Su Huaiming asked in return, "Do you really want it?"
Sun Siyuan raised an eyebrow and said a little sharply, "What else?"
Sun Siyuan was acting so high and mighty, as though Su Huaiming ought to give him the silk comforter.
Su Huaiming thought about it, then took out his phone and showed Sun Siyuan a QR code.
Seeing the smile on Su Huaiming's face, Sun Siyuan immediately understood.
Su Huaiming wanted to add him as a friend!
The anti-fans seized the opportunity to hurl abuse:
[Su Huaiming really knows how to chase clout. He's trying to use Sun Siyuan to climb the ladder.]
[LMAO, this is the first time I've seen someone suck up so blatantly on a variety show.]
Sun Siyuan usually didn't add strangers, but you couldn't slap a smiling face, and Su Huaiming was even going to give him the silk comforter.
Sun Siyuan slowly took out his phone and said awkwardly but with a showy air, "After we add each other, don't post on Moments every day. I'll find it annoying when I see it, and I don't really like chatting either, so you..."
Before Sun Siyuan could finish, his phone chimed, having recognized Su Huaiming's QR code.
A payment screen appeared on his phone.
Sun Siyuan: "..."
The viewers in the livestream: "..."
Su Huaiming looked at Sun Siyuan and asked bluntly, "How much are you planning to pay for it?"
Chapter 9: 009
The whole world fell silent.
Sun Siyuan could barely breathe.
Su Huaiming put on the air of a businessman. "Make me an offer first, and I'll decide whether to sell."
Sun Siyuan: "..." Was that the point right now?!
The point was that he'd embarrassed himself!
Tens of millions of people in the livestream had seen him get the wrong idea!
Sun Siyuan was used to being fawned over and had never suffered a humiliation like this. Ashamed and angry, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
But when he looked at Su Huaiming, he instantly remembered the unhealthy flush on the latter's face, and his anger inexplicably vanished.
Can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to provoke him. It'll be trouble if he fakes another injury and blames me.jpg.
This was the first time Sun Siyuan had gotten the short end of the stick, and he couldn't even vent. He was like a balloon about to burst.
Su Huaiming watched Sun Siyuan's expression. Seeing that he still hadn't spoken, he thought Sun Siyuan no longer wanted to buy it and said considerately, "It's okay. I can sell it to someone else."
Hearing that, Sun Siyuan immediately bristled.
How could he sell something Sun Siyuan had set his sights on to someone else?!
"I'll buy it!" Sun Siyuan declared with the confidence of a wealthy man. "Is a hundred thousand enough?"
Before Su Huaiming could speak, the director hurried over and patched the rule: "No, you can't use your personal assets. You can only use the starting funds Sun Siyuan just received."
Su Huaiming fell silent for a few seconds, then said, "Only 66 yuan?"
Su Huaiming's tone was completely flat, but Sun Siyuan somehow detected a hint of disdain.
In all his 26 years, he'd never been treated like this.
He felt so wronged!
Su Huaiming figured a silk comforter was definitely worth more than that and wanted to tactfully suggest selling it to someone else, but the director killed that idea. "Supplies can only be traded among yourselves. You can't sell them to a third party."
What a joke. If they really could sell things, he had no doubt that Su Huaiming and the others would sell everything here just to get seven days' worth of living expenses!
Su Huaiming sighed regretfully, knowing that option was out. He was just about to take the silk comforter back when he felt a force pulling it in the opposite direction.
Su Huaiming looked down and saw that it was Sun Siyuan's hand.
Sun Siyuan looked every bit a bully, as if to say he had to sell whether he wanted to or not. "I want this silk comforter. Name your price."
He sounded imposing, but then Sun Siyuan remembered that his starting funds amounted to a measly 66 yuan. His bluster instantly died, and he added fiercely, "Final offer, 66 yuan!"
Su Huaiming asked in return, "Are you sure? That's all your..."
Before he could finish, Sun Siyuan interrupted him. "It's fine. I've got plenty of money."
Su Huaiming: "..."
He couldn't bear to hurt Sun Siyuan's pride, so he nodded. "All right. Transfer me the money, and the silk comforter is yours."
The two of them conducted their transaction openly in front of the cameras, quick and clean, with money as their sole concern.
The viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded by the sight.
[These two really don't treat us like outsiders!]
[Hahahaha, Su Huaiming really knows how to play.]
[Su Huaiming is seriously gutsy. Isn't he afraid of making Sun Siyuan angry?]
[I've noticed Sun Siyuan is especially nice to Su Huaiming. Normally, his prince syndrome would have kicked in, and he'd already have started a fight.]
