented, posting a photo with the caption: "This was taken unintentionally during an elective class in my sophomore year. I initially thought I had mistaken her for someone else, but seeing today's live stream, it must be her. I thought she was a student in this major, but it turns out she wasn't! Someone actually auditing a class from a different major—that's true passion!"
In the photo, Gao Wen is intently listening to a lecture and taking notes in a corner; she looks much younger than she does now.
After posting the photo, the netizen directly attached her student ID, which clearly showed A University's School of Basic Medical Sciences, completely silencing the haters.
Gao Wen's indifference was the best response to this smear campaign. From beginning to end, she remained calm and composed, offering no explanations, and with her self-confidence, she completely turned the tide.
Many netizens deleted their comments, and more casual viewers became fans, leading to a backlash against the previous malicious smear campaign.
The first to be affected was naturally Fan Ying Yoga Studio, whose video account was flooded with negative comments. Their director's ambiguous explanations seemed utterly ridiculous at this point.
Some previously overlooked opinions are gradually coming to light.
That was the reason Gao Wen resigned from the yoga studio. The studio owner wanted to force her to pay a high fee for training before arranging a private lesson for her. She refused, so she was fired.
Fan Ying Yoga Studio was in complete chaos. Seeing the flood of comments from netizens, the staff managing the video account were on the verge of tears: "Manager, what do we do?"
She only earns a few thousand yuan a month, takes photos, and posts videos. She's never seen anything like this before; her ancestors for eighteen generations are going to be expelled.
The curator had been waiting for Gao Wen to start her live stream since today. She had originally hoped to see her get scolded and forced to stop, but the live stream went smoothly and even started to praise her in a harmonious way. She almost couldn't catch her breath.
"This won't do. If this continues, it will be very bad for us. We need to set our video account to private," the employee said hurriedly to the curator.
Fanying Yoga Studio couldn't even last half an hour before its video account was set to private.
However, their comment sections on various platforms have already been overrun.

Early morning.
Gao Wencai parted ways with the two anchors, but they insisted on taking photos with her and exchanging contact information before reluctantly leaving.
People in the building gradually left for the day. Gao Wen and Lin Siyue walked downstairs together and went in different directions.
There were few people on the road. Gao Wen walked slowly under the dim light and noticed a pebble at her feet. She lifted her foot and kicked it forward.
The pebbles rolled forward, and she jogged forward again, kicking them forward with her foot.
A low chuckle came from beside her, and Gao Wen looked in the direction of the sound.
Fang Han stood not far away, the streetlights casting a long shadow of his back. He held two bottles of milk in his hands and slowly walked towards Gao Wen, unscrewing one of the bottles and handing it to her.
"Senior, what are you doing here?" Gao Wen asked, taking the milk.
"I'm here for a part-time job," Fang Han said.
Gao Wen remembered that he was going to his part-time job after get off work, which was also nearby. She looked at Fang Han and asked softly, "Were you waiting for me?"
"Okay." Fang Han nodded. "It's so late, I'll wait for you to go back together, otherwise it's not safe for you to go alone."
Hearing his words, Gao Wen lowered her eyes: "How long have you been waiting?"
Fang Han is always like this; he will silently do things for her, leaving her with no way to repay him.
"Not long after," Fang Han said with a smile, "I saw the live stream. You performed exceptionally well. Would you say you're famous now?"
Gao Wen shook her head: "I don't know." After she finished speaking, she looked up at him and said, word by word, "But no matter what, I will definitely work hard to make a living in this field. What could be hotter or create more value than the internet?"
She added, "I am very career-oriented."
Fang Han chuckled softly.
I just think she's cute like that.
“What are you laughing at? I love money immensely,” Gao Wen said as she walked forward. She looked up and surveyed the towering office buildings around her, and said clearly, “All my efforts are for a better life. I want to put down roots here and live a glamorous life.”
She made no attempt to hide her ambition and vanity, even saying, "I like to use expensive things, good things, and I want to live in a big house, preferably with a study and a gym, and also with big floor-to-ceiling windows."
This is City A, where land is incredibly valuable; houses like these cost tens of millions of yuan.
