Chapter 188 Fifth Brother's Gossip
"Aren't you in a bad mood? I'll take you for a drink, seriously!"
"Really? I haven't had a proper chance to explore the bars since I came here. I always go after a mission. Today I'm going to relax properly."
The two stood at the entrance of "Paradise," remarking, "The names of these bars are quite interesting."
Once inside, I found that the decor was much more impressive than the bars I had been to before. There was no glitz and glamour here; instead, it was quiet.
The people who came to visit were all talking in hushed tones and listening to soft music, which had a unique charm.
The bartender was probably of mixed race; his showy moves caught Gu Yunxi's attention, and Gu Yunlang came over with two glasses of wine.
"How about it? Listening to light music and relaxing here is quite nice. You should try it."
Gu Yunxi looked at the wine in the glass, which had a faint green hue, and took a sip; it was slightly sour.
"Third Brother, I'm actually fine, so don't worry about me. What happened yesterday is over and done with. I used to think I was amazing and could do a lot of things, but now I realize I was too naive."
The evil in this world goes far beyond this. They disregard the law, committing crimes against the wind and harming others. Even after thousands of years, the evil will never change.
"Yunxi, you've done so well. You haven't been home for long, and you've already helped so many people. You don't know that when I was out in the world, those who looked down on me are now trying to curry favor with me, handing me their business cards and inviting me to dinners. I only go to the ones with big reputations. They do all this because they have such a lively and interesting person like you at home!"
"So, whatever we do, we should just do our best and not put pressure on ourselves, okay?"
Gu Yunxi nodded: "Thank you, Third Brother. I understand. We've made our way around, let's go home!"
"Where are you going so early?"
"Work!"
Gu Yunlang: So, did you do a good thing or a bad thing?
When Gu Yunxi saw the more than 500,000 viewers in the live stream, she was somewhat moved. From initial skepticism to now complete faith, the netizens had thoroughly accepted her.
Now that she's here, she'll definitely protect the safety of the people here, even if it delays her ascension!
Master, is the media report true? Did you start the fire? Did they harass you? Are you alright?
Uh, you've said everything, what are we supposed to say now?
Gu Yunxi smiled as she stared at the live stream: "Didn't the Jiangcheng authorities issue an announcement about the outcome? It's all over now. I've had a day off, and I'm full of energy. Hurry up and place your orders with me!"
[Why does the streamer seem so energetic? At the same age, I've already been completely worn out by the 996 work schedule.]
Youth is wonderful; you can fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow.
The gift-givers were so enthusiastic! Gu Yunxi watched the screen light up like fireworks, and the fans were just too excited.
She even saw her brothers joining in the fun. It was too much. Why not just transfer the money to her directly instead of deducting platform fees?
Finally, a netizen named "Muzi Li" managed to break free from the chaos.
"That's enough, everyone stop sending gifts. Save them to buy yourselves bags, nameplates and jewelry. It's no fun giving them all to me. The streamer has enough money."
[Woman, you've successfully caught my attention. Other girls in livestreams are constantly asking for gifts from big spenders, but you're complaining about having too many. I just happened to pass by and immediately followed you.]
[We're just ordinary folks, and this is how we streamers always do things. If you happen to stumble upon this, please follow us and discover a different world with us.]
What a different world!
"Oh, I just remembered something. My friend and I run a welfare website. You can search for it: Time Welfare Society. Friends with special circumstances can apply. It's a kind of benefit that the streamer provides to everyone. Of course, if you're in a good situation, you shouldn't join in."
[Ah, I'm so touched I cried. The streamer is so kind-hearted.]
Stop flattering me, let's start now, okay? I have the 9 PM shift, and if we don't come now, I'll be too late.
"My friend Mu Zili, how can I help you?"
The woman in the video is wearing a fox mask that covers the upper half of her face. She appears to be in a lounge, with her legs crossed.
"I heard you're a fortune teller?"
[Uh, that sounds like a dismissive tone. Are you here to cause trouble? This master is so famous, and you only just found this?]
Is this woman so repulsive that she thinks we can't find out what she looks like just because she's covering half her face?
"Yes, what do you want to calculate? You can't refuse to pay."
"Okay, then you can calculate for me when my husband will come to marry me?"
【What? Has this woman gone mad? He's already her husband, why would he marry her? Is she a mistress?】
[Wait, did you guys see her mouth? She looks like a celebrity, Nam Jin, I wonder if it's her?]
Now that you mention it, it seems plausible to me too. I've heard she has questionable conduct, her dramas receive low ratings, and her acting is consistently subpar.
What kind of man would be blind enough to fall for her?
"How can I calculate for you when you're wearing a mask? Besides, it doesn't really make much difference whether you wear the mask or not."
Nam Jin took off her mask: "Is that alright now? Hurry up and calculate, I have a banquet tonight after you're done."
[It's definitely her; that tone of voice is definitely hers.]
"By the way, let me introduce myself. I am the celebrity Nam Jin. Good evening, everyone."
Netizen: I feel like throwing up.
What's your boyfriend's name?
Gu Yunxi took a sip of water.
"Gu Xingbai!"
"Pfft!" She spat out all the water she had drunk. After quickly cleaning the table, Gu Yunxi looked at the camera again.
"Your horoscopes don't match, there's no chance."
Good heavens! I'm always sharing gossip with netizens, but today's gossip involves my own brother.
Upon hearing this, the woman sat up straight. Suddenly, a poodle appeared in the frame and was swatted away by Nam-jin.
"Can you tell fortunes? My Xingbai is very good to me. We just can't seem to get over that veil between us."
"How good is it?" Gu Yunxi raised an eyebrow.
"We've almost reached the point of meeting each other's parents, but unfortunately he's been busy lately and hasn't spoken to me for several days. I'm getting a little anxious and want to ask him when he's going to marry me?"
Has this woman lost her mind?
[Actor Gu, how dare she! They're worlds apart! She thinks she can get away with this? Dream on!]
"But I just did the math for you. Gu Xingbai doesn't seem to know you. He doesn't even know your name. The only time he interacted with you was at a banquet when he reminded you to watch your step. Aren't you just being presumptuous?"
[Go ahead and roast me! I love watching the master roast people; I'm so bad at talking!]
“You…” Nan Zhen’s face turned somewhat ugly.
