"Finally over. Listening to you complain was starting to get unbearable," another girl's voice came through.

"Don't even mention it. Let's rest for a bit and hurry up to take the next order," the female companion complained.

Zhao Yu immediately understood why the girl had stayed silent after he pressured the match—she had been voice-chatting with her friend and complaining about him.

[Oh-ho, looks like there's a show coming!]

[Don't hang up, streamer! Let us hear how this girl evaluates you.]

[I'm kind of curious too. What do companions usually think of their clients?]

"Since everyone's curious, I'll satisfy you all." Zhao Yu muted his own voice channel before interacting with the Bullet Screen.

The female companion seemed completely unaware that Zhao Yu was still in the voice channel and continued venting like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"Does he think he's so amazing at games? He kept showing off nonstop. Wasn't he just trying to get my attention?"

"He was even pressuring me just now. I'm not even good at playing support heroes like Soraka, and those idiots on the enemy team couldn't find a chance to kill him a few times?"

"Don't be mad. After being a companion for so long, don't you get it? Aren't most people who order companions just single, shut-in nerds?" the female companion's friend couldn't help trying to console her.

[What? I'm just some guy who plays games. Personal attacks aren't okay, are they?]

[I'm dying. Aren't companions in the service industry? How do they dare complain about their clients?]

[Too many simps spoil them.]

No matter how fast the Bullet Screen scrolled, the female companion couldn't see it, so she showed no intention of stopping and kept voicing her dissatisfaction.

"Isn't he just a single shut-in nerd? I bet he's the kind of loser who doesn't wash his socks for over ten days or even wash his hair, the kind who likes girls in black stockings."

"That's outright slander. I admit I do like black stockings, but I'm still very clean," Zhao Yu calmly commented.

[Damn, it's rare to see such an honest streamer. Followed.]

[To be honest, I like them too.]

[It's just that this girl talks way too nastily.]

"Do you still want to keep listening? I don't mind, but I'm worried you guys won't be able to take it." Zhao Yu looked at the Bullet Screen and asked.

[Keep going. Of course we have to. I'm genuinely curious what else they'll say.]

[Keep going. I'm recording this to crush my good bro's dream of dating a companion girl.]

[The guy above is a true brother.]

[Keep going...] As a special Bullet Screen message appeared, Zhao Yu received the first rocket of his life.

"Thanks to boss IG Awesome for the rocket. Then I'll keep going. Hopefully she still hasn't realized she forgot to leave her voice channel." Zhao Yu's face lit up as he thanked him loudly.

He hadn't expected a mere accident to create such great content. Many viewers were extremely curious about what companions truly thought of their clients, and someone had even sent him a rocket.

"If they didn't like that sort of thing, could they make this much money?" the female companion's friend said.

"That's true. Didn't I deliberately choose a photo like this just to lure in these shut-in nerds? No girls like them in real life, yet they think someone online will?" The female companion sneered.

"Besides, whenever other clients book me, they choose jungle and protect me. But him? Not only did he not protect me, he kept pinging me whenever I messed up a last hit. So annoying!"

"He has no gentlemanly manners at all. People like that really are disgusting. Forget it, there's no need to get mad at him. I'll raise my rates a little later. There are plenty of people booking companions anyway."

"Exactly. He didn't even mention booking consecutive sessions, yet he expected me to take the initiative and chat with him? What a joke. He's just a poor loser," the female companion said.

"Isn't that so? If he wants to chat, he should at least show some sincerity, right? The client I had today was pretty nice. Not only was he sweet-talking me, he even sent me a huge red packet." Hearing this, her friend couldn't help showing off.

"I'm so jealous. When will I get a rich client like that..." the female companion sighed.

"Be more selective and you'll run into one eventually. Let me tell you, men are just like that. Just wait for him to lick your boots."

"The more we talk, the more I think my client today was a freak. Fine, he didn't go easy on me, but he kept making sarcastic remarks too. Even the enemy team couldn't stand it."

"He's just a lousy loser. Why bother arguing with him? Is he the only client out there? Plenty of people are willing to spend money on us!"

