Nie Lixin: "..."
It's clear this money means a lot to them; it's only 3000 yuan, and they're even counting it!
Chapter 63 Gossip Cult
Zou Yuxing warm invitation, inviting Yu Ningjiang and Nie Lixin to join as well.
The two wanted to refuse, but faced with four pairs of eyes shining with excitement, they couldn't bring themselves to say no and could only nod stiffly.
They only had three thousand yuan, but there were six people counting the money, and it took them less than a minute to count it all.
Zou Yuxing wasn't quite done yet and suggested, "How about we do it again!"
This suggestion was unanimously praised and repeated several times; everyone was practically rolling in money.
Zou Yuxing was still not satisfied and exclaimed, "I really wish I could exchange this money for coins, fill a table with them, and count them all night long!"
Nie Lixin chimed in, "It's alright, there will be more and more customers in the future, and then we'll have so much money we can count it all night long."
Zou Yuxing he imagined that beautiful scene.
Reluctantly, they locked the three thousand dollars in the safe in the living room, washed their hands, and returned to the living room.
Having learned from their previous experiences of getting drunk, the production team didn't dare let them drink beverages with high alcohol content, and only prepared a few bottles of juice.
Zou Yuxing didn't mind at all, striking a drinking pose, "We're having a great time today, we have to party until we drop!"
After cheering, the group clinked glasses together.
They carried the burden of sales targets, working day and night, accumulating too much pressure and fatigue. Now they finally released it, chatting in twos and threes, relaxed in their demeanor. The only one with a tense nerve was Nie Lixin.
Nie Lixin's eyes darted around, his tongue tasted bitter, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
As a loyal viewer of "Forward All the Way," he has never missed a single live broadcast, so he is very familiar with the atmosphere!
In his experience, there's always a victim in this kind of situation—no, a gossipmonger!
They didn't drink any alcoholic beverages today, so there's no risk of them getting drunk and talking nonsense, but given Wen Feiran's reputation, Nie Lixin is still very worried.
He had lived for over 20 years and had never been "drunk" by juice, but just to be on the safe side, Nie Lixin still stood up and poured himself a glass of warm water in the kitchen.
When he returned, he found Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting locked in a fight. His seat was taken, leaving only one empty seat next to Wen Feiran.
!!!
Getting too close to Wen Feiran will cause him to be affected; is he deliberately going up to her because he wants to die sooner?
Nie Lixin gasped. Everyone else was sitting, but he stood there like a telephone pole, drinking water nonstop, not daring to take a single step forward.
Wen Feiran had noticed Nie Lixin avoiding him a long time ago, but it wasn't obvious. But this action now practically screamed on his face, "Wen Feiran and I are irreconcilable enemies."
Wen Feiran had also been targeted before, but everyone maintained a facade of peace and didn't openly confront the conflict. However, Nie Lixin openly rejected him, and Wen Feiran keenly sensed his attitude and emotions, which made him feel uncomfortable. He kept his head down and frantically drank his juice.
The two of them, one sitting and one standing, drank three glasses in just five minutes, pretending to be busy to cover up their embarrassment.
Viewers in the live stream noticed it immediately.
What's going on with these two people?
[I've wanted to say this for a while now. Why does it seem like Nie Lixin really dislikes Wen Feiran? He always avoids him, and he shuts up whenever Wen Feiran speaks.]
[I feel so sorry for my wife. She didn't do anything wrong, so why is she being targeted like this?]
[Nie Lixin wasn't like this before; there seems to be some misunderstanding.]
[I feel so suffocated for them, the atmosphere is so awkward.]
The two remained deadlocked, but fortunately Zou Yuxing, who was good at livening up the atmosphere, was among them. After finishing his game with Su Shangting, Zou Yuxing took the initiative to encourage everyone to play games. Not only that, he also mysteriously took out a can of beer from under the table.
Zou Yuxing said smugly, "Although the director hid all the alcoholic beverages, I was clever and left one can beforehand. Usually, the loser drinks, but this time it's different; only the winner gets a sip!"
Everyone agreed that in such situations, Wen Feiran would usually minimize his presence and become invisible. In addition, he was in a bad mood, so he kept his head down and remained detached.
The sudden heaviness beside him didn't pull Wen Feiran out of his own world until he felt a warm sensation on the back of his hand.
Wen Feiran turned her head blankly, looking up at Gu Suian's handsome profile.
Gu Suian looked ahead calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if their hands had merely touched accidentally.
Wen Feiran hesitated for a few seconds, moved his fingers, and tried to pull his hand back, but Gu Suian hooked his fingers gently first and turned to look at him.
The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds, neither of them speaking, but Wen Feiran drew some kind of strength from their gaze.
He habitually avoids conflict, brainwashes himself, and pretends nothing happened, as if this would allow him to escape the vortex. But this also passively cuts off contact with the outside world, maintaining a superficial calm, and nothing actually changes.
He didn't like it this way, he was just used to it, but he wasn't alone anymore.
It was Nie Lixin's turn to lose, and he chose truth. Wen Feiran took a deep breath and spoke up, "Can I go?"
Before Nie Lixin could react, Zou Yuxing excitedly rushed over and shook Wen Feiran's shoulders frantically. "I asked you to ask questions before, but you wouldn't. Feiran, I'm so happy for you! You've finally figured it out! That's what makes games fun!"
