Seeing the viewers in his livestream start questioning one another,
with some even accusing him of having ulterior motives,
Xiao Yu naturally couldn't let things keep going like this.
"Everyone, settle down. Mr. Lin, since you don't believe me, I'll go into more detail!"
"Your first breakup will be two years from now. Throughout that time, you'll have zero physical contact! One night, after you force a kiss on her, she'll lash out at you, and you'll break up."
"After the breakup, you'll regret it and pursue her again, giving her gifts and apologizing. She'll realize she overreacted, and you'll get back together."
"Your second breakup will be in the third year. During that year, you'll tread carefully around her, afraid to overstep. To you, she'll seem like a completely different person on stream and in private, and she'll barely acknowledge you. You'll start feeling lost about the relationship, and eventually you'll part on amicable terms."
"Not long after the breakup, you'll start missing her and regret it again. You'll ask to get back together, and she'll agree."
"Your third breakup will be when you're thirty-five. By then, you'll be utterly sick of the endless courtship, the endless celibacy, and having a girlfriend in name only. In your eyes, she won't be as beautiful as she is now. That day, a younger college girl will tell you she likes you, and you'll sleep with her, then break up with Xia Mo."
"That time, she'll be the one to ask to get back together, because by then she'll have fallen in love with you. But you'll refuse."
"And that will be the end of your relationship for good."
Lin Hao was dumbstruck.
He wanted to argue, but couldn't find the words.
If he was honest with himself, he felt that if Xia Mo really treated him that way, he would indeed do those things.
Any man would.
"Holy shit, that makes no sense!"
"Why would Xia Mo act like that? Not letting him touch her is one thing, but she won't even let him hold her hand?"
"Could she be..."
"Don't tell me..."
"Frigid?"
"Repulsed by physical contact with men?"
"That's possible. Have you forgotten what her ex said the night he was caught cheating? She hadn't let him touch her once since they'd met!"
"I remember now, too. Wasn't her ex in exactly the same situation? Even if Young Master Lin dates Xia Mo, he'll just be going through the same thing all over again!"
"Young Master Lin really is a walking tragedy!"
Lin Hao said, "Master Xiao, I don't want to hear all that. So you're saying that as long as I keep pursuing her, I'll win her over, right?"
Xiao Yu shook his head. "Yes, Mr. Lin. If you're unwilling to accept this future, you're welcome to pretend I never said any of this and keep pursuing Miss Xia Mo. But in the end, all you'll be wasting is your own youth."
Young Master Lin was deeply upset and dissatisfied.
He had spent so much on gifts for the raffle because he wanted an ending where they grew old together, not a bucket of cold water and advice to give up.
"Can't you change my future?"
"How am I supposed to change factors that depend on your own choices? I can't change the way you and Miss Xia think. That would be hypnosis, not fortune-telling."
"Then tell me, where exactly will I find love?"
"One reading a day. Come back tomorrow."
Lin Hao opened his mouth, intending to snap, "I'm never coming back! What the hell did you even tell me?" But in the end, he said nothing and simply disconnected.
He wasn't sure whether he would come back, because Xiao Yu had indeed gotten everything about his past right. The man had real ability. Being unhappy was no reason to say something too nasty, let alone make an enemy of him.
Xiao Yu knew he was upset, but still reminded him, "Mr. Lin, please send the rocket."
Lin Hao didn't send one.
He pretended he hadn't heard and left the livestream altogether.
Xiao Yu said no more.
He had said all he needed to. Skipping payment meant the transaction was invalid, which also meant Xiao Yu wouldn't have to bear that share of the heavenly punishment for "revealing heaven's secrets."
Even if he wanted to explain, he couldn't. The man had already fled the livestream. Was he supposed to chase him down and spell it out?
Forget it.
"Wait, did Young Master Lin skip out on the bill?"
"He's probably just upset. Besides, he spent thirty thousand on the raffle. That doesn't really count as skipping payment, does it?"
"How does it not? Gifts for the raffle only get you a chance at a reading. Now that he's had one, he has to send a rocket. Not sending one means he's skipping payment!"
