Streamer, Was That Fortune-Telling All for Nothing?

Zhao Yan wore a conflicted expression. "Yes, that's him, my first love. I never thought he'd become a professional gigolo..."

"Screenshot taken! Evidence saved!"

"Shouldn't we report this to the police?"

"You're too slow, commenter above. I already called the police and hung up! Room 212 at Dile Bar on Southwest Road in Lian City!"

"Xiaoxiao, hang in there! Your camera's shaking like crazy. Want a shoulder to lean on?"

"The police will probably be here any minute. It's not a good idea to keep secretly filming. Watch out for the karaoke bar's security guards! Xiaoxiao, find somewhere to hide first!"

Tang Xiaoxiao's expression was conflicted, her slender body trembling. The shocking truth before her had left her stunned.

Hearing the viewers' warnings, she hurried into the women's restroom.

Several more minutes passed. Only when she heard the police shouting outside did she slowly regain her composure.

Out of habit, she turned the camera toward her face, smiling bitterly.

"The guy I've had a crush on for years turned out to be both a player and a professional kept man... How blind was I to spend all those years crushing on him?"

"Don't cry, Xiaoxiao! Your true love is waiting for you!"

"Xiaoxiao, my darling, if you're not into girls, consider me! I'm not filthy rich, but I make ten thousand a month, and I have a home and a car!!"

"Brothers, hurry up and list your qualifications! Show Xiaoxiao what we've got! There are plenty of good men out there!"

Zhao Yan seemed to take the hint. Biting her lip, she gazed intently at Tang Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, don't be too upset. You still have so many fans supporting you, and I... I..."

Tang Xiaoxiao's heart raced, and her face flushed bright red!

But accepting a girl's confession? Wasn't that ridiculous??

Just thinking about it made her sick!

And yet, the girl was her top donor!

What a headache!

"Master Xiao, what should I do now? Am I really doomed to grow old alone?"

At those words, Zhao Yan's eyes dimmed slightly. Tang Xiaoxiao's rejection was clear enough.

Xiao Yu said, "I've already accepted your gift, so of course I'll help you. That goes for Miss Zhao too. You don't need to feel sad. You only think you like Tang Xiaoxiao because you've been hurt by men. In reality, you're a perfectly normal woman."

"Let's talk about this man first. He'll be taken into custody, fined, and then appear on the news, becoming a target of public scorn. The other women he's currently dating will soon discover what he's done as well. His reputation will be utterly ruined. That outcome qualifies as 'rotten luck,' doesn't it?"

Zhao Yan nodded. "It certainly does. Handsome, then who will I end up falling in love with?"

"There's no need to rush. You'll meet him when the time comes. Revealing it now would only have the opposite effect. Let things take their course, and you'll find where you belong."

"Well... all right. Since you put it that way, I won't insist. Once a day, right? Can I come back tomorrow to ask about something else?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Yan smiled in relief, then disconnected.

"Now, as for Miss Tang's problem of 'growing old alone,' that has actually been resolved too..."

Tang Xiaoxiao said, "Resolved? I don't understand. Could you explain, Master Xiao?"

"You should have been at work right now, but a mistake you made would have led to your boss giving you a harsh scolding and making you stay overtime. Later, you would have run into that scumbag and confessed your feelings. He would then have conned you out of your money and into bed... You would have lost all faith, rejected every man, and grown old alone."

"But now, because you not only made a mistake but also skipped work without cause, your boss has fired you in a fit of anger... You've also seen that man's true colors, so your future has already changed. Your love life will be especially rocky, but in the end, you'll get an outcome you're happy with."

"Well... hey, wait! Master Xiao, did you just say I've been fired????"

"Yes. I suggest you don't go back to the office. You'll only get chewed out if you do. I've already told you anyway, so why go back just to get yelled at?"

"Pfft, hahahahaha! Congratulations on escaping a lonely old age, Xiaoxiao! Aren't you going to thank Master Xiao?"

"Master Xiao, I want to marry my darling Xiaoxiao! Or my darling Queen would work too. I'm begging you to change my fate!!"

"Fuck, commenter above, you bastard just want them because they're pretty. Master Xiao, find this guy a gay boyfriend!"

"Fuck you!! Want me to come find you and make you my boyfriend??"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

Tang Xiaoxiao, however, was deeply troubled. Looking miserable, she said, "Master Xiao, now that I don't have a job, what am I supposed to do?"

"That'll have to wait until tomorrow. One reading a day, remember."

Tang Xiaoxiao sighed, nodded helplessly, and disconnected.

But she suddenly realized something: her bank account was empty. She wouldn't be able to afford a rocket gift tomorrow!

She hurriedly sent Xiao Yu a private message explaining the problem.

"That's all right. You can even send me a free gift tomorrow."

"Really? Thank you, Master Xiao!"

All he needed was to "complete the transaction," directing the backlash from "Peering into Heaven's Secrets" onto himself and neutralizing it with merit.

For ordinary people, one such transaction a day was safe.

The amount of money wasn't the key. A free gift was no different from five hundred yuan.

Feeling the potent energy in his fingertips, Xiao Yu let out a long, contented breath.

A perfect finish!

"Next up, Brother Four Years! Connect your video!"

"Hehehe, finally my turn! That was so exciting! Thank you so much for giving me this chance, Master Xiao!!"

"What would you like a reading on?"

"Master, I originally wanted to ask about my future career, but you seem able to help change my fate, so I wanted to ask... Could you... save my mom? Her health has been getting worse lately. I can't sleep at night, and I keep having a really bad feeling!"

"Hmm... Don't worry. You're simply suffering from anxiety. Your mother's health isn't as bad as you think. Take her to a major hospital for regular checkups, and don't begrudge the money. She doesn't have any serious illnesses, but she does have some minor ailments."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you so much!! I'll take her to see a doctor right away!"

"I've now finished readings for all three people from yesterday. Next, I'll find people destined to meet me through a prize draw. Hmm... let's set three grand prizes for now. Anyone who draws a one-yuan red packet will qualify for a reading."

"Wait, streamer, I have something to say!! Let me on mic!"

"All right, go ahead."

"Streamer, I've actually wanted to challenge you for a while now. Those three readings you just did-did you actually tell anyone's fortune at all?"

"The gigolo and the rich woman could easily have been hired to put on an act. A few hundred yuan at most. The two girls could be plants too. I paid attention to them. They aren't even in the same city."

"He's one's ex-boyfriend and the other's crush, yet the two of them aren't even in the same city. Statistically speaking, the odds are practically zero!"

"As for the third one, that was even more bullshit. I could've done that myself. You call that fortune-telling? All you did was put on a show and spout a bunch of nonsense! Who doesn't get sick when they grow old? Go to a hospital for a checkup, and even a healthy person will turn up some minor problems, let alone someone middle-aged or elderly!"
