The pretty girl who plays with people's feelings is going to be severely punished.

Pei Shaoyuan discovered that his wife had been robbed again.

He wasted so much time pretending to be a grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson at the police station.

No kidding, this was the first time in his life he'd discovered that his tolerance was actually more impressive than he thought. Relying on his memory, he imitated the cowardly behavior of those scholarship students in high school, only saying he knew it was my fault, before finally escaping from the traffic cop.

Sure enough, people can unleash their potential when they are in dire straits. He was willing to do anything to get back to his wife before 11 o'clock.

Holding in my anger, feeling extremely annoyed after being lectured, I decided to buy myself a treat to cheer myself up.

He bought up all the souvenirs in the convenience stores within a 100-meter radius.

"Baby: Honey. By the time you read this letter, I will be gone."

"Baby: I'm home. My family knows you caused the car accident and they're going to accuse me of it."

"Baby: Things are tense these days, let's not meet for now."

Pei Shaoyuan stopped and stood by the roadside. The rain was pouring down, drenching him, and he suddenly felt like a homeless, drowned dog.

He tried to fight back.

"No, so what if I know? I remember we're in a perfectly legitimate relationship now, right? Or have I traveled back to when I was the other woman? Even as the other woman, we still have to meet, right?"

"And who said I was going to *you*? Don't talk nonsense to your family. If you don't want to, I really will just hold you while we sleep."

"What do you take me for? This is really annoying... Fine, I promise you, I won't touch you. If you don't believe me, I'll record a video with my ID card and swear to you. If I don't keep my word, then sue me. Is that enough? Stop talking nonsense and send me your location now. I'm coming to pick you up."

"Baby: Oh... My family said that they would never believe such a low-quality lie as yours, which is something that someone whose prefrontal cortex is not fully developed would say."

Pei Shaoyuan laughed in anger. He furiously pounded on the keyboard.

"Don't just assume the worst of me. I said I wouldn't do anything, and I mean it. I've done everything I've told you, haven't I? Have I ever been bad to you, no matter how bad I am? I don't object to you being a good boy at home, but do you expect me to listen to everything your family says? Do they even know me?"

"If we really want to do something in the future, shouldn't we get your family's approval first, even if it's just a certain position, sweetie?"

The screen was covered in water. He typed until he couldn't type anymore before remembering he had a car. He rushed over, his hands trembling as he pressed the car key. He was furious.

What angered him even more was that he discovered if he were to be with her in the future, he would really have to report every position they used, just as she had said. He was still willing.

  

As soon as he got into the car, a message slowly popped up on the screen, I couldn't tell if it was meant to comfort him or just to keep him calm.

"Baby: Why are you angry? You didn't even care about me when I was taken back, and you're still yelling at me. Are you upset about not being able to return the ultra-thin threaded granules you bought?"

Received transfer of 0.52. Note: Voluntary donation.

"Baby: Okay, be quiet. I'll come find you as soon as I leave the house."

"Baby: Brother, husband, oppa, unnie-chan, honey o^^o"

A water droplet from Pei Shaoyuan's hair landed on the screen, and the word "husband" was enlarged.

He finally managed a genuine smile.

It wasn't all for nothing that I spoiled her.

Click "Receive Payment," and collect the 0.52 transferred by Yu Lian. Find the bank card ending in 520 and withdraw the money.

This card is specifically for storing the money Yu Lian gave him. He had previously read that men have separate allowance cards after marriage, so he got one too.

After depositing 0.52, my bank card balance finally broke through double digits.

"Thank you so much. I don't know how I would survive without these few cents.^^"

"You weren't lying when you said you came to see me, were you?"

Although I was being sarcastic, I was secretly quite pleased with myself. After sending it, I reviewed the chat history and realized that my outburst in the rain was a bit too fierce and crazy. I was worried I might have scared Yu Lian.

Wipe it clean with water, and don't awkwardly add the sentence.

"Say more good things about me to your family, okay? We're going to get married in the future. If they don't like me, you'll be caught in the middle and it will be so hard for you. So tell them more about the good things I've done for you. There are so many, aren't there? If you find it troublesome, I can write them down for you and you can read them aloud."

"You came to find me right after leaving home. You're really not lying to me, are you?"

Of course I'm lying to you.

Yu Lian casually picked a cat emoji to send back, turned off her phone, and looked up to find Lu Jiefei, who had been looking at his computer, staring at her indifferently.

Getting caught having an unauthorized meeting again is really bad...

Yu Lian had finally managed to fool him, so how could she let him cause trouble again? She looked away and pretended to be very serious about watching the game live stream on her tablet.

In short, they refuse any communication with the outside world.

Lu Jiefei did not consider herself to be an outsider.

He glanced at the thin blanket draped around her waist, which was about to slip down, and reached out to pull it back up for her. His voice was calm and even: "Drink the ginger soup now. I'll make it again when it cools down. Don't even think about not drinking it. After you drink it, go take a shower and go to bed. Don't linger here."

Yu Lian glanced at the ginger soup on the bedside table. Even with brown sugar added, it was still a bit spicy. She took a couple of sips and put it aside, intending to throw it away once it cooled down.

