The youngsters’ cheeks were all puffed up because their mouths were full of food, and their lips were greasy.
The netizens watching the livestream:
—— [I’ve gotten used to it. Miss Xiang is really such a Mary Sue. lighting-up-a-cigarette-with-melancholy.jpg]
—— [I suspect that Xiang Yi must have drugged the meal! Otherwise, why is everyone enjoying it so much?!]
—— [??? Are they the same group of rebellious and wild kids that made their club manager and coach worried sick? They instantly became so obedient in front of Xiang Yi!]
…
While Xiang Yi went away to feed Xiao Naofu some prawns? The young men started looking at Shi Sui.
“Brother Shi Sui.” Captain Wander couldn’t care less about table manners. While chewing, he asked, “Are there any requirements to be on your show?”
Shi Sui raised his eyebrows and said, “I’m afraid you’ll have to ask the director about that.”
Wander looked at Li Jianyu and asked, “Uncle, can we be on your show?”
Li Jianyu was dumbfounded.
‘Shi Sui and I are only two years apart. Why did he call me Uncle instead of Brother like how he addressed Shi Sui?’
“I’ll give you ten seconds to rephrase your words,” Li Jianyu said with a fierce expression on his face.
Wander was stunned, and he came to a sudden realization before asking loudly, “Uncle! Can you give us a chance?”
Li Jianyu was dumbfounded.
The comments section of the livestream was flooded with comments like “hahahaha”.
Li Jianyu said leisurely, “No, you guys are too expensive to hire.”
China’s e-sports industry was booming with the rising popularity of e-sports, coupled with the rapid development of livestreaming platforms and the livestream community. The value of many e-sports players was not inferior to movie stars.
They could afford to hire one or two players but a team like theirs was too expensive for a smalltime variety show production team like theirs to hire.
Wander immediately said, “Uncle! I can do it for free!”
Ah Shui immediately chimed in, “Me too!”
Xiao Yang said coyly, “All I ask is to be fed…”
Li Jianyu was speechless.
‘As expected of you, Xiang Yi.’
‘All you did was whip up a feast, and you helped us save a seven-figure sum…’
‘Well, I just have to be called Uncle, what’s the big deal?’
‘I don’t mind being called Grandpa either!’
Li Jianyu smiled foolishly because a great opportunity had fallen right into his lap once again.
…
…
After the meal…
The youngsters were all full from stuffing themselves silly and were now sprawled sluggishly across the couch by the coffee table, like a bunch of dead fish.
Xiang Yi placed Xiao Naofu on the ground. She pointed at Xiang Yu and then at herself before asking, “Do you want to stay here with Brother Xiang Yu or come home with me?”
Xiang Yu was full of confidence.
He had spoiled Xiao Naofu to bits and gave it everything it wanted. He even let Xiao Naofu occupy his bed!
Hence, he was sure that Xiao Naofu would pick him!
In the next second…
Without even looking at him, Xiao Naofu happily leaped into Xiang Yi’s arms and hummed meekly.
Meow~ Meow~
—— “Silly woman! Hurry up and take me home~”
Xiang Yu was in disbelief.
‘What? How can that be? How is it possible?!’
‘Was all the love that Xiao Naofu has shown me in the past few days all fake?!’
The camera coincidentally gave him a close-up shot, and the netizens watching the livestream kept laughing incessantly.
—— [So love does disappear, right?]
—— [I’m sorry. Smog’s life is really tragic, but I really want to laugh.]
—— [Poor Smog, he’s finally going to find out how fake Xiao Naofu is.]
…
Carrying Xiao Naofu in her arms, Xiao Naofu was getting ready to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Xiang Yu suddenly called out to her to stop her. Looking at the kitten in her arms with agony in his eyes, he asked, “Fufu… Did I not do something well enough?”
Xiao Naofu blinked its blue, watery eyes and meowed again.
Meow~ Meow~
—— “Bye Brother, I’ll miss you!”
Xiang Yu glanced at it wistfully and bade it goodbye softly with reluctance, “Fufu, I’ll visit you often.”
Xiao Naofu turned its head away and burrowed itself in Xiang Yi’s embrace with a sinister smile.
—— “Miss you? Of course I won’t. Do I feel sad? No. Hehe, I was just pretending~”
