32: A night for five
Later, Xu Zimo learned that because Jiang Yuwei was a little scared, Feng Fangfang and the other two chose to stay and keep her company in the house.
The four of them had such a good relationship, they should have stayed together... No, that's not right.
They should have stayed together.
It wouldn't be good to separate the four roommates.
"If you have time, you can come over more often to keep Weiwei company; I'm usually quite busy."
This is what Xu Zimo told them.
"This... wouldn't be very convenient, would it?"
Feng Fangfang's mouth showed hesitation, but her eyes were bright.
Who wouldn't want to live in a house like this?
Especially the night view; she had just taken no less than a hundred photos!
"What's inconvenient about it? The house is so big, you'll have a place to stay anyway when you come over."
Jiang Yuwei was also eager for her roommates to come and keep her company.
The house was very big, but living alone at night, it felt very empty.
Perhaps it was a lingering effect from watching horror movies before, she was quite afraid of the dark; even with lights on, she would be scared of the shadows outside the window.
She was even a little afraid to go to the bathroom alone.
Every time she went to the bathroom at night in the dorm, she would rush in and out, as if afraid something might crawl out of the drain.
The matter was thus settled.
Coupled with Xu Zimo's promise to treat them to a big meal if they came to keep Jiang Yuwei company, they agreed.
At night.
Jiang Yuwei suffered greatly.
However, the room's soundproofing was good, so no sounds escaped.
But, since she was staying with Xu Zimo in the master bedroom, the other three naturally knew what would happen in the room.
Feng Fangfang habitually streamed, so she stayed alone in one room, while Lin Zhuimiao and Jiang Youqi squeezed onto one bed.
Actually, it wasn't crowded.
It was just that Lin Zhuimiao was leaning very close, her girlish face flushed, and she asked Jiang Youqi, "Qiqi, you said Weiwei is so small, can she handle it?"
After all, Xu Zimo was 1.8 meters tall, and Jiang Yuwei, who was only 1.65 meters, seemed very petite next to him.
With the two of them together, Jiang Yuwei might be... "I... I don't know."
Jiang Youqi's face was also flushed, and for some reason, the way Xu Zimo had looked at her earlier resurfaced in her mind, and even now, she still felt a bit uncomfortable, her legs under the covers involuntarily intertwined.
She actually wanted to escape from there, but her roommates had all stayed, and she alone... didn't want to seem out of place.
Moreover, she cherished the friendship among her roommates.
"Hehe, if you ask me, Weiwei will definitely be..."
Lin Zhuimiao whispered into her ear, the two girls' faces looking exceptionally charming under the orange bedside lamp.
"I'm a little envious of Weiwei."
After calming down, Lin Zhuimiao once again expressed such a sentiment.
Xu Zimo's generosity towards Jiang Yuwei could no longer be described merely as 'willing to spend money'; this house, worth nearly ten million, was actually registered under Jiang Yuwei's name.
Such security brought peace of mind.
Moreover, with Jiang Yuwei's current life... it was likely that they would be people from two different worlds in the future.
Jiang Youqi fell silent, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the window.
Such a prosperous Xingcheng, yet there was no place for her to belong.
Her dream was to find a stable job after graduation, then rent a small house to live in, and live a quiet life like that; she would feel very happy.
But... her family wouldn't allow it.
The light in Jiang Youqi's eyes dimmed.
"Qiqi, you'll also find someone no worse than Weiwei's brother in the future."
Lin Zhuimiao thought so, after all, Jiang Youqi was the prettiest among them.
She glanced at her roommate's bulging chest, then at her own, and couldn't help but sigh: "Qiqi, what do you usually eat? Teach me."
"N-nothing much."
Jiang Youqi was a bit shy; she actually always felt it was a burden, especially since high school, the strange looks from her peers made her feel like an anomaly.
Because of this, she was very troubled, so she chose to bind them.
Although it was uncomfortable, at least the strange looks were much fewer.
But after going to university, she couldn't bind them as effectively, so she could only wear looser clothes as a cover-up.
As for the other half... did she have a choice?
Thinking of her family situation, she couldn't help but pull the covers tighter, as if this could increase her sense of security.
The two whispered until past two in the morning before falling asleep.
In another room, Feng Fangfang's live stream was still bleak, with little popularity.
This was almost the daily routine for over ninety percent of Little Streamers.
Previously, she could maintain her composure; after all, she was still a sophomore, earning three to four thousand yuan a month, which was much better than her classmates who relied on their family's living expenses.
But as her roommate Jiang Yuwei started streaming, she earned a year's income in just one month.
Such a disparity had a huge impact on Feng Fangfang as well.
Therefore, she agreed to meet a few so-called 'big brothers,' and the result... was simply a tragedy, even leaving her with a psychological shadow.
So much so that when Jiang Yuwei told her about the situation that night, she simply didn't believe that the so-called big brother would be willing to spend that much.
That's why she came up with that idea.
As a result... Xu Zimo not only clicked on the exhibition hall and the mysterious shop, but he also spent on all the 'Encountering All Phenomena'.
The next day, Jiang Yuwei even brought back a pile of luxury goods.
This had a huge impact on Feng Fangfang.
Therefore, she inexplicably sent her WeChat to Xu Zimo.
After going offline.
There were less than two thousand 'sound waves' in the backend, which amounted to only a few tens of yuan after commission.
Sigh ~
Feng Fangfang sighed.
Ever since Xu Zimo came to her live stream and gifted her, her old fans who used to spend a few tens of yuan every day had disappeared, and those who remained basically didn't spend.
The reason was self-evident.
People nowadays are very pragmatic!
Feng Fangfang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling night view outside, but she seemed a bit lost.
What should she do?
The next day.
When Xu Zimo woke up, Jiang Yuwei was no longer in bed beside him.
He went to the living room and saw the four of them busy in the kitchen.
They had actually bought ingredients and were cooking their own food.
Jiang Yuwei, Feng Fangfang, and the other two were helping, while Jiang Youqi had transformed into a chef, cooking dishes.
This scene was as beautiful as a painting.
"Brother, please sit down for a moment, it'll be ready soon."
Jiang Yuwei came over, pulled him to sit down, kissed him on the cheek, and then went back to help.
Xu Zimo had nothing to do, so he opened his system panel.
He hadn't done today's task yet.
"Task loading..."
"My name is Tu Lei, and I came to Lop Nur with friends for an adventure. I've been separated for a few days, and my friends haven't come to find me yet, which gives me a bad feeling."
"Last time I got a bottle of water, and I've been reusing it for the past few days; it's almost empty. Although I'm barely alive, if I don't have water and food, I'm afraid I won't last much longer."
"If anyone is willing to give me some water and food, I am willing to exchange it for ten thousand, no, one hundred thousand yuan!"
