Chapter 875 Kong Chi Extra (18)
...
That night, Gu Zhixu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
As it got closer to midnight, she let out a sigh of relief, sat up in bed, and simply turned on her phone to start a live stream.
She hadn't logged in since she last let her friends know she was safe, and now that she was online, it caused an uproar.
[Sister! It's really my sister!]
[My sister is finally online!!]
Is my sister feeling better?
[Did Sister Ban just get off work? Was she exploited by her heartless boss again?]
[...]
The comment section kept scrolling by, and Gu Zhixu, feeling warmed, selected some comments to reply to.
"I'm completely recovered! Thank you for your concern~"
"Uh... I'm not being exploited by my boss, I'm just having some insomnia."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhixu felt a little embarrassed. Kong Chi was not only not exploiting her, but was even treating her so well that it made her feel uneasy.
[Great! Boss Yama has finally learned to be chivalrous!]
[My colleague had a really tough time recently; if her boss doesn't treat her well, he's just being inhuman!]
[Huh? Where is this background, Sister Ban? It doesn't look like her familiar home!]
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhixu felt a little guilty for some reason and immediately said, "I'm currently staying at a friend's house."
Although netizens didn't know exactly what happened that day, they knew more or less that something had happened at the family's home, so they kindly didn't ask any further questions.
Will Sister Ban continue living at her friend's house?
Gu Zhixu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Of course not, I'm already looking for a place to live!"
Hey sis, I'm a real estate agent! Feel free to message me if you need anything, I'll give you a discount!
Gu Zhixu was surprised by the coincidence. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, thank you. I'll send you a private message."
Yay!
Wow, I'm so envious of the person upstairs! Is it too late for me to switch careers and become a real estate agent?
[And just like that, she hooked up with the class monitor.]
[...]
The friendly atmosphere in the comments section eased Gu Zhixu's mood considerably. Just as he was about to tell his viewers that he was about to log off, a familiar ID popped up, displaying a GIF of its golden ID and sending a comment—
Single person: [Is your friend treating you badly? Why do you insist on moving out?]
Gu Zhixu: "?"
The question came out of nowhere, and she could have simply ignored it.
But since the other party was her top fan, she thought for a moment and decided to downplay the issue, saying, "No, it's not that. Staying at someone else's house is definitely not a long-term solution. Besides, he's a male friend, and it would be a sin if I delayed him from finding a girlfriend."
The single man remained silent for a long time.
Gu Zhixu thought the other person had gone offline and was just about to say goodbye to his online friend when he suddenly saw him say: "[How do you know he wants to find a girlfriend? Maybe he just has a crush on you.]"
Gu Zhixu: "?"
She felt like swearing.
Netizens then chimed in—
[Dude, have you been reading too many romance novels lately?]
[Yeah, why not start a serialized story called "My Roommate Has a Crush on Me"? I'll watch it!]
[Wow, why does this feel kind of romantic after being extended like this?]
Gu Zhixu was speechless, thinking to herself, if you knew that my roommate was my boss, would you still find it romantic?
She quickly cut off their wild speculations, saying, "That's impossible. My roommate and I... are from completely different worlds. Don't make wild guesses. We're just ordinary..." She swallowed back the superior-subordinate relationship, "just ordinary friends."
Okay, okay, we know, don't be too nervous, Sister Ban!
[Hahaha, just kidding! The way Sister Ban is so eager to explain...tsk tsk, intriguing!]
Gu Zhixu: "..."
She was absolutely furious with that "single aristocrat" guy. Why did he have to say such nonsense? Do all rich people have so much free time?!
Ignoring the netizens' teasing, Gu Zhixu quickly logged off.
Lying in bed, she felt a little regretful that she had started a live stream for no reason.
I was hoping to get a good night's sleep, but now I can't sleep at all.
The idea of her having a crush on someone is pure nonsense. Everyone else knows what's going on between her and Kong Chi, but how could she not know?
But why... when she thought about his attitude towards her these past few days, and the strange things he said, could she not calm down at all?!
Ahhhhh, I'm going crazy!
Gu Zhixu covered his head with a pillow, completely baffled as to how what was originally a normal superior-subordinate relationship had become so complicated!
Meanwhile, next door, Kong Chi held his phone, looked at the blacked-out live stream screen, and let out a long sigh.
Gu Zhixu's words, "The two of you are from completely different worlds," instantly plunged his anxious heart into despair.
