After the initial daze, Lin Ye finally recognized the beautiful woman in front of him.
Although she had makeup on and had changed her clothes, her general appearance was quite similar to the girl who had gone to the restroom earlier.
Coupled with her routine, it was highly probable that she was the Female Streamer living here.
And it turned out his guess was correct.
“It’s like this, handsome, I’m the tenant of the second bedroom, and I’m a streamer. I had dinner with a local big shot earlier, and now he wants to pursue me, but I don’t like him. He somehow found my address and is now outside the complex,” the slender beauty explained quickly, afraid Lin Ye might misunderstand.
After listening to her explanation, a look of understanding appeared on Lin Ye’s face.
“So you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend to make him give up completely, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The slender beauty nodded repeatedly. “I don’t like him, and I can’t string him along, right?”
“Then why don’t you like him? Is he too ugly?” Lin Ye asked curiously.
“Being too ugly isn’t an issue; I don’t really care about looks. The problem is he has a wife, and he wants me to be his mistress. How could I agree to that?” The slender beauty said with a bitter smile. “Although I’m really short on money, I would never do something so immoral.”
“Huh? That’s going too far, isn’t it?” Lin Ye’s eyes widened.
“That’s right, I admit many Female Streamers might do something with their big shots for money, but I absolutely won’t. This time, I just want to make things clear with him, so I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”
“Don’t worry, this won’t affect you at all. You just need to show your face for a bit.”
As she spoke, the slender beauty’s eyes were full of pleading.
Seeing her like this, Lin Ye thought for a moment before finally nodding.
“Alright then, wait for me. I’ll go change my clothes.”
“Change clothes?” A hint of confusion appeared on the slender beauty’s face.
“I can’t just go down like this, can I? I can’t let you lose face.” Lin Ye smiled, pointing to his large shorts and flip-flops.
The next second, he turned and walked into the room, then closed the door.
When he came out again, he had already changed into the casual clothes Hu Die had bought for him.
He also styled his hair with hairspray.
When he came out of the room dressed, the slender beauty who had been waiting at his door immediately brightened up.
“I didn’t even notice how handsome you are just now.”
“Oh, by the way, my name is Qin Yuxue. What’s your name? Let’s get acquainted beforehand, or we might give ourselves away later.”
“My name is Lin Ye, Lin as in forest, Ye as in night. Qin Yuxue, what a poetic name.”
“Your name is also very nice,” Qin Yuxue said with a smile.
“Alright, no more commercial flattery. We can go down now and get this over with quickly.”
“Okay.” Qin Yuxue nodded.
Immediately, both of them left the apartment and took the elevator downstairs together.
Just as they were about to exit the complex, Qin Yuxue suddenly stopped.
Lin Ye, who was walking ahead, was stunned by her words.
“Strange? What’s strange?”
“Hmm… haven’t you ever been in a relationship?” Qin Yuxue asked in return.
“No.” Lin Ye shook his head decisively.
“No wonder then. Do you think real couples walk separately like us, with a huge distance between them?” Qin Yuxue chided.
“Uh…” Looking at Qin Yuxue, whom he had left far behind, Lin Ye quickly walked to her side.
However, Qin Yuxue still shook her head.
“No, no, you’re too far from me. I don’t carry electricity.”
“Get a little closer.”
Hearing this, Lin Ye walked another half-meter towards her, leaving about half a meter between them.
Seeing this, Qin Yuxue sighed slightly.
The next second, she unexpectedly linked her arm with Lin Ye’s, and then Lin Ye felt a soft, tender hand being slipped into his, with four fingers interweaving into his, tightly clasping his right hand.
The soft touch made him feel a momentary trance.
“Alright, this is more like it. Why are your fingers so stiff? You don’t need to grip so tightly, relax a little.”
“You seem really nervous. Have you never held a girl’s hand before?”
Under Qin Yuxue’s questioning gaze, Lin Ye, whose cheeks were flushed, nodded stiffly.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Yuxue let out a giggle.
“Then I’m quite lucky.”
“You’re more shy than I am right now, like a little wife. Take a deep breath, relax, or others will notice later.”
“Oh, oh.” Lin Ye replied mechanically, then took two deep breaths, slowly returning to his normal state.
To ease the awkwardness, he continued walking out while holding Qin Yuxue’s hand, and asked curiously:
“What do you usually stream?”
“Calligraphy, and painting, occasionally playing the zither,” Qin Yuxue replied, then looked at Lin Ye curiously.
“What do you do? Are you a student?”
“Yes, a student. I’m from Jinghai University of Science and Technology nearby, a freshman this year.”
“Wow! Jinghai University of Science and Technology, the admission score for that school is very high! Then you must be a top student.” Qin Yuxue said with an envious look. “I’m from Jinghai Normal University, just graduated this year.”
