Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

After experiencing the bridge evacuation incident, Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao developed a stronger interest in metaphysics and fortune telling, and the three of them privately searched for a lot of related content online.

Unexpectedly, after some searching, they actually found quite a few popular fortune-telling live stream clips.

That day, Xu Zhixia was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly sat up straight, as if she had discovered a shocking secret. She grabbed Shen Jingshu's arm excitedly: "Jingshu, come and see! The reason my favorite celebrity had her scandal fall apart was because a fortune teller predicted it. When I watched the replay, the streamer's figure looked really familiar, and now the more I look at him, the more he looks like you!"

Shen Jingshu was slightly taken aback, not expecting to be recognized so quickly. During the live stream, she only wore a mask to cover her face, but she didn't deliberately conceal her figure or expression. Those close to her could indeed see the clues if they paid close attention.

Seeing that her secret had been exposed, Shen Jingshu didn't hide it and nodded slightly: "It was me."

"It really is you!" Xu Zhixia exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide with shock. "You're actually doing live-streamed fortune telling online?"

"In our line of work, we need to accumulate merit by helping people resolve calamities and clarify cause and effect. This will help us accumulate merit and also benefit our own spiritual practice," Shen Jingshu explained calmly.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up, full of curiosity. "When are you going to stream next? Ever since I watched the replay last time, I've been occasionally watching your streams! Why don't you stream tonight? We want to see you do fortune telling up close!"

Shen Jingshu frowned slightly. She usually did her live streams from her own room in the Li family home, which was quiet and convenient. But this was in her dormitory, and she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant to start a live stream suddenly.

Xu Zhixia saw right through her thoughts and quickly patted her chest to assure her, "It's okay! I'll go ask Song Ran and Miaomiao, they definitely won't object. Our dorm is spacious enough, and it won't disturb you!"

As she spoke, Xu Zhixia turned to her two other roommates and told them about it. Upon learning that Shen Jingshu was a somewhat famous fortune-telling streamer online, Song Ran and Lin Miaomiao were surprised, but even more curious, and readily agreed without any objection.

Unable to resist the three's enthusiasm, Shen Jingshu had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, but you must promise me that you won't make a sound during the live broadcast. I don't want anyone else to know my identity."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we promise to keep it a secret!" the three of them agreed in unison. "We'll all wear headphones and watch quietly from the sidelines; we absolutely won't disturb you!"

After agreeing on the terms, Shen Jingshu sat down at her desk, took out her usual mask from the wardrobe and put it on, then set up her phone and opened the live streaming app.

Her live stream room name is simple and straightforward—live fortune telling, no charge if it's inaccurate, three fortunes a day.

Almost the instant the broadcast started, a large number of fans who had been waiting poured into the live stream, and the barrage of comments immediately began to scroll.

Sitting to the side, Xu Zhixia and her two companions watched the rapidly increasing number of online viewers and the dense barrage of comments on the screen. Their gazes towards Shen Jingshu completely changed, filled with admiration and astonishment. They truly hadn't expected that their usually low-key and reserved roommate was actually a hidden internet celebrity!

Long-time fans who entered the live stream immediately noticed something amiss and flooded the chat with questions:

"Hey streamer! Why did you change your background for today's stream?"

"This isn't home anymore, it looks like a dorm!"

"Wow, the streamer is actually broadcasting from their dorm room! How amazing!"

The screen was instantly flooded with comments, full of amazement and curiosity:

"Wow! The streamer is actually a college student! She sounds so young, I can't believe she's still in school!"

"This background definitely looks like a university dormitory, but I wonder which university it is!"

"Hey streamer, could you tell us the name of the school? We might even be alumni!"

Looking at the screen full of questions, Shen Jingshu said calmly but firmly, "It was indeed a live broadcast from my school dormitory today, but I can't reveal the school's name. I don't want to be disturbed too much, so please understand."

Not wanting to attract unnecessary attention and disrupt normal campus life through the live stream, she quickly changed the subject and returned to the main topic of the live stream: "Alright, as usual today, I'll be giving away three lucky bags. Those who win can apply to have their fortunes told via live stream."

Before viewers could ask any more questions, Shen Jingshu quickly activated the backend system, and three lucky bags were immediately created. Viewers in the live stream instantly scrambled to grab them, and the chat was flooded with comments.

"My hand speed is insane! These lucky bags are so hard to grab!"

"Didn't you see there are already 600,000 people online? Three lucky bags—the odds of winning are lower than winning the lottery!"

"It's okay if you can't get your hands on something; the main thing is to enjoy the show and watch the drama unfold. Waiting for the streamer to interpret the divination is just as enjoyable!"

"The streamer suddenly started broadcasting without warning, so I quickly grabbed a stool, and got some snacks and drinks ready!"

Xu Zhixia and her two companions, who were watching the live stream with headphones on, were amazed by the lively atmosphere and rapidly scrolling comments. They secretly made a gesture of admiration to Shen Jingshu, never expecting their roommate's live stream to be so popular.

After the lucky bags were drawn, Shen Jingshu addressed the camera, saying, "The first winner would like to request to connect with us via live stream."

As soon as he finished speaking, a connection request popped up in the background. The ID of the netizen who requested to connect was none other than "Save My Dog's Life".

Shen Jingshu looked at the comical ID, a hint of a smile flashing across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and lightly tapped to answer the call.

The live stream screen was split in two. On the other side of the camera was a boy with messy hair and black-rimmed glasses, wearing a loose plain-colored T-shirt. He was sitting on the bed, waving anxiously at the camera.

"Host! I finally managed to snag your live stream lucky bag! You have to save me, save my life!"

The boy's tone was urgent and anxious, and his expression was also flustered.

The viewers in the live stream were amused by the ID and his demeanor, and the chat was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, this ID really paid off! This guy's really in trouble!"

"Judging from his anxious look, he must have run into some serious trouble!"

Shen Jingshu remained calm and slowly began to soothe him, "Don't rush, tell me slowly, and explain everything that happened to you."

"Okay, host."

The boy in the video looked exceptionally young, with delicate features and a classic baby face, exuding youthful energy. Anyone who saw him would think he was a college graduate just entering the workforce. But when he spoke, everyone in the live stream was taken aback.

"My name is Jiahao. I'm actually almost thirty, but I have a baby face, so I look younger."

Jiahao gave a bitter laugh and slowly recounted his ordeal. After graduating from university, he worked as an ordinary employee at a company, living a peaceful and stable life, renting an apartment alone. But this tranquility was completely shattered three days ago.

"Starting three days ago, I have been having the same dream every night. In the dream, there is always a girl dressed in ancient costume chasing after me, calling me 'husband' and saying that she has finally found me."

At first, Jiahao thought it was just because he had been single for too long and was having these thoughts, and even considered it a ridiculous dream. He didn't take it to heart.

For several days in a row, this woman in ancient costume appeared in his dreams every night. At first, she looked at him with tender eyes and murmured her longing. Later, she just stared at him silently without saying a word, her eyes resentful and persistent, which made him feel uneasy.
