I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

January 30th, the ninth day of the first lunar month, 17:00.

Kuaiyin platform.

"Hello everyone, this is Xin Ge!"

"I'm Fei Ge!"

"Today is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Have you all gone back to work? Are you experiencing any post-work syndrome symptoms? Well, let me show you something cheerful!"

"When we decided to come to Haizhou to eat and explore, the two of us women were a little scared to be out and about. So we found a super handsome guy who was 1.85 meters tall, had abs, was extremely good-looking, loved sports, could write and sing songs, could play a variety of musical instruments, could cook, and could support a family to accompany us."

"Ta-da! My darlings, look! That's Ye Xian's convenience store in the distance, and that's Ye Xian standing at the cashier! He doesn't know we're coming yet! This is a surprise attack, so you can see Brother Xian in his most natural state!"

The short video, shot in the form of a handheld selfie, flashes Li Xin and Duan Fei's faces before turning to a small shop. The shop sign is blurred, but Ye Xian's handsome face, showing a hint of surprise, delivers a shock to all the fans.

I'm not happy at all; this is the most shameless Versailles ever!

[My god, a naturally handsome guy? His charisma is amazing!]

Ahhh, that white shirt is so sexy! It's my type! My type!

[Seriously, is this really not part of the plot? But this handsome guy really isn't wearing makeup; I even saw a bit of boogers stuck in the corner of his eye.]

[Upstairs, your focus is weird; you're practically looking at his nose hairs!]

[I'm so envious! You guys are so shameless! Brother Xian politely invited you guys in his livestream, and you went the very next day!]

……

"Brother Xian really doesn't have any money. He's not trying to play the victim. I glanced at his bank account balance a few times just now, and it made us feel a little guilty."

The scene shifts to Ye Xian leading two beautiful women through Haizhou Snack Street. Ye Xian walks ahead, carrying several bags of snacks, and occasionally takes out his phone to buy new snacks for the two women.

His tall figure drew stares from many fans.

Some young girls walking by would occasionally approach him and ask for his WeChat account, but Ye Xian politely declined them all. However, he did agree to take photos with them.

A voiceover begins: "We originally said we'd take care of him the whole time, but Brother Xian firmly refused. He said that now that we're in Haizhou, he's the landlord and there's no way we'd spend any money on him."

"Besides, he can withdraw his earnings from the past few days tomorrow. It'll be a few thousand yuan. And since he runs a small shop, he gets some income every day. So, the two of us actually got something for free today! We got something for free!"

"Guys, we really didn't mean to take advantage of Brother Xian for free. At every food stall, he would tell the owner in Haizhou dialect that this is his friend and he can't take our money. In addition, he has to make sure the food tastes good so as not to ruin Haizhou's reputation."

"Xian-ge is such a sweet guy, so we can't just eat without giving back. While he was out buying food, we secretly prepared a gift for him and gave it to Qiu's mother. I guess he should see it by now."

"By the way, Aunt Qiu is an elder of Brother Xian. After Brother Xian's parents passed away in an accident, Aunt Qiu rushed back to China from abroad to take care of Ye Xian's life and online store. She is really a super good elder! The seafood porridge that Aunt Qiu makes is also super delicious and warms the stomach."

"Most importantly, Qiu Mama is only 42 years old. In the video of Xian Ge's opening on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, you can see Qiu Mama wearing a red cheongsam. She is super beautiful. When she walks with us, people will say that she is our sister."

The video included a screenshot of Ye Xian's business opening, which introduced everyone to this kind-hearted elder.

[So heartbreaking, Brother Xian is an orphan.]

[Brother Xian, let me give you a hug! My chest is the warmest place!]

[Was that her elder? I always thought she was his sister!]

[Aunt Qiu is so kind, I love her! I'll go to Brother Xian's place later and ask Aunt Qiu to appear on screen more often.]

……

[Brother Xian is about to go bankrupt, and you two have the nerve to freeload?]

[Didn't they say they already have income? And they both bought gifts! Why make such a big deal out of it?]

I think it went well; it was a give-and-take situation. Brother Xian was also doing what he could afford, not buying them anything expensive! It was just some snacks, it wouldn't have cost much.

[If they hadn't sent me a gift, I would have unfollowed them!]

……

"Today's food tour in Haizhou isn't all about the snacks; it's about the special program Brother Xian has prepared for us—a fireside chat!"

"Guys, do you know what 'fireside chat' means? Brother Xian divides 'fireside chat' into two parts. The first part is barbecue around the fire, and the second part is tea brewing around the fire."

"To be honest, we initially thought that Brother Xian's food videos were all staged, but after Brother Xin and I tasted the barbecue he made himself, we have to admit, we're in love!"

"Xian-ge prepared barbecue ingredients for us, starting to clean and marinate them in the afternoon. All the beef and lamb were fresh meat, unlike the fake meat we often eat that's mixed with duck, chicken, and pork. The taste was pure, without any gamey smell, and left a lingering fragrance in our mouths. From the first bite, Xin-ge and I were constantly being fed by Xian-ge! We were so lucky!"

[Excuse me, but I have autism, am timid, and have social anxiety. I'd like to travel to Haizhou. Could you arrange for me to have barbecue with you?]

[I've been allergic to small stools since childhood. May I sit on your lap while eating barbecue?]

[I have had a disability in both hands since childhood. Could you please arrange for Brother Xian to feed me?]

[Unable to book a hotel, can I sleep in Xian Ge's arms?]

……

"Under the open sky, with the sea breeze blowing, listening to music, and having barbecue with friends, without the pressure of work, without parents urging us to get married, without all those other miscellaneous things bothering us, this moment is truly the happiest time in our more than 20 years of life."

"We thought the barbecue was the climax of our fireside chat! Who would have thought that the second half, the tea ceremony, would be the real main course!"

"After the barbecue grill was removed, Brother Xian brewed us a Lao Ban Zhang tea that cost '188,000 yuan'. Haha, just kidding. Brother Xian said that this Pu'er tea only cost 20 yuan."

"Sweet potatoes, yams, corn, peanuts, oranges—these snacks were served, and we started chatting about our lives. We talked about our experiences, which brought back many long-forgotten memories."

"We originally wanted to learn about Xian Ge's past, but he said that talking about these things in the live stream would make people think he was playing the victim."

"Later, through Qiu's mother, we learned some of Xian's past, including the fact that his parents died in a car accident. It's not convenient to talk about too much here, but I can only say here that Xian has never tried to gain sympathy."

"When we were chatting, Brother Xian got into a good mood and first played and sang his original song 'Take Me to Find Nightlife' for us. Then the most exciting moment of the night came."

In the video, Xian Ge lightly strums his guitar, gazing at the black sea under the night sky, and loudly sings a brand new song.

When the mountain peaks have no sharp edges

When the river no longer flows

When time stands still, day and night become indistinguishable

When heaven and earth and all things turn into nothingness

I still can't break up with you.

I can't break up with you

Your gentleness is my greatest wish in this life.

... "