The two of them chatted idly, their relationship becoming more familiar, and the atmosphere less awkward.
Soon, they walked out of the complex arm in arm, holding hands.
Lin Ye was about to ask where the big shot pursuing Qin Yuxue was when he saw a luxury car parked across the road.
Beside the luxury car stood a Suit Man in his thirties, holding a bouquet of flowers.
The Suit Man was leaning against the luxury car, playing on his phone, and had not yet noticed Lin Ye and Qin Yuxue.
“Is that him?” Lin Ye pointed at the Suit Man.
“That’s him.” Qin Yuxue nodded.
“He looks quite respectable. And how dare he openly look for a mistress?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover. In this society, there are many outwardly refined scoundrels. He told me that his relationship with his wife had broken down, and although they weren’t divorced, they were already separated. Of course, that’s what he said; cheating men usually say that. Who knows what their family situation is like now?”
“I don’t want his wife to show up at my door with people one day, treating me like a mistress and beating me up. I wouldn’t even earn any money, just get beaten.”
“That’s true.” Lin Ye nodded. “Then let’s make it clear today and tell him to stop bothering you.”
“Hmm, I’ll go over and make it clear to him now. Let’s go.”
With that, Qin Yuxue continued to walk arm in arm with Lin Ye towards the other side of the road.
By the time she was close to the Suit Man, he finally noticed her presence.
A smile first appeared on his face, but it quickly vanished.
Because he saw Lin Ye beside Qin Yuxue.
Before he could speak, Qin Yuxue spoke first.
“Didn’t you not believe I had a boyfriend? I’ve brought my boyfriend to you now. Surely you believe it this time, right?”
“I’ve already made it clear on the phone; there’s no possibility between us. I love my boyfriend very much, and my boyfriend loves me very much too.”
“Also, all the gifts you gave me will be returned to you. Please don’t harass me again in the future, or I’m afraid my boyfriend will get jealous.”
After speaking, Qin Yuxue leaned sweetly on Lin Ye’s shoulder, while her left hand didn’t forget to tug on Lin Ye’s arm, signaling him to put his arm around her.
Lin Ye took a while to understand her meaning, and immediately reached out his right hand to embrace Qin Yuxue’s slender waist.
Their sweet appearance directly infuriated the Suit Man, contorting his face and making his fists clench with a grinding sound.
But soon, he seemed to think of something, and the anger on his face disappeared.
“Xiaoxue, I know you’re lying to me. This person can’t possibly be your boyfriend. He’s just someone you found to get rid of me.”
“And even if you really have a boyfriend, so what? What he can give you, I can give. What he can’t give you, I can also give.”
“As long as you’re willing to be with me, you’ll never have to live in this kind of shabby place again. I’ll spend money and resources to make you a top streamer. I can let you live the life you’ve always dreamed of, things he can’t give you.”
Hearing the Suit Man’s words, Qin Yuxue was about to retort when Lin Ye gently patted her back, then took a step forward.
“Xiaoxue’s future is enough with me. She doesn’t need anything from you. The life she dreams of is every day spent with me.”
“And you said something wrong just now. There are some things I can give, and you can’t. If I’m not mistaken, you’re at least in your late thirties, while I’m not even 20 this year. I heard that men seem to not be as capable after 25. I can do it seven times a night, can you?”
As soon as Lin Ye said this, Qin Yuxue, who was protected behind him, first froze, then her cheeks turned so red they looked like they would drip blood.
The Suit Man also blushed upon hearing this, but he wasn’t shy; he was furious.
And Lin Ye’s next sentence made him even angrier.
“Lies don’t hurt people; the truth is a sharp knife. See, you’re agitated; I must have hit the mark. Uncle, go back and condition your body before pursuing girls.”
“You!” The Suit Man almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Enraged to the extreme, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
However, as soon as he threw a punch, Lin Ye gripped his fist with one hand.
Under the enhancement of Magician's Hand, his grip strength was now hundreds of pounds. He only exerted a slight force, and the Suit Man was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out.
“Uncle, it seems you’re really weak,” Lin Ye said with a slight smirk.
“Also, your car seems to be rolling downhill.”
Hearing this, the Suit Man instinctively looked back.
With just one glance, he saw that his car, parked by the roadside, had started on its own and was rolling towards the main road.
Soon after, there was a bang.
A passing garbage truck just happened to crash into it, and as the garbage truck overturned, a full load of garbage spilled onto his luxury car.
This sudden scene completely broke the Suit Man’s composure.
“Uncle, hurry and check on your car.”
“Oh, by the way, your car isn’t rented, is it? If it is, that would be troublesome.”
When Lin Ye quietly uttered these words from the side, the Suit Man immediately broke into a cold sweat, no longer bothering with Lin Ye and Qin Yuxue, and stumbled towards his luxury car.