Uh… I’ve been seen through again.

However, Lu Jiefei was also a remarkable person. In the middle of summer, after getting a little rain, he insisted that she drink some brown sugar ginger soup, making her face all pink.

"I'm not drinking anymore, I've already drunk half of it." The water level in the bowl had dropped by less than a third, but she said it with a straight face.

The game streamer on the screen died, and a bunch of random comments started flooding the chat. Yu Lian couldn't help but smile when she saw the funny comments. She hugged the blanket to her chest and gave a perfunctory reply, "I'll take a shower at midnight. Aren't you still awake?"

She was in his bed.

I was too tired to shower after coming back from outside, so I dragged my feet and felt lazy. But I'm also clean and didn't want to get into my own bed, so I had to lie on his bed first. Lu Jiefei's obsession with cleanliness is more severe than Yu Lian's. He changes his bedding every day, and today he had just changed it to new ones. Before I could even lie down for a moment, Yu Lian had already beautifully requisitioned it.

He didn't say anything, just gave her a tablet to play with, covered her with a small blanket, and made her some ginger tea. Then he continued working on his thesis on the computer.

They also had to endure the gunfire from Lexington on Yu Lian's side.

Lu Jiefei looked down at his watch, not understanding Yu Lian's strange habit of always doing things at the exact hour, but there was no need to upset her over such a small matter, so he nodded: "20 minutes left."

"20 minutes left~" Yu Lian pouted unhappily, deliberately mimicking his voice in a strange tone, her voice soft. But when he looked over, she immediately became obedient, "Okay, okay, I know, 20 minutes it is. Don't keep rushing me. If you're so free, go get me a glass of water."

Lu Jiefei had completely gotten used to her doing things for him, and glanced at her as he got up to pour water.

She pulled the blanket that had been covering her waist into her arms and lay face down on the bed, her already short skirt now disheveled. Her long, pale legs looked like spilled milk pudding on the dark gray sheets.

It was almost midnight, and she was lying on the man's bed, completely unguarded.

Even if he were a biological brother, let alone a brother with no blood relation or legal status...

…Could a biological brother do this? He was somewhat unsure.

Lu Jiefei clicked on the water dispenser switch, watching the water flow into the glass with a calm expression, his attention not entirely on the water itself.

He was considering whether he should teach Yu Lian something. Yu Lian's parents might have neglected many things during her upbringing, but that didn't matter; he could make up for it. He would teach her how to protect herself, while preserving her adorable clumsiness.

After he figured out whether an older brother could be too intimate with his younger sister.

The sound of water stopped, and the water level was positioned so that the water wouldn't spill. He brought it over, but Yu Lian didn't seem to notice his approach, focusing instead on watching the live stream on her tablet.

A pure, straight male voice, the kind that sounds energetic and full of vitality.

This Valorant streamer has only recently become popular. He has a pleasant voice and a violent style, playing mostly late-night, high-stakes games. He's only been streaming for two months, but he consistently ranks in the top five of Douyin's game charts, ahead of veteran streamers with millions of views and tens of millions of followers.

It's possible that there's less competition late at night, but it's still like being royalty.

Yu Lian took a sip of water and remembered what Gu Yitong had said to her on the balcony.

She didn't ask about Pei Shaoyuan, but only asked Yu Lian if she was interested in becoming a live streamer.

Gu Yitong works in self-media and has signed with a company. According to her, one of her company's "Fearless Contract" streamers suddenly had his contract terminated due to a scandal, but the company's cooperation with the live streaming platform for recommendation slots has not yet expired, so they need to find a new replacement.

Becoming a live streamer… Yu Lian was shocked at the time, staring at her with wide eyes, wondering why she would ask such a question. Lianlian shook her head.

Although most female gamers dream of becoming streamers and playing professionally, their dreams are also accompanied by an almost superhuman gaming talent. No one dreams of playing like a robot trying to wriggle in front of the audience; that's something only exhibitionists with a twisted mentality would do.

Yu Lian was very self-aware. Her gaming skills weren't that good; she had only reached her rank by playing with her brother. Asking her to stream her abstract gameplay would be too much of a test of her mental fortitude.

Her mental fortitude was as fragile as a piece of seaweed.

When people are watching her stream, she gets suspicious and overly sensitive if someone's breathing is even a little heavy-handed, wondering if they're secretly laughing. If it's a live stream…

I can't even imagine how furious the comments will be.

Gu Yitong looked at her, as if she knew she would refuse, her expression remained unchanged, she just smiled and quoted a number that Yu Lian would find hard to refuse.

"Baby, you can think about it some more and try a trial broadcast first. The guaranteed salary for the trial broadcast day is what I mentioned. If you receive gifts, after the platform and company split the earnings, the rest is yours too."

He gently touched Yu Lian's face, her long eyelashes fluttering: "Come be my colleague, okay, Xiao Lian? That way we can do lots of things together."

Being charmed like that, coupled with the gaming girl's inexplicable longing for the identity of a streamer.

Yu Lian agreed without really understanding what was going on.