[A silk comforter sold for only 66 yuan. That must be the lowest price in history. Sun Siyuan is so stingy. Poor Su Huaiming, doge.jpg.]
[I'm dying laughing. Sun Siyuan warned Su Huaiming not to post too much on Moments, and netizens said Su Huaiming was chasing clout, but all Su Huaiming cares about is money!]
[What bad intentions could Su Huaiming possibly have? He just wants to earn a little more money.]
The livestream had only just begun when related topics shot up the trending searches.

Many netizens learned that Sun Siyuan had put on an "I'm rich" act, only to rob someone of a silk comforter for 66 yuan in the end. They flocked to the livestream after hearing about it, and its popularity reached another peak.
After 15 minutes, everyone gathered in the living room and walked to the nearest supermarket to shop.
The small city had a relatively small population, but its buildings were distinctive and its streets exceptionally clean. It had a lot to offer tourists, but it wasn't very well known, so there were few visitors.
As evening approached, the temperature was comfortable. The group walked side by side along the road, breathing in the fresh air, relaxed and at ease.
After a few steps, they saw someone selling handmade ice cream by the roadside. The vendor was a kindly old man.
The old man was generous with his ice cream, filling the cones to the brim, and it wasn't expensive either, just two and a half yuan each.
The three children stopped in their tracks as soon as they saw the ice cream stand.
Ji Mingzhe and Yu Ruicheng each bought a child an ice cream. Fu Xiaoxiao was still on tiptoe, looking this way and that, unable to take it all in.
Su Huaiming knew Fu Xiaoxiao too well. Before Fu Xiaoxiao could say he wanted them all, he spoke first. "We can only spend five yuan on ice cream."
Fu Xiaoxiao was immediately displeased. He huffed at Su Huaiming. "Why are you so stingy?!"
"If we spend it all on ice cream, you'll have to go hungry tonight and tomorrow morning," Su Huaiming said.
Fu Xiaoxiao instinctively touched his little belly and puffed out his cheeks. "I don't want that."
Su Huaiming smiled gently. "Then I'll teach you a way not to go hungry."
Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as he looked curiously at Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming said, "Tilt your head back and open your mouth."
Fu Xiaoxiao obediently did as he was told. After opening his mouth wide, he looked at Su Huaiming in puzzlement.
Su Huaiming smiled and said, "Then you can drink the northwest wind until you're full."
"..."
Sun Siyuan hadn't expected Su Huaiming to be so mean and couldn't help laughing out loud. Yu Ruicheng still looked as stern as ever, but his shoulders kept shaking.
Ji Mingzhe looked at the comical pair, Su Huaiming and Fu Xiaoxiao, and smiled helplessly.
Although Fu Xiaoxiao still didn't understand what Su Huaiming meant, he was perceptive. From the reactions of the people around him, he knew Su Huaiming had played a trick on him.
Fu Xiaoxiao was just about to throw a tantrum when Su Huaiming interrupted his spellcasting. "What flavor of ice cream do you want?"
Fu Xiaoxiao was distracted and swallowed as he chose the flavor he wanted.
Su Huaiming said, "I'll have a chocolate one. Which one do you want?"
Fu Xiaoxiao was displeased again. "No, I want two ice creams. You're an adult, so how can you fight me for them?!"
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow.
Seeing that Su Huaiming said nothing, Fu Xiaoxiao thought he'd accepted his argument. Like an undefeated general, he turned around and excitedly pointed at the ice cream. "I want chocolate and that green one!"
Su Huaiming's voice came from above his head. "Could you please get me one matcha and one chocolate?"
The vendor worked quickly, making two ice creams and handing them to Su Huaiming.
Fu Xiaoxiao excitedly reached out to take the ice cream, only to see Su Huaiming holding one in each hand. He took a bite from the one on the left, then a bite from the one on the right, thoroughly enjoying them.
Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot.
Su Huaiming lowered his eyes to Fu Xiaoxiao's dazed expression and snorted inwardly.
Kid, you think you can make me give you my ice cream?!
The kid can go without, but I can't let myself go without!
The vendor had used good ingredients, and the ice cream was exceptionally smooth, with rich chocolate and matcha flavors. If he hadn't been so short of money, Su Huaiming would have wanted a third.
Fu Xiaoxiao watched helplessly as Su Huaiming took only two bites and nearly half the ice cream was gone. He immediately grew anxious.
Su Huaiming was too tall, so Fu Xiaoxiao could only keep jumping and stretching out his fingers to grab the ice cream, but unfortunately he couldn't touch it at all.
Fu Xiaoxiao was so angry he was close to tears. He planted his hands on his hips and demanded, "How could you do this?!"