Does she mean she wouldn't even consider him...?
Perhaps... he needs to change his approach.
...
Gu Zhixu is about to start a live stream.
It wasn't because she was at Kong Chi's house and it was inconvenient for her to do a live stream; on the contrary, she found that apart from the first time she was almost discovered, Kong Chi respected her privacy and rarely came to her room.
Moreover, ever since she was forced to stop working overtime, she has been coming home earlier than Kong Chi, and she is always alone at home, so she can broadcast live without restraint.
But the problem now is that she's being driven crazy by the top-ranked fan.
My older sister has recently gone completely crazy. During one of her recent live streams, she suddenly said, "If you don't consider your roommate, how about considering me?"
Gu Zhixu almost spat out a mouthful of cold water at that moment.
The netizens below were instantly in an uproar upon seeing this news.
[Ahhh, I've never seen anything like this before! Is this guy confessing his feelings to Sister Ban?]
[Sister Ban, considering the big spender has recently spent at least a hundred rockets, I think we should consider it.]
[This guy is truly a master; he's so direct in pursuing someone!]
[Sister Ban, although this big shot is rich, he looks a million times better than your boss. He's definitely better!]
Gu Zhixu: "..." Is this how you compare them?
She let out a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Don't joke around, netizens will take it seriously."
Single Aristocrat: [No joke, I've been watching your livestreams for a long time, and I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you.]
[Aaaaaaah! A superstar is confessing his love online! We're totally shipping them!]
Why is Sister Ban not saying anything? Is she stunned?!
I would have done the same...
Just as netizens were getting excited, the single guy sent another 10 rockets.
They directly put Gu Zhixu in a hot position.
Gu Zhixu was really in a bind this time. She sent a private message to the single nobleman: "Boss, we are just ordinary netizens and streamers. You have never met me, let alone whether you like me or not. Please stop sending rockets. I'm scared."
The single man quickly replied with a simple sentence: "Don't feel guilty, I just think you deserve it."
Gu Zhixu: "..."
This world has gone mad.
Single Aristocrat: [And isn't this you? .jpg, I think it's cute.]
The picture the other party sent was one that she accidentally appeared in during a recent live stream. Although she said not to share it at the time, a few nosy netizens still uploaded it online. Fortunately, the scope was not very wide, so Gu Zhixu didn't care.
But he saw it.
Gu Zhixu felt her head throb even more and immediately replied, "This is with a beauty filter on! The real me is a million times uglier than this!"
Single Aristocrat: "It's okay, I don't care."
Gu Zhixu: "..."
Fine, if I can't argue with her, can't I just avoid her?
She figured it was probably just a spur-of-the-moment thing by a rich person, and that the initial enthusiasm would die down in a few days.
It seems the other party has no intention of letting the matter resting.
Without fail, he would shower her with virtual gifts and confess his love every day. When trolls appeared in the live stream, he would be quicker than her to defend her. He would be in the live stream for as long as she was, and this single man, however, had a sense of propriety, never confessing more than three times or giving more than ten virtual gifts per session.
Every time, it precisely hit Gu Zhixu's limit of patience.
Even more outrageous is that, although they had never met, Gu Zhixu found that the other person seemed to know her very well, and they had a lot in common.
Her speaking habits, her daily routine, her hobbies, her favorite music, her cat...
Over time, she found that she seemed to have a lot to talk about with the other person, and she felt more relaxed and comfortable talking to him than ever before. Gradually, she lowered her guard against him.
I feel that if the other party doesn't insist on meeting in person, then maintaining this online soulmate relationship seems pretty good.
Until late one night.
Midway through her live stream, Gu Zhixu got up to go to the dining room to get some water and was surprised to find that the door to Kong Chi's study was still lit.
It should be noted that Kong Chi has a very regular schedule and cherishes his sleep.
But recently, when she went out to get water at night, she often saw the light on in his study or bedroom.
If you're not sleeping this late, it's either because you can't sleep or you haven't finished your work.
Bearing in mind his responsibilities as an assistant, Gu Zhixu thought for a moment and then went to knock on Kong Chi's door.
But the other party didn't seem to hear it.
She hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open.
To my surprise, I saw Kong Chi staring at his phone, smiling foolishly...
At the same time, a sound came from the phone: Xiu! Wow, the single nobleman successfully sent a big rocket to the "overtime missing person" live stream!
Gu Zhixu remained silent.
