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

"Call me by my name."

Shen Jingshu pursed her lips slightly, somewhat hesitant: "Wouldn't calling someone by their full name be too formal? Besides, people mostly use full names, which doesn't feel very intimate."

She had never called anyone by their full name before, and always felt that something was off.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxing's eyes instantly lit up with a faint smile, his gaze filled with undisguised doting affection.

In the vast city of Beijing, from the elders of powerful families to their peers, everyone held him in awe and respectfully addressed him as President Lu or Mr. Lu.

Aside from the old man in the family, there was only one person in the whole world, Shen Jingshu, who dared to bargain with him and struggle with how to address him to be considered intimate.

This uniqueness made his heart melt completely.

He gently reminded him, with tender indulgence: "When you met Grandpa before, you called me the same way you did from now on."

A single sentence instantly enlightened Shen Jingshu.

She suddenly remembered how she addressed the old man at the Lu family's old house. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she spoke softly, her voice gentle and sweet: "Alright... Jingxing."

The two words landed softly, intimate and gentle, completely eliminating any sense of distance.

Lu Jingxing's heart trembled slightly, and tenderness almost overflowed from his eyes.

He gently spoke, establishing a unique form of address between them: "Yes. If you feel too formal, you can also call me Brother Lu."

"It will be all right."

The simple conversation, without any passionate confession, quietly established a unique level of intimacy between the two of them.

From the cold and distant "President Lu" to the gentle and approachable "Jingxing, Brother Lu".

With a single word changed, the distance vanished, and the meaning became clearer.

The carriage was bathed in warm light, and a gentle evening breeze caressed the windows.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally beautiful.

When Shen Jingshu returned to her dormitory under the cover of night, the room was brightly lit, and her three roommates were still awake.

As soon as they saw her push the door open and come in, they all looked up at her, their eyes gleaming with gossip, and immediately surrounded her.

Xu Zhixia raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, our Jing Shu is finally back! Did you go on a date with Mr. Lu today?"

Shen Jingshu casually placed her bag on the table, smiled helplessly, and said in a light tone, "It wasn't really a date, we just had dinner together."

"Just dinner?" Lin Miaomiao looked incredulous and leaned closer to ask curiously, "Then why are you back so late? Is there some sweet aftermath we don't know about?"

Song Ran nodded in agreement, her eyes full of mischief.

Faced with the three teasing her in turn, Shen Jingshu's ears burned slightly, and she quickly explained, "Don't make wild guesses. My second brother made an urgent call in the middle, and I had to deal with something, which is why I'm late."

"An emergency? What is it?" Xu Zhixia immediately asked.

"A friend of mine accidentally offended some evil spirits or unclean things, so I went over to help resolve the issue," Shen Jingshu briefly explained.

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stopped joking. Although they were already used to her special abilities, they still couldn't help but be amazed and wisely didn't ask for more details.

"It turns out we were dealing with serious business; it was a misunderstanding!"

Shen Jingshu smiled faintly, not elaborating on Gu Yunzhou's younger brother's private affairs. Matters of metaphysics inherently involve the privacy of others, and she always kept to herself, never casually publicizing them.

At this moment, Xu Zhixia suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, Jing Shu! You haven't been live for several days! Fans all over the internet are going crazy, and people are spamming the chat every day, asking when you're going to go live again!"

Upon hearing this, the other two echoed his sentiments.

Shen Jingshu glanced at the time; it was still early, and she had nothing to do tonight. Indeed, it had been a long time since she had met with her fans.

After a moment's thought, she nodded gently: "Then let's start broadcasting tonight."

"Very good!"

The three roommates' eyes lit up instantly, and their enthusiasm skyrocketed.

"Then go wash up! Leave the preparations for the broadcast to us!"

Shen Jingshu was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to grab her pajamas and go into the bathroom.

No sooner had she left than Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao got to work quickly. They turned on the equipment, adjusted the live stream angle, set out the water glasses, and tidied the table. In just a few minutes, they had all the live stream equipment ready, and everything was in perfect order.

Not long after, Shen Jingshu finished washing up and changed into a loose and comfortable solid-color pajama set, looking fresh and clean.

Watching her three roommates bustling around, she felt both helpless and warm inside. These three roommates were always more enthusiastic and gossipy than she was.

Under the expectant gazes of the three, Shen Jingshu put on her mask, revealing only her clear and lively eyes, and sat calmly in front of the computer, turning on the live stream.

The next second—

The live stream page lit up instantly, and the previously empty screen was flooded with tens of thousands of viewers in an instant!

The barrage of comments flooded the screen at an astonishing speed, startling Shen Jingshu, who had just started the broadcast.

She turned around in surprise to look at the three smiling people behind her.

Xu Zhixia and the other two couldn't hide their cunning, and they smiled mischievously.

Shen Jingshu then suddenly realized what was going on.

Unbeknownst to her, her three roommates had already secretly joined her fan community and were very active in the community, getting along well with a group of long-time fans.

Just now, someone even secretly posted a rumor in the super topic that Master Shen would be going live tonight.

Fans across the internet had been eagerly anticipating her live stream, and as soon as they received the news, they all waited outside the live stream room.

The moment the broadcast started, fans who had been accumulating for days flocked in, creating a spectacular scene with tens of thousands of people online at once.

The screen was filled with lively comments, all expressing longing and greetings.

The live stream room, which had been quiet for many days, suddenly became hot and lively again overnight.

The screen was filled with rapidly scrolling comments, some joking, some expectant, and some genuinely concerned.

Shen Jingshu first nodded slightly to the camera, her tone sincere: "I was indeed preoccupied with personal matters a few days ago and was unable to go live. I apologize for keeping everyone waiting."

The barrage of comments instantly became denser—

[It's okay! Streamers need to have their own lives too!]

I understand! As long as you're safe and sound!

[Please, I'll offer to do a few more divinations as compensation!]

[Six divinations! We must do six divinations today!]

Shen Jingshu looked at the screen and smiled slightly: "We have limited time tonight, so let's do three divinations first. We can add more if we finish early."

Without saying another word, she tapped her finger and released the first lucky bag of the night.

The lucky bags were snapped up in the blink of an eye as soon as they were put up.

"Congratulations to the fan with the ID 'July'! Are you there? You can request to connect."

"Yes, yes, host!"

"July" immediately appeared in the comments, followed by a connection request.

The moment the call connected, a young man in his early twenties appeared on the screen. He had an ordinary appearance and a mix of naivety and excitement.

"Streamer! You finally picked me! I've been a huge fan of yours!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately gifted a sports car without saying another word, and the gift effects exploded on the screen.

Shen Jingshu asked calmly, "What do you want to ask?"

"I want to know if my girlfriend and I can be together in the future? Can we get married?" The boy's tone was serious and nervous. "We met in a game, it's been almost a year, and we agreed to meet in real life in a week. I really like her, I love her very much."

The comments section has already started to erupt—

Wow! Online dating through gaming leads to real-life meeting! How sweet!

[I'm totally smitten! I believe in love again!]

[Quickly calculate! Will it work?!]

Shen Jingshu: "Send her photo to my inbox."

"good!"
