Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 50 You Can Be More Confident

Shi Nianzhen didn't answer this question. She took a few deep breaths and sat up as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

His eyes became calm again, like two pairs of lenses, clear and cold, as if all the helplessness and sadness just now melted away in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

She raised her hand and summoned a bottle of red wine and two goblets, placing them on the small round table with a lamp on it.

The Lord of the Abyss's long tail hung down from the back of the sofa, clinging closely to Shi Nianzhen's tail.

It was so rare for Shi Nianzhen to reveal her emotions, even if it was just for a moment, even now when she habitually concealed them, she was closer to the real her than at any other time.

He didn't want to rush her answer, lest he blow away the little bit of truth.

Shi Nianzhen took out a bottle of wine with the highest sweetness and lowest alcohol content in the warehouse. She poured one-third of the wine into the glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then slowly filled both glasses halfway.

The glass on the table was gently pushed towards Heilong. Heilong poured the tiny amount of wine into his mouth, tasting a hint of fruity aroma and a barely perceptible taste of alcohol.

Shi Nianzhen held the other cup in his hand and sipped it in small sips.

The alcohol brought warmth into his limbs and bones, dispelling the coldness from his body and allowing Shi Nianzhen's tense body to relax. He was finally able to continue telling his story.

“My mom is the most important person in my life.”

“She has always been my role model in life.”

"When I was 12, she died of lung cancer. It changed the trajectory of my life...how do I put it?"

"I remember that day, it was at Jiubao Mountain, and the venue was full of guests."

"Because she had a lot of people who loved her and wanted to pay tribute to her and wanted to say goodbye to her on that day."

"I remember my grandparents, uncle, and I were all sitting on the stage, and people were taking turns giving speeches. A song was playing..."

"Honestly, I suddenly felt overwhelmed and as if the sky had fallen. Even since I was six years old, I have been mentally preparing for the day when she would leave me forever."

Shi Nianzhen said this in one breath, her voice choked for a moment, but she forced her blocked throat open and continued speaking firmly.

"But this is something that cannot be prepared for no matter how long in advance."

"I've lost her forever."

"I ran off the stage. That night, I hid backstage alone, crying and crying..." Shi Nianzhen suddenly couldn't control her sobs.

The black dragon's tail slowly stretched out, gently wrapped around her shoulders and patted her, trying to give her strength.

"The song that was playing was called Time to Say Goodbye."

Shi Nianzhen paused for a moment, then tapped the phone screen again, and the previous song started playing again.

“Even now when I hear this song, it still tugs at my emotions.”

"I wasn't the only one who was sad. I felt bad for my grandparents too... but they couldn't be with me. My uncle was taking care of them. That night, everyone was busy except my assistant Zhang Yang, who stayed with me backstage the whole time."

"After that, I was all by myself. Living, studying, filming, she was the only one who accompanied me."

When Shi Nianzhen said this, her burning eyes finally couldn't hold back the tears and she could only let them roll down.

"She was my assistant, whom my mother finally chose in the last month of her life. She must stay with me for at least ten years." Shi Nianzhen's voice became hoarse and she spoke incoherently.

"She's almost like a sister to me."

"She is just like me. Her mother passed away very early. She lives alone and has no one to care for her."

"But what makes her different from me is that her family is poor. She had to take on the burden of housework and supporting the family from a very young age. Her father, who favored boys over girls, often beat and scolded her."

"And I have the fortune my mother left me, my acting skills that can make money from filming, and her."

"You know, after my mother passed away, I lived with my father for a short time. They... bullied me, and only Zhang Yang stood up to protect me. He had a big fight with my richest father and took me away from the Gu family."

"I felt sorry for her experience and trusted her very much, almost treating her as a family member." "But it was this person who stabbed me today when I tried to save her."

"She, she is jealous of me, she said she hates me..."

Shi Nianzhen pursed his lips and covered the spot under his left rib where the knife had been stabbed.

The wound healed and the pain disappeared.

But the pain in my heart still persists.

"At this point, I realized that I didn't know much about her."

"I don't know what her boyfriend is like because she never told me."

"I don't know what she really thinks of me because I'm her boss and she won't reveal her true thoughts."

"This was also the first time I felt what it meant to be betrayed."

"I thought of my mother at the time. When a mistress came to her house and her lover cheated on her and betrayed her, I wondered if she was also angry, resentful, wronged, and helpless..."

"Back then, what kind of mood did Mom have as she endured this... excruciating pain?"

When Shi Nianzhen said this, he looked up and met the look of heartache that flashed across Black Dragon's eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, then continued, "But now I understand why she didn't come to find me in the end times and let me die on my own. I also understand why she was spouting nonsense to get me pumped up."

The story is over.

Shi Nianzhen lowered his head to change a song, finished the wine in the glass, and quietly sorted himself out.

"What about you?" Black Dragon said slowly, "Have you expressed your true opinion of me?"

Shi Nianzhen looked up at him, stunned for a long moment, then blinked and asked, "Can I reveal it so that it won't be wiped out in your anger?"

The black dragon sneered, moved its big head closer, tapped her horns with its tail, and whispered, "You can be more confident. After all, I even gave you my blood, and I'm still waiting for you to help me unseal it."

When the Lord of the Abyss spoke in a deep, magnetic voice close to you, it seemed to reach directly into your heart, making you feel numb.

Shi Nianzhen's mind, which had just relaxed from great sorrow, was still a little dull, and he couldn't figure out what this strange feeling was.

He just nodded slowly to indicate that he had taken note.

"You haven't finished yet?" Black Dragon said again.

Shi Nianzhen looked up at him.

"You have remnants of the Diva's power," the Black Dragon said directly, "someone has helped you soothe your emotions."

Shi Nianzhen immediately thought of the singing Bei Mian. She had been stunned by the ethereal singing voice like a siren.

"Is the singer a singer?" she asked.

"Just like your anchor, he's a professional."

Shi Nianzhen was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he first started live streaming, the audience commented: "Where disaster appears, the power of the law will follow. The power of various laws converges, creatures awaken, and save the world."

“What exactly is a career?” she asked.

"You finally remembered to ask?" Black Dragon snorted, changed his lying position, raised his neck and glanced at her sideways.

"I thought you would ask that when you first got your job."
