[Ahhh, Su Huaiming called me husband! I don't care, he's my wife!]
[I love it so much when my Xiao Mei calls me "husband," my XP explodes!]
[Fu Jingfan, draw your sword! I must fight you to the death!]
[Haha, the amount of traitors in the live stream is way too high!]
[You guys are too brave! President Fu shown up, and you're still trying to steal his wife, pointing fingers and gossiping. jpg]
Fortunately, Fu Jingfan didn't care about the comments from netizens. A few seconds later, the colorful bullet comments reappeared, containing only one word:
[Um]
His speaking style was much more aloof than before; it was clearly Fu Jingfan himself.
Su Huaiming could only continue the awkward conversation with Fu Jingfan, "What item did you buy?"
[No.]
Su Huaiming paused, then asked, "Did you fail to get one?"
[Nothing I want to buy]
These few short sentences were analyzed by netizens into a short essay.
[President Fu so shrewd! He came to the live-streaming sales room but didn't have any items he wanted to buy. Isn't it obvious he just came to see his wife?!]
Using a cool and aloof tone to say sweet nothings is incredibly effective.
[Everyone here, I'll drink this bowl of dog food first as a sign of respect.]
[Haha, I suggest President Fu change his ID to: Not a Butler, Butler]
Su Huaiming saw the comments on the screen but didn't join in the celebration.
He knew Fu Jingfan; Fu Jingfan had probably only reluctantly opened the live stream after being persuaded by the butler, and wasn't really there to watch him.
Su Huaiming deliberately feigned surprise, his face displaying an air of detachment and indifference, and murmured, "So you came to see me."
Su Huaiming said this only to solidify his public image and did not expect Fu Jingfan's response. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, cool comments lit up at the top of the live stream.
Yes, I came to see you.
Su Huaiming: "..."
Has he lost his mind? How could he say something like that?!
The viewers in the live stream didn't notice Su Huaiming's unusual expression. Seeing the couple showing affection as if no one else was around, they also started commenting in the chat.
[Brother, I bought something during the live stream, will your husband be angry?]
I've been watching your live streams for several days now. I really didn't mean anything by it; I just genuinely admire you. I hope your husband won't be jealous?
[Brother, you know me. I was just joking, I didn't mean anything by it. You two absolutely mustn't fight because of me!]
[Brother, I'm so scared. What if your husband retaliates against me? You have to protect me! You know I don't have any connections. I'm struggling alone in the city. It's so hard, unlike your husband, who has everything and such a wonderful wife like you.]
Seeing the pitiful tone of the comments, Su Huaiming felt it was good to comfort the netizens, so he said, "Don't worry, Fu Jingfan very magnanimous. He won't care about this, and the two of us won't argue about it."
The moment these words were spoken, the entire live stream fell silent.
Su Huaiming's expression was extremely serious, especially like a straight man who had been completely manipulated by a green tea bitch, feeling wronged by his partner, and even helping her count the money after being sold out.
The live chat exploded with a string of "haha" comments, interspersed with messages like "I feel sorry for Fu Jingfan."
Su Huaiming looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowing in confusion.
Mingming that netizens are afraid of Fu Jingfan, yet he's speaking up for them. Why are netizens feeling sorry for Fu Jingfan?
Seeing this, Sun Siyuan, who was sitting to the side, felt dizzy and slapped his forehead, thinking that Su Huaiming was beyond saving.
He had explained so much to Su Huaiming, and Su Huaiming had carefully observed Ning Lei for several days. How could he still be so easily fooled by a green tea b*tch?!
Sun Siyuan couldn't be bothered with this piece of trash, but he and Su Huaiming were friends, and it would be disloyal and beneath his dignity to just sit idly by.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Siyuan waved to Su Huaiming.
After Su Huaiming turned his gaze over, he pointed at Ning Lei, then picked up his tea and drank it all in one gulp, trying to wink at Su Huaiming and remind him.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Su Huaiming suddenly realized, "This is also a green tea."
Ning Lei: "..."
What did Su Huaiming mean by that? After Sun Siyuan pointed at him, Su Huaiming blurted out the word "green tea," wasn't he implying that Su Huaiming was a green tea?!
That's outrageous!!
Ning Lei was furious, shaking his leg wildly. If he hadn't been mindful that Su Huaiming was in front of the camera, he probably would have pounced on him.
Jameel turned to look at his father, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "Wow, Dad, you look just like Logger Vick!"
Ning Lei almost jumped up excitedly when he heard the word "bald".
Which celebrity doesn't care about their hair? He ran a heavy hand through his hair, glared fiercely at his son, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Your dad has so much hair, where's the baldness?"
Jameel shook his head and said with a chubby face, "It's not that we look alike, it's just that Dad's expression just now was somewhat similar."
Ning Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard "doesn't look alike," and when he heard his son use the word "similar," he couldn't help but feel gratified, and his tone softened considerably, "How so?"
