Zhou Che was no fool.
Even if he was somewhat naive, coming from a family of businesspeople meant he usually just chose not to pay attention to certain things.
But when he connected all the key points...
Feng Xiaoman had used Yueyue's photos to have an online romance with Brother Huo.
They had grown up together since childhood; how could Zhou Che not know that Huo was exactly the type to like someone like Yueyue?!
So that's why, when Huo had asked him for the name of the streamer's channel, Zhou Che had deliberately avoided answering.
But he never imagined they'd still run into each other at the player meet-up.
Those people in the gaming group kept praising Sister Wanwan for being so beautiful and singing so well.
Zhou Che was no fool.
They all mistook Yueyue for 'Full Moon Wanwan', and Feng Xiaoman was right there too.
Alright, alright, alright!!!
So it turns out this 'good brother' was trying to steal his girlfriend.
After a moment of feeling lost and hurt, Zhou Che quickly pulled himself together.
Bros are like clothes.
But a girlfriend? That's your future wife, your darling.
Since you, Huo Yaochuan, show no loyalty, don't blame me for showing no mercy.
Zhou Che opened his WeChat contacts and sent a message to Feng Xiaoman.
"My brother is in S City."
"I'll keep you updated on any developments."
On the other end, Feng Xiaoman, though confused by the message, replied: "Thank you, Weimian. You're such a good person."
Zhou Che thought to himself: He was no good person.
He was just a man blinded by rage.
Damn you, Huo Yaochuan!
I treat you like a brother, and you covet my girlfriend!
If Huo Yaochuan were in front of him right now, he really felt like punching him.
...
Inside the live stream.
Jiang Liuyue glanced at the time; it was almost time to end the stream.
Suddenly, the live stream interface began to shake, followed by the roar of a dragon.
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×1]
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×2]
...
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×10]
The live stream exploded.
The fans were shocked.
[Did I see that wrong? I thought it was Night Young Master sending those.]
[Wow, when did our Brother H silently reach level 60?]
[Great, now our stream has two dragon-keepers.]
Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Liuyue saw Huo Yaochuan leaning against the wall not far behind her, looking down as he tapped to send gifts.
As if sensing her gaze, he looked up and gave her a faint smile.
He mouthed silently:
"Whatever he gives, I can give."
"Whatever he can't give, I can give too."
In her daze,
the number of gifts kept increasing.
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×11]
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×12]
...
[HYC sent 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' ×66]
Nearly two hundred thousand worth of gifts in one go.
The damn competitive spirit of men.
Huo Yaochuan must have heard in the car about how, when Zhou Che first entered Jiang Liuyue's stream and she was losing a PK battle, he had dashingly thrown down 66 'Carnivals'.
So now that he had finally reached level 60 and could send the 'Dragon-Riding Chivalrous Hero' gifts,
he sent 66 dragons.
Over there, Zhou Che watched his phone for the live stream constantly vibrating, seeing HYC send so many gifts.
He understood instantly.
To hell with 'Morning Light in the Poplar Forest'!
This HYC was Huo Yaochuan.
Did he really take his brother for a fool?!!!
Fuming, Zhou Che was just about to start sending gifts to outdo him when he suddenly heard Jiang Liuyue speak.
"Thank you, Brother H, for the 66 dragons. You've taken over the stream today."
"Night Young Master, don't send any more, okay?"
"Your money, you should save it for me."
Her words were playful yet carried a hint of ambiguity.
The fans were buzzing with curiosity.
[Ahhh! My ship is sailing! Why? Liuyue can't bear to let Night Young Master spend money.]
[Oh no, could it be? Has Night Young Master really won the beauty's heart?]
[On one hand, thanking Brother H, telling him to go ahead and spend; on the other, telling Night Young Master to save his money for her. Who's close, who's distant, is clear at a glance.]
Hearing these words and seeing the fans' discussions in the comments,
all of Zhou Che's anger and jealousy instantly vanished.
Just then, a WeChat message popped up.
It was from Jiang Liuyue.
"My boyfriend's money is better transferred directly to me."
"Let the sucker waste his money on gifts."
Zhou Che couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.
Ahhh!
I knew Yueyue liked me.
She has me in her heart!!!
He hugged his phone and hopped around a few times on the spot, like an overjoyed Samoyed.
As for Huo Yaochuan?!
Hmph!
A villain who tries to steal his brother's girl.
Zhou Che immediately booked the earliest flight to S City for the next morning.
It just so happened that the apartment he bought for Yueyue in S City was ready for handover.
...
After ending the stream, Jiang Liuyue got up from her chair and stretched.
Huo Yaochuan said, sounding somewhat aggrieved:
"You couldn't bear to let Zhou Che spend money on gifts for you, but you're fine with me spending mine?"
Jiang Liuyue didn't mince words: "Exactly. You're a bad man. Spending your money doesn't hurt my heart at all."
A flicker of amusement passed through Huo Yaochuan's eyes.
He jingled his car keys and said:
"Want to keep spending my money?"
Jiang Liuyue looked at the dark sky outside and asked in surprise:
"Transfer the property now? The offices closed long ago."
Huo Yaochuan: "I've booked the presidential suite at the W Hotel for you for half a year. You were planning to move out anyway, right?"
Jiang Liuyue raised an eyebrow at him and snorted coldly.
"What else? Feng Xiaoman used my photos to have an online romance with you."
"And you? Sneaking behind Feng Xiaoman's back to lurk in my stream, and now planning to break up with her for me."
"If I don't move out quickly, am I supposed to wait for the day she gets so angry she stabs me with a knife?"
Huo Yaochuan really liked her blunt personality.
Hearing this, the smile on his lips grew wider.
"My mistake."
"If she stabs you, I'll take the knife for you. How about that?"
Jiang Liuyue completely ignored his ambiguous attempt to please.
With clear-headed rationality, she waved her hand.
"No need. Just let her stab you directly."
Huo Yaochuan was genuinely a bit hurt this time.
"Do you dislike me that much?"
Jiang Liuyue: "Not entirely."
Huo Yaochuan's eyes lit up for a moment.
Jiang Liuyue: "I like your money."
Huo Yaochuan fell silent: "..."
He was truly at a loss!!!
He originally thought it was just a passing infatuation, but he never expected Jiang Liuyue to be such an interesting woman.
He was really sinking deeper and deeper.
He pressed his hand to his forehead and let out a helpless laugh.
At that moment, Jiang Liuyue also heard the system prompt in her ear.
"Target of pursuit, Huo Yaochuan, favorability level: 88%..."
As expected of a domineering CEO.
Even like this, the progress was only at 88%.
Feeling annoyed, Jiang Liuyue decided to spend his money mercilessly.
"Let's go. I'm not planning to go back and pack."
"Since you're rich, we'll just buy everything new. How about that?" She tilted her head, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
Huo Yaochuan smiled along.
Even he didn't notice the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Liuyue, not moving an inch.
"Of course."
"I'm your other boyfriend."
"My money is only for you to spend."
