Chapter 51: No, you've come at just the right time

Among roommates, acting like sworn brothers is normal, and occasionally being a nuisance is part of the deal. But your way of being a nuisance is unacceptable. He was afraid that if the Sichuan girl got too used to being a pest, she might eventually climb into his bed in the middle of the night and suddenly shout, "Hubby!" Just the thought of it sent a chill down his spine.

So, he had to give her a proper threat. As luck would have it, there was a sharp-tipped umbrella in the dorm. If he poked her with that and then popped it open, it would surely send her flying high into the air.

"The money has been transferred," at the desk, the Sichuan girl put down her phone and began her breakfast.

The roommates were quite good like this; whenever they ate out, they almost always split the bill unless someone offered to treat.

This included yesterday's meal and the candied haws; the Sichuan girl had transferred the money to him as soon as she returned.

Thus, after living together for three years, their relationship was quite good, and they had never had any major conflicts.

The four roommates were ordinary and unremarkable, not just in school but even within their class—except, of course, for that time Wang Chu became famous overnight.

Normally, in the eyes of their counselor, they were the kind of people who lacked presence; they were never chosen for good things, nor were they allowed to cause trouble.

Looking at the Sichuan girl, who was currently wearing exquisite makeup while eating her breakfast in small bites, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh. How fickle fate truly was; who knew whose turn it would be to prosper in the future?

"Why are you doing your makeup so early today? Another livestream?" Lin Mo asked, drying his hair as he stepped out of the bathroom after a quick shower.

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl nodded, swallowed the bun in her mouth, and spoke

"Besides livestreaming today, I also need to film footage for editing and posting. Because you suddenly came back yesterday, my follower count saw a significant jump. I'm already at 600,000.

It's finally my turn to hit the jackpot. I looked at the comments, and so many people are giving me suggestions, telling me to find a male partner. Old Mo, how about..."

Looking at the backend data on her phone, her follower count had indeed increased by 100,000 in just one day, which was certainly worth celebrating, and the comment section was even more lively.

[The only male streamer my girlfriend won't let me watch] [The streamer's profile is average, but that skin is absolutely divine] [After watching the streamer's live, my hands are full of 'sons'] [This is great, brothers! I'm a law student, and this isn't illegal!]

Lin Mo was enjoying the comments on 'Li Shiya' when he suddenly heard the Sichuan girl's proposal. He shuddered and shook his head repeatedly

"No, no way. If my family found out, I wouldn't have the face to see my ancestors!"

He wasn't joking. Although the Sichuan girl had transformed into Li Shiya with heavenly looks, he was, after all, carrying a Barrett. He didn't want to lose everything!

"What's the big deal? We'll split the video revenue fifty-fifty. If it works well, we'll keep things strictly professional between brothers—we can even sign a contract. Maybe you could even do social media and make money yourself."

Clearly, seeing the rapidly rising follower count, the Sichuan girl's ambition was expanding like never before.

"Pass. I have things to do and need to head out in a bit," Lin Mo refused.

It wasn't that he needed to make money through social media right now, but even if he wanted to, he wouldn't do it with a friend. There were plenty of friends online who fell out over money.

"Didn't you just get back yesterday? Why are you going out again?" the Sichuan girl asked.

Lin Mo raised a hand: "Stop. The way you're talking to me makes me feel like I've dated a meddling girlfriend.

I'm going out because I have business to attend to. Wang Chu is coming back today. You could try to persuade him to film with you; I think it would be more effective."

He hadn't planned on going out today, but ever since he realized the value of the watch the "Ru Yan Emperor" had given him, he had felt a sense of unease, feeling that it wasn't right to accept something so expensive.

So, he planned to contact the Ru Yan Emperor today to try and resolve the matter.

"Fine, fine, keep your secrets. But you're right, I can ask Wang Chu to cooperate. I'll ask him what time he arrives today," the Sichuan girl quickly picked up her phone to message Wang Chu.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo opened the Ru Yan Emperor's profile and spent a long time composing a message before finally clicking send.

[Are you there?]

Fortunately, no one saw this, otherwise the Sichuan girl and the others would surely have mocked him for such a "simp-style" opening.

The main issue was that he wasn't really familiar with Liu Ruyan. She was a wealthy and beautiful female boss, and since he had accepted her favor, he felt somewhat guilty.

After a while, there was still no response, which made him feel restless. Sending more messages felt impolite, but calling her felt too abrupt.

By the time the Sichuan girl had finished eating and started her makeup, Liu Ruyan finally replied.

[I was just showering. What's this? Did little brother miss big sister as soon as he got back to school? Why don't you come over? Same as usual, 800 (finger wagging gesture)]

Lin Mo:...

This woman was at it again. As expected of the leader of the four female leads; the Sichuan girl should take notes!

Lin Mo continued messaging

[Is Sister Ru Yan free today? I'd like to treat you to a meal.]

Liu Ruyan: [When?]

Lin Mo thought about how today was Friday and that he had things to do at the company: [In the evening.]

Liu Ruyan: [You want to sleep with me?]

Lin Mo: [...]

[Then at noon?]

Liu Ruyan: [Hourly room?]

Lin Mo: [No, it can't be in the morning then. Breakfast?]

Liu Ruyan: [Sleep all day?]

Lin Mo:...

What kind of logic did this woman have? They were clearly both speaking Chinese, so why were they on completely different wavelengths?

[Fine, an hourly room it is. Let's meet at the cafe opposite the company building at noon. Don't be late!]

After replying, on the other side of the phone, Liu Ruyan, wearing a bathrobe, laughed heartily. Teasing a kid in the early morning was a way to pass the time, though she was also a bit curious about why the little guy Lin Mo was looking for her.

Lin Mo packed up simply, and when the time was nearly up, he set off, wearing the watch given by the Ru Yan Emperor.

Because the item was quite valuable, he specifically took a taxi, spending several dozen yuan. Fortunately, he wasn't short on small change like this now; in the past, he would have been heartbroken, considering he could have taken a three-yuan subway ride.

At noon, during the company's usual lunch break, Lin Mo sat alone in the cafe opposite the building, ordering two cups of coffee and waiting for someone.

Returning here with a different status, even his mood had changed. One must remember that two days ago, he was still working like a beast here, but returning two days later, he was already able to schedule coffee with the company's highest leader.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Did big sister arrive late?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Liu Ruyan's voice drifted in.

Lin Mo looked up to see Liu Ruyan in a white mermaid-style long dress. Her exquisite face was bare of makeup, yet she was still stunning.

Her hair was still simply tied back in a "housewife" style, giving her an aura of elegance that made it impossible to look away.

She smoothed her skirt as she sat down, her legs naturally pressed together. She casually picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip; the entire sequence of movements was incredibly graceful.

As the sunlight fell upon her, she practically glowed.

"Snap out of it, little brother. What are you thinking about? Did big sister arrive at a bad time?" Liu Ruyan waved a hand in front of his eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up with a look of triumph.

Hearing this, Lin Mo replied casually, "No, you arrived at just the right time!"

Liu Ruyan:???

"Were you hoping to have women on both sides of you?"