"The stream rules are perfectly clear: if the reading is accurate, send a rocket; if it's inaccurate, it's free. Otherwise, face the consequences! Who does he think he's giving that attitude to? If he can't accept a future like that, he shouldn't have asked for a reading in the first place!"
"What a joke. Blaming everyone else for his own problems. Master Xiao already made everything clear. If he really likes Miss Xia Mo that much, he should change himself. Who's he trying to impress with that sulking?"
"Exactly. Master Xiao even said Miss Xia would fall for him in the end. Isn't that the best possible outcome? He's the one who cheats and betrays her. What does he have to complain about? Is he an idiot?"
"Someone like that deserves to stay single forever. I'd block him. Master Xiao revealed heaven's secrets to read his fortune, and he just ran off because he was upset. After all that work Master Xiao put in, what the hell is this?"
At the Lin family villa, Lin Hao was furiously cursing up a storm.
"Some fucking master! He's just a money-grubbing bastard! I already sent tens of thousands in gifts, and he still chased me for a rocket. Fuck your rocket! Having some ability means you get to be endlessly greedy?"
"Now that you've said all that, even if I do get together with Xia Mo, how could she possibly fall for me? If she knows I'll dump her in the end, why would she ever date me?"
"Fuck you! You're deliberately ruining my chances! Finding ways to make Xia Mo reject me. Fuck!"
After leaving the livestream, Lin Hao grew angrier the more he thought about it, until he smashed his phone.
Precisely because he believed in Xiao Yu's ability, he was especially furious now.
After pursuing Xia Mo for so long and spending so much on tips, his chances had effectively been declared OVER.
"If you'd just said I was Xia Mo's next boyfriend and shut up about all that bullshit afterward, I'd have been happy to reward you with a few Super Rockets!"
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow my ass! I spent thirty thousand just to get a reading, and you're still stringing me along? That money-grubbing is shameless. A bunch of bootlicking idiots are still spamming about what an honest streamer you are. What a fucking joke."
Unable to swallow his anger, Lin Hao decided to go out drinking.
Yet he still had absolutely no idea what skipping payment would cost him.
That night, after he got utterly wasted, a gang of thugs set their sights on him and abducted him!
When he woke up the following day to unfamiliar surroundings and a ten-million ransom demand, Lin Hao was completely stunned.
This kidnapping should never have happened!
All over five hundred yuan, all because he was upset, he had broken a cardinal rule!
In Xiao Yu's livestream.
By then, he had begun his second fortune reading.
Amusingly enough, the second man was also a Gao Fushuai, and his request was exactly the same: "I want to pursue Xia Mo. How can I win her over?"
This time, Xiao Yu didn't try to dissuade him. He understood that the man might not believe in the predicted future, might be the melodramatic "I control my fate, not heaven" type, or might think he could accept Xia Mo's frigidity.
He said directly, "Become Miss Xia Mo's Top Supporter and show her meticulous care every day. She won't fall for you, but sooner or later, your wallet will move her, and she'll give you a chance."
The man nodded his thanks, sent a rocket, and obediently disconnected.
The viewers marveled, saying Xia Mo really had everyone under her spell.
The women in particular complained that, even knowing it would lead nowhere, the Gao Fushuai still threw themselves at her like moths to a flame, acting like lovesick puppies.
The third man was even more ridiculous.
He had a different face and a different background.
But he was also a Gao Fushuai, just as lovestruck, and asked exactly the same kind of question.
"Other than becoming her Top Supporter, is there another way to win Xia Mo over?"
"Yes. First, find a way to learn her home address, though that's a privilege reserved for her Top Supporter. If you can get the address, go wait outside her home every day, bring flowers, and shower her with attention."
"Simp and simp, and you'll end up with nothing!"
"Simp and simp, and you'll end up with everything!"
Those were the two opposing views the livestream viewers repeated most often.
Others relentlessly joked that Xiao Yu was finding creative ways to help Xia Mo make money!
As long as they became her Top Supporter, they'd have a good chance of making her their girlfriend. What an enormous temptation.
