Chapter 382: Innocence
One hundred carnivals, that's three hundred thousand!
Lele almost fainted; this overwhelming wealth came too suddenly!
"Thank you so much, sister! I was just doing my job, I didn't expect you to be so..." At this moment, he wished he could have the words "love your job" engraved on his forehead. If he could do this every day, he would be willing to broadcast for 18 hours a day, 365 days a year without rest!
The live stream's popularity has surged, and the number of fans has increased significantly, which is a more lasting form of wealth than gifts.
But when he saw that Heartbroken Pleasant Goat wasn't paying attention to him, he knew that Big Sister probably wouldn't come again. He couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he still couldn't help but remind her: "Big Sister, if you want to learn how to play Werewolf, just search for 'Werewolf Master Tournament'. They have high-level players with amazing skills, which might be able to help you."
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, the dazzling ID had long since left, leaving only a screen full of onlookers, discussing Hua Ziyu's recent outburst.
"Sister... I miss you so much."
Mu Zhirui stared at Pei Yunchuan's flushed face on the screen and suddenly realized that agreeing to a video call with him was a mistake.
It had been a long time since we last met, and he had learned quite a few tricks. Even through the screen, you could feel his burning passion.
The wealth and fortune had taken excellent care of him, adding a touch of nobility to his already handsome appearance. The combination of these two qualities made him even more alluring.
Watching his movements, Mu Zhirui felt a tightness in her throat. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep early tonight. The hazy scenery was beautiful, but the fully revealed appearance was even more impactful.
She didn't speak, but Pei Yunchuan noticed the burning gaze. He bit his lower lip and performed even more earnestly.
After eating too much plain congee and side dishes, my sister must be craving something like this, right?
I absolutely cannot let my sister down.
"I love you so much, sister, please don't..." Her rosy lips uttered affectionate words. Even though the weather had turned cool, Mu Zhirui felt heat rising to her face.
Pei Yunchuan's skin was already fair, but now it was tinged with pink, like a beautiful peach blossom, a peach blossom fairy who had stepped out of a painting, specifically to seduce people's spirits.
I don't know when I hung up the phone, but I slept exceptionally well that night.
The next morning, Mu Zhirui first replied to Pei Yunchuan's "good morning" message before remembering that she hadn't checked messages from other men.
Yu Yin and Qi Ming weren't in a hurry, after all, they were together the night before last.
Zhijin is sensible yet insecure, and has never been good at expressing herself. Cui Zhiyi has spent the most time with her and knows her personality. Apart from sharing daily life, he will restrain himself even when he misses her.
Scrolling through Pei Yunchuan's chat history, it was discovered that this guy had posted a bunch of selfies during her few days of travel.
Well, most of these things can't be shown off casually, but they haven't forgotten their original intentions.
Only Tokino received so many messages that they filled the screen:
[Shi Ye: Good morning, good afternoon, and good night, my wife. I think of you every day.]
[Shino: I played games with Lao Gou today, and he's already paired up with someone. I'm not jealous, my wife is the best in the world!]
[Tokino: Wife? Why are you ignoring me? What did I do wrong?]
[Tokino: I can't figure out what I did wrong, but making my wife angry is definitely my fault.]
[Tokino: (Kitten peeking out jpg.) Honey, can you talk to me?]
[Tokino: Are you breaking up with me? I'm heartbroken?]
Tokino: ...
[Tokino: I'm not contacting you anymore! If you contact me again, you're a dog!]
[Tokino: Woof! Woof woof woof! Wife, please pay attention to me!]
[Tokino: I'm so sad (heartbroken) (heartbroken)]
The cool guy changed his profile picture to a black and white heartbroken man's picture, and sent dozens of messages a day. One second he was making tough statements, and the next he was backing down and acting like a dog. Mu Zhirui felt sorry for him but also found it funny.
It's all my fault for rushing out the door and forgetting to post a message on WeChat Moments.
The most recent message was sent in the early hours of the morning, just after she had fallen asleep.
She could be indifferent to others, but she just couldn't bring herself to be cruel to Shi Ye, this loyal little dog.
Just as Mu Zhirui was about to type, Shi Ye's message popped up first:
Tokino: !!!
[Tokino: Honey, you finally replied to me?!]
[Tokino: Honey, have you been busy lately? Are you in a bad mood? Are you feeling better now?]
Even after all this, your first reaction is still to care about her? Mu Zhirui's heart softened, and she immediately sent a video call, but Shi Ye rejected it instantly.
[r..: ? Why aren't you answering?] Are you really heartbroken?