By then, Zhao Yu could hardly stand listening any longer. He turned his voice channel back on and cleared his throat.

"Miss, you forgot to leave the voice channel."

Silence. A long silence.

The next instant, the female companion's panicked voice came through. "Boss, let me explain. We were just joking around!"

"Enough. Since I've already heard it, there's no need to keep pretending, right?" Zhao Yu said with a cold laugh.

"You're a companion, yet you don't even understand basic professional ethics? Isn't this line of work about providing emotional value? What, you say the meat tastes great while eating it, then complain the bowl is dirty when it's time to wash up?"

"What? What do you mean by that? Putting everything else aside, weren't you at fault too? You started out by saying all sorts of weird stuff to me!" The female companion immediately retorted.

"I didn't say anything strange. You said it yourself. I just happened to randomly get Ashe," Zhao Yu said flatly.

"Even if it was random, would I have said that stuff if you hadn't led me into it? Who the hell are you? What makes you qualified to judge me?" The female companion no longer even bothered faking her cutesy voice, and her voice became rough.

[Holy shit! Who's talking?]

[She can really put on an act, huh?]

[I can't imagine all companions using that fake voice...]

[Damn! Pay me back for my beautiful memories!]

"Give me a break! I've never claimed to be a good person, but do you think you're any better? If you really think everyone you meet is a lousy loser, why don't you change jobs?" Zhao Yu cut her off.

"You have no professional ethics, yet you still want to make money with dignity. I'm not your dad. Why should I indulge you?"

[That was a great roast!]

[That felt so good to hear! Bro's got guts!]

"I don't know what you've got in your head. I'll send you two extra yuan as a red packet—go sit on one of those kiddie rides outside a supermarket until you figure things out, then talk to me." As he spoke, Zhao Yu tipped her two yuan through the companion app.

"Fuck! Who the hell are you? You're just a fucking—!" Zhao Yu's words clearly broke her defenses, and she couldn't help firing off a string of censored curses.

"What? Still don't understand? I said you have no brain. If you can't hear clearly, I can carve it onto your tombstone." Ignoring her string of curses, Zhao Yu spoke calmly before leaving the voice channel.

There was no helping it. The stream moderators were unusually active today. The moment the female companion started cursing, a warning popped up in the livestream.

"Brothers, there's nothing I can do. I can't keep arguing—the moderators are here..." Zhao Yu explained to the viewers.

[Moderators, get lost! You don't handle what you should, but you show up instantly when justice is being served!]

[As expected of you. You're truly a master of sarcasm. Learned something again.]

After briefly scanning the Bullet Screen, Zhao Yu thought for a moment and spoke again. "Actually, not all companions are like this. I can only say I had bad luck. Don't judge people with prejudice, brothers."

[We get it. We're not those self-entitled princesses.]

[You really think we brothers have no manners, huh?]

"Hahaha, of course not. I know you brothers are all civilized people. There's no point letting idiots ruin our mood, so... I'll show you guys some wild tricks."

As the tension in the livestream gradually faded, Zhao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, he didn't want the pursuit of content to drag other people into this. There were still plenty of hardworking companions out there; there was no need to condemn them all because of one person.

[IG Awesome: It's fine, book another one. I quite like hearing you talk dirty.]

At that moment, the person who had sent the rocket earlier gave Zhao Yu another five rockets, signaling for him to book a new companion.

[Is that enough? If not, I can send more.]

"Boss is generous! That's enough, that's enough! Then I'll keep going..." Zhao Yu hurriedly stopped him. He wasn't a child; he understood the value of taking things slowly.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and Zhao Yu said to the livestream, "You've probably gotten tired of watching domestic companions on other streamers' channels, right? How about I book a foreign companion and broaden everyone's horizons?"

As he spoke, he opened a website filled with Japanese text.

[Hiss! Isn't it a little inappropriate to watch this in broad daylight?]

[Is there going to be some exciting content?]

[Wait, isn't this a Japanese companion website?] Some viewers who understood Japanese began explaining in the Bullet Screen.

"How about I book a Japanese girl and show everyone what companions in Japan are like?" Zhao Yu slowly said, the corners of his mouth lifting.
