Chapter 4 The Wrong Paper
I went straight back to my room. I had no idea that the argument in Jiang Shuo's live stream had already reached a boiling point.
【What are you doing! Don't make our Lin Zhi sad!!】
【What do you mean this letter isn't for her! Scumbag!】
【Sisters, I said it from the start. This guy is obviously a scumbag!】
Jiang Shuo gave a cold laugh. 【Me, a scumbag? What the hell are you all babbling about? I just accidentally grabbed the wrong Confession Letter and put in...】
He stopped abruptly. Then he said impatiently, 【Anyway, what does it have to do with you?】
【Stop dodging the question. What exactly did you grab by mistake?】
【That's right! Scumbag! Speak clearly!】
Jiang Shuo's temple pulsed visibly whenever the word "scumbag" appeared on screen.
Jiang Shuo's face tightened. With visible irritation, he pulled the wrong sheet from the envelope and slapped it straight in front of the camera. 【Look at this clearly! Call me a scumbag again and I'll trace your IP to find you!】
The moment the live stream viewers saw the paper, an eerie silence fell for several seconds.
The sheet Jiang Shuo had stuffed in by mistake looked like it had been torn from a fancy diary.
The page was full of entries.
【August 5th. Met her at the Love House greeting. She only said four words to me the whole time. Why!! Does she dislike me? Is it because I look hard to approach? Or because of those online comments? But she smiled at me today.】
【August 5th date record. She didn't seem to want to talk to me and kept making bread the whole time.
Why! What's so great about bread? If she likes me I'll just buy the chef and the whole shop!
I only want to talk to her! I don't want to make bread!
But our hands touched today. That counts as holding hands, right? 】
...
Everyone knew exactly who "she" was.
A few comments slowly floated across the live stream.
【Bro, your mood swings are intense as hell every day?】
【Uh, this doesn't match the rich second-gen racer image at all.】
【Family, I can't take it. I'm logging off first.】
...
I had been chatting with my fans in my room when a sudden flood of new viewers poured into my screen.
【Coming over from next door to watch the pretty girl and calm down...】
【Next door... it's hard to explain...】
【Next door is truly difficult to rate...】
I was still confused when a knock sounded at the door. Jiang Shuo walked in with a strange look on his face.
He glanced at my live comments. His expression changed for a second.
He placed the Confession Letter on my table. I looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Shuo clenched his jaw. "I put the wrong paper in the Confession Letter envelope earlier. This is the real one for you."
I paused, then reached out and took it.
"By the way," Jiang Shuo added casually, "for tomorrow's team-up segment, we're still pairing together?"
The comments exploded at the right moment.
【Oh.】
【Ohhh.】
【Oh oh oh.】
Jiang Shuo looked like he wanted to burn the screen with his eyes.
But the next second I said apologetically, "Sorry. I already promised Chu Yanxu that I would team up with him tomorrow."
Jiang Shuo's body stiffened. Disbelief flashed across his face.
After a long moment he shrugged like it didn't matter. "Fine. I'll ask someone else then."
Jiang Shuo turned and walked out of my room. As he rounded the corner he crashed straight into the coffee table.
He cursed at it angrily, "Can't you watch where you're going?"
The audience watching through my camera fell silent: 【...】