[Tokino: I don't have a wife! I just woke up, I'm all disheveled, I don't want you to see me like this.]
What do you mean "just woke up"? She clearly hadn't slept at all! And he sent a message right before she was about to type; he probably kept an eye on the chat window the whole time!
[r..: following]
[Tokino: I won't answer!]
[r..: Hmm?]
With just one word, Shi Ye immediately gave in: "Okay, wife! But you have to promise me that you won't dislike me after you see me!"
【r..：？】
[Tokino: Don't ask questions! Do you agree or not?!]
[r..: Okay, okay]
She wanted to see what this kid was up to.
The moment the video call connected, Mu Zhirui was stunned: "Shi Ye?"
The man pursed his lips and responded with a hoarse "Mmm," his voice also terribly hoarse.
Completely different from the spirited young man in my memory, Shi Ye in the video was much thinner, with sunken cheeks, stubble on his chin, and messy hair that looked like it hadn't been styled in a long time. He looked incredibly haggard, but his eyes, when you looked at him, were bright as if they held stars and full of life.
"How did you..." become like this?
She didn't ask the rest of the question, but she knew perfectly well why.
Was it for her?
Do you like her that much, to the point that you can't eat or drink?
Mu Zhirui's heart sank. She had always known that Shi Ye liked her, but she had never truly felt it until now, when she clearly realized the weight of that feeling.
This is probably no longer just liking, it's love—intense, pure, and so innocent that it leaves her bewildered.
"I'm sorry." She didn't know what else to say besides those three words.
She always considered herself a playboy; even if she had feelings for someone, she wouldn't open up. She liked many people at once and never thought of staying with one person. But Shi Ye's love was too heavy.
Shi Ye quickly shook his head, his tone urgent: "No need to apologize, wife! I've said it before, you never need to feel sorry. Liking you is my own business. I know your personality, but I still want to try. I don't want to have any regrets in my youth. Please don't feel pressured because of me."
“I don’t want you to change for me. Just be yourself. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that right now, seeing you and hearing your voice makes me happy, and that’s enough.”
Tokino's personality has always been eccentric; once he's made up his mind, he won't turn back, even if it means getting hurt.
When you like someone, you offer your whole heart to them without reservation. Who wouldn't be moved by such a person?
When he spoke, his eyes were focused and serious, as if he were making a vow. Mu Zhirui admitted that she had long been attracted to him, but... this attraction was not yet to the extent he expected.
"Shino, I like you." But this liking is not enough, nor is it unique.
Shi Ye smiled, a smile of great satisfaction: "That's enough."
"I was out with friends this time and didn't check my phone much. I'll definitely let you know in advance next time, okay?"
"Okay!" Shi Ye's face, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed. He grinned, his eyes shining.
His wife is moving closer to him; this is a two-way street!
He immediately leaned closer: "Did you have fun, honey? You must have taken a lot of photos, right? Can you send them to me?"
"I can send it to you, but..."
"But what?"
"Go to sleep now! Right now! Immediately!" Mu Zhirui frowned; his dark circles were almost down to his chin, clearly indicating he had been up for several days.
She looked fierce on the screen, but Shi Ye wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he smiled foolishly and said, "Wife, I'm so happy."
"Idiot." Mu Zhirui's lips twitched.
"Wife..." He blinked, wanting to look at the photos before going to sleep.
"Ok?"
"Then give my wife a kiss before I go to sleep! No, two kisses!" He held up two fingers, looking as smug as a child who had stolen candy.
Mu Zhirui simply couldn't do anything about him.
Shino immediately brought her left cheek to the camera, and after she finished kissing him, she quickly turned her right cheek back. Only after she had kissed him enough did she lean back contentedly.
"Honey, I'm going to sleep now! Love you ( ?3?) mua╭ I'll text you when I wake up, I'll be sad if you don't reply!"
"Okay, okay, go to sleep now."
I love you, my wife!
After hanging up the video call, Shi Ye held his phone, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.
My wife looks so beautiful today, and she likes me even more than yesterday! Even if I fall asleep now, I'll probably wake up smiling in my dreams!
[Host, it sounds like you're coaxing a child.]
"Really?" Mu Zhirui leaned back on the sofa, her fingertips still lingering with the warmth of the "kiss" she had just imagined.
[Yes! And I can sense that the host is radiating happiness right now. Host, do you like him?]
Mu Zhirui didn't deny it, and gently hummed in agreement: "A little bit."
Is there only a little bit?
"Hmm." She paused for a moment, then said softly, "Maybe it's because I've been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years, and my heart has long since turned as cold as the sea, and can't be warmed anymore."