"Whenever Logger Vick gets so angry he wants to die, but doesn't know how to retaliate, he jumps up and down in a fit of rage... his expression is exactly the same as Dad's just now!" Jameel's eyes sparkled, completely unaware of the hurt his words caused Ning Lei. He said in a boastful tone, "I want to tell all the kids that my dad is amazing; he's the best at imitating Logger Vick!"
Ning Lei: "..."
Ning Lei: "..."
Ning Lei: "..."
Thank you for your appreciation, my dear son!
Having been stabbed in the back by his own son, Ning Lei was furious but couldn't vent his anger. He was also worried about whether his son's expression was as his son had described. His face kept changing, and it was quite a sight to behold.
Jameel's eyes lit up even more as he pulled a few friends together to secretly watch his dad's expression, whispering among themselves.
Both on and off the stage were chaotic. The live-streaming sales event, which was originally scheduled for 45 minutes, only lasted for less than ten minutes. After that, Su Huaiming and Fu Jingfan chatted remotely to make up the time.
This could be called the most lackluster live-streaming sales event in history, but netizens left satisfied and flocked to Weibo, discussing all sorts of things. Amidst the laughter, Su Huaiming was repeatedly sent to the top of the trending searches.
Su Huaiming had already anticipated this situation. In order to maintain a good mood, he pondered for a few seconds and then deleted the app.
Ji Mingzhe, as the elder brother present, took the initiative to walk over and pat Su Huaiming on the shoulder. "You did a great job. If it weren't for you, our first live-streaming sales event might have gone wrong."
Su Huaiming forced a smile and accepted Ji Mingzhe's offer.
Yu Ruicheng walked over, unable to find the words of praise, and gave Su Huaiming a thumbs up.
Sun Siyuan rolled his eyes. "Your way of praising is so outdated, it makes me feel like I've been transported back to the 70s."
Yu Ruicheng, unconvinced, pressed on, "What kind of praise wouldn't be outdated?"
Sun Siyuan thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said to Su Huaiming, "You just wasted time chatting, that's impressive!"
Su Huaiming: "..."
Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?
If you have nothing to say, you don't have to say anything!
Su Huaiming was truly impressed by him and, for the sake of his own peace of mind, decided to stay away from him.
Su Huaiming played a few games in his room and suddenly thought of Fu Jingfan.
Now that the live stream is over, he should chat with Fu Jingfan again to reinforce the effect.
Su Huaiming opened Fu Jingfan's message box, and just as he was about to type, his hand suddenly stopped.
His relationship with Fu Jingfan wasn't one where they could just chat casually. What could he say to explain why he hadn't contacted Fu Jingfan and to express his deep affection?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Huaiming suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering the banter and conversations among netizens in the live stream.
He couldn't tell that Fu Jingfan, a man whose life revolved solely around work, certainly wouldn't know anything about "green tea" (a derogatory term for women seeking sexual favors).
Su Huaiming thought it was a good idea and, mimicking the witty banter of netizens, sent a message to Fu Jingfan.
[It's Su Huaiming, not Huaimin, and I'm still awake: Husband, I'm so clumsy, unlike others who can easily win your heart... Husband, I know you don't want to be disturbed, so I haven't contacted you these past few days. You won't blame me, will you? You're not angry, are you? I believe you won't. I know you wouldn't want to be angry with me, right?]
Su Huaiming was very satisfied, feeling that his words were impeccable and that Fu Jingfan would definitely fall for them.
After sending the message, Su Huaiming thought everything was fine. He was just about to play another game when his phone suddenly vibrated.
Fu Jingfan actually called.
Su Huaiming paused for a moment, then answered the phone, "Is there something you need?"
There was complete silence on the other end of the phone. After a one-second pause, Fu Jingfan's deep, magnetic voice came through, "It seems to be him."
Su Huaiming: "Hmm?"
"I thought your phone had been stolen," Fu Jingfan paused, his voice laced with suppressed laughter, "That's why you sent me something like that."
Su Huaiming: "..."
How could he not hear the sarcasm in Fu Jingfan's words? But he couldn't retaliate, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Don't joke around, those are just my true feelings."
Fu Jingfan's tone was very relaxed, and Su Huaiming could imagine that he was leaning back on the sofa, casually taking off his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Real?"
"Of course it's true," Su Huaiming said expressionlessly.
"If that's the case, then you might as well say those things to my face."
Su Huaiming thought about the message he had sent and couldn't help but shudder.
I didn't realize it when I was typing it, but now that I have to read it aloud to Fu Jingfan, I find those words cheesy and pretentious.
Su Huaiming decided to try again, "Is it necessary?"
Fu Jingfan controlled him with just three words: "I want to hear."
Su Huaiming: "..." Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots.
He coughed, retrieved the message he had just sent, and took a deep breath.
It's just a few lines, it'll only take a minute to read, don't take it too seriously.
As long as I'm not upset, it's others who are upset.