After Gao Wen finished speaking, she looked at Fang Han.
She said it on purpose because she knew that Fang Han was not an ambitious person. The height that the small-town test-takers could climb was limited, and his actions would only make that ceiling lower.
Even with Fang Han's excellent education and annual salary of one million, he could only afford an old, dilapidated apartment and would have to save for several years.
Gao Wen has completely given up on the idea of climbing the social ladder through marriage, but her standard of living will not change, so they are not on the same path. In a few years, how old will Fang Han be? She can't hold him back.
She's not good.
He deserves someone better.
Fang Han's eyes were deep in thought, and his expression seemed rather solemn and unpleasant to Gao Wen.
He realized her true colors, and he must have been very disappointed.
Gao Wen lowered her head again, pouted, and muttered, "I can't stand a hard life!"
"You did nothing wrong, you did the right thing." Fang Han's voice was still calm and gentle. "Loving yourself and making your life better is not wrong, and no one can say you are wrong."
"You work so hard, you deserve a better life."
Gao Wen turned her head to look at Fang Han; he was such a kind person.
They've drawn a line between themselves, haven't they? They didn't say anything openly, leaving each other some dignity.
A flicker of guilt crossed her eyes.
Cold-blooded and selfish may just be her true nature.
"It's late, are you sleepy?" Fang Han asked with concern.
"Okay! Let's go back quickly." Gao Wen quickened her pace, unsure of what to say to him.
Fang Han has long legs, so he easily caught up.
Gao Wen saw another pebble, and she kicked it forward, jogging after it.
Fang Han watched Gao Wen's cheerful figure, his eyes filled with tenderness. He followed slowly behind her, and when she wasn't paying attention, he took out his phone and secretly took a picture.
*
That night.
Zhang Ni and Lin Siyue seized the opportunity and launched Gao Wen's personal video account. The account only had one video, in which Gao Wen greeted the camera with a sweet smile: "Hello everyone, I am Gao Wen."
With just this one video, Gao Wen gained 300,000 followers in one night, and the number continues to grow.
Lin Heng brought Jiang Shuyan to pick up Lin Siyue. In the car, Lin Siyue shared the good news and smiled broadly.
Jiang Shuyan observed Lin Heng's expression, her palms clenched, her inner jealousy almost overwhelming her.
She worked so hard for so long, racking her brains to shoot content, but her followers were stuck at 200,000. Gao Wen gained so many followers in one night, and that's not all.
Gao Wen is clearly a supporting character.
She's just cannon fodder to highlight her abilities, why should she?!
Jiang Shuyan was afraid that her emotions would show, so she didn't go out for a late-night snack with Lin Heng and the others. Instead, she made an excuse to have Lin Heng take her home first.
She had just gotten out of the car when her phone rang.
Upon seeing the phone number, Jiang Shuyan's heart skipped a beat. She covered her phone and looked back, only to see that Lin Heng had already driven away. She quickly ran forward into the residential area.
"Why are you calling me again?" Jiang Shuyan scolded in a low voice.
She spent the money, and the way things turned out not only didn't harm Gao Wen, but also made her famous and turn her into an internet celebrity.
She hadn't been able to accomplish something for years, but Gao Wen had done it in just a few days. How could she accept that?
The curator on the other end of the phone was frantic: "Gao Wen knows I was behind this, and she's going to sue me! You have to think of something!"
Jiang Shuyan remained calm: "How could she possibly know?"
Curator: "They released a video!!!"
Jiang Shuyan frowned and opened the official account of Yuhe Yoga Studio. She clicked on the pinned video announcement, which stated that they would pursue the matter of Fanying Yoga Studio's commercial defamation and slander against Gao Wen to the end. They had already reported the matter to the police and would announce the results later.
“It’s not a big problem; they won’t find anything else,” Jiang Shuyan said confidently.
Before the curator could say anything more, Jiang Shuyan hung up in frustration.
-----------------------
The author's note: Wenwen thought she was drawing a clear line, but in reality she was setting clear standards for Fang Han.
After we get married, we want to live in a huge house! A gym and a study with floor-to-ceiling windows! O(∩_∩)O Haha~
Good morning.
