Chapter 13
"Big sis, big sis!!!"
Zhao Lele, who was standing to the side, rubbed her eyes and said, "Am I, am I dreaming?"
"Brother Hao, are you there?"
Zhao Yuxin snapped back to her senses and quickly asked.
"I'm logging off!!!"
The continuous stream of comments slid by, but these words from "Beggar Ah Hao" stood out prominently, like the single moon among countless stars in the sky.
Just then, her younger sister, Zhao Lele, who was squatting nearby and fiddling with her phone, had her eyes light up. She secretly nudged her sister's thigh.
Zhao Yuxin came back to her senses, quickly said goodbye to her fans, and ended the stream. Her follower count, originally just a few hundred, had now grown to ten thousand.
The reason was quite simple. Even though she had been dazed and barely interactive during the PK battle, the eyes of a "whale" (a big spender) are sharp. The sheer number of gifts he sent proved she wasn't just another "beauty filter monster." Coupled with her simps constantly hyping up her status as the "campus belle," Zhao Yuxin had genuinely gone viral.
Zhao Lele was also exceptionally clever. During the PK, she immediately grabbed her sister's phone and sent a private message to Chen Jiahao.
"Brother Hao, can I add you on WeChat?"
Zhao Yuxin was usually the one being pursued. Normally proud and aloof, she couldn't afford to be coy now and naturally had to take the initiative.
Seeing the campus goddess be so proactive, Chen Jiahao, who was already gaining confidence, just sent his WeChat ID right over.
Zhao Lele added him instantly, but Chen Jiahao was busy sending gifts and only had time to accept the friend request after he was done.
This waiting period, though only two or three minutes, felt as agonizing as an entire year.
Even Zhao Yuxin, while still live, kept anxiously glancing down at the phone. It was the first time she had ever experienced the feeling of fear and uncertainty.
After going offline, she couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Hao, you logged off so early. Are you busy now?"
She checked the time; it was about seven o'clock.
"I'm hungry, thinking of getting something to eat."
Zhao Yuxin saw that he was also in Guangzhou. She hesitated for a moment, but her sister said, "Sis, what are you being so reserved for? This is the ultimate 'Number One' big brother."
Zhao Yuxin's eyes lit up. She gritted her teeth and immediately sent a message: "I haven't eaten either. How about I treat you?"
"Heh, meeting in person? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Chen Jiahao didn't know why, but he actually felt a bit guilty.
"I won't! In your eyes, Brother Hao, am I the kind of woman who's so vain and materialistic??"
Even as she typed these words, Zhao Yuxin felt a bit guilty herself.
Chen Jiahao scoffed when he read it. If I hadn't showered you with two million in gifts, you probably wouldn't even give me a second glance, he thought.
But now that things had come this far, Chen Jiahao couldn't help but feel his heart stir. After all, she was a stunning beauty.
"I'm not used to women treating me. Let me treat you instead!!!"
After sending the message, a thought suddenly struck Chen Jiahao. "Let's go to the Imperial Hotel!!"
"Okay, I'll get ready and head over right away."
"I'll head over now, should be about half an hour."
"I won't be late."
Putting down her phone, Zhao Yuxin immediately ran to her bedroom, picking out her prettiest dress and a matching purse.
Her sister, Zhao Lele, followed her in, giggling. "Sis, be honest. Have you already guessed who my future brother-in-law is?"
"I don't know!"
Zhao Yuxin frowned, her delicate brows furrowing as she packed her things. "I've thought hard about everyone I know, and I don't think I know anyone with 'Hao' in their name."
She mentally ran through all the simps and backup admirers at school, even her high school classmates and teachers, but she couldn't recall anyone who could be so generous...
To be able to casually spend two million on gifts, he must have a net worth of at least tens of millions, right? Even over a hundred million wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
Zhao Lele said with a laugh, "We'll find out the answer when we get there. This is so exciting!!"
Zhao Yuxin tapped her little head. "Stop being so nosy. You should head back to school soon. Your school is so strict, don't be late."
"Okay, sis, don't worry. I'll definitely get into Guangzhou University too in the future."
She called a ride-share for her sister to go home. This was the apartment Zhao Yuxin rented for streaming; her high-school sister lived at home or in the dorm, so they rarely saw each other.
Zhao Yuxin anxiously waited and then got into a ride-share car. Even in the car, she was breathing rapidly.
Her hands trembled, her eyes were glazed over, and her face was flushed with excitement...
She had linked her bank card and was pressing the "withdraw" button for the first time. At this moment, her heart was beating so hard it felt like it would explode.
A moment later, a notification appeared on her phone.
"Your XX Bank savings card has received a credit of 800,000.00 yuan. Your balance is 801,142.11 yuan!"
After the platform's cut and taxes, this was all that was left. Zhao Yuxin felt a pang of heartache, but she quickly became overjoyed again.
After all, this was the first time she had ever had so much money. She could buy whatever she wanted without having to scheme to string along those simps and backup admirers.
With that thought, Zhao Yuxin became even more eager to meet this "Number One" big brother.
Who was he? He must be a dashing young gentleman who secretly liked her and couldn't bear to see her being bullied, so he angrily sent so many gifts."
She began to imagine a beautiful love story: the story of a low-key, wealthy heir pursuing the goddess of his dreams.
He had to be young, because middle-aged, greasy men spend all their money at nightclubs and wouldn't be so generous.
The Imperial Hotel, being the best five-star hotel in the city, was naturally a money pit and a place of great prestige.
