36: I can't do it.

After the group finished lunch, they went straight to the One Foot Sea Bar.

Under Wu Fan's financial offensive, Liu Tingting behaved exceptionally obediently and delicately.

This made the brothers itch with envy. Especially Dai Mao, who was completely unconvinced.

Why should all the beautiful women be snatched up by Wu Fan, that pig?

Last time it was Qian Ning, this time it was Liu Tingting—both impossibly beautiful women.

Sigh, this is too depressing.

He looked at Liu Tingting, liking her more and more the longer he looked.

His pair of rat eyes couldn't move away from Liu Tingting's large bosom.

They stared shiftily and lecherously, looking like he was about to cup them in his hands and lick them.

Wu Fan raised his hand and knocked a large chestnut on his forehead: "Leering like that, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Dai Mao jumped up in shock: "Ouch, that hurts so much. Brother Fan, you... you hit a little softer."

"You're too obvious. Be careful, or I'll gouge out your eyeballs." Wu Fan glared fiercely at him.

Dai Mao rubbed his forehead and chuckled dryly.

Liu Tingting was sitting in the middle of the stage, preparing to test-sing a song. After all, she would be performing on stage tonight, and needed to familiarize herself with the equipment and environment.

Fei Wei and Grass Chicken were assisting her nearby.

Wu Fan walked over and suggested: "For the singing tonight, we could temporarily put together a band. Doing a chorus would be lively, and the effect might be better."

Fei Wei said: "Are you joining?"

Wu Fan shrugged, saying carelessly: "As long as my brother says the word, I'll definitely go up there."

Dai Mao volunteered: "Fei Wei, you must include me too. I might look a little ugly, but I'm an expert at playing the guitar."

After he finished speaking, he showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled.

Liu Tingting ignored Wu Fan and the others' teasing and fooling around. She calmly placed her phone stand below the stage, preparing to start her TikTok live stream.

After everything was set up, she said: "A band is too noisy, I don't like it. Also, watch what you say. I've already started the TikTok live stream, and the fans in the room can hear everything."

Dai Mao walked up to Liu Tingting ingratiatingly, "Beauty, do you need accompaniment? I'll play the guitar accompaniment for you, okay?"

Liu Tingting flatly refused him. She explained that it would be troublesome if the fans in the live stream misunderstood.

But Dai Mao persisted, "I play the guitar exceptionally well. I can play any song, really."

Liu Tingting rolled her eyes and said: "Why are you so annoying?"

Dai Mao stuck out his tongue, and only then reluctantly stepped off the stage.

It seemed the idea of forming a band to perform together was dead.

Wu Fan pulled Fei Wei and Grass Chicken to sit in a corner relatively far from the stage, so their talking wouldn't disturb her live stream.

They smoked and watched Liu Tingting.

Dai Mao walked over with a strange expression, sat down, lit a cigarette, and took several deep drags.

Grass Chicken mocked him: "Liu Tingting isn't interested in you, she actually seems to dislike you. Stop being so self-absorbed and embarrassing our island people."

Dai Mao looked helpless and said: "How do you pursue a beauty?"

Wu Fan laughed heartily: "To pursue a beauty, you need to be bolder and willing to spend money. What good is it if you're stingy and just talk?"

Dai Mao nodded thoughtfully.

Fei Wei went and got some beer and snacks, then pulled out his phone and entered Liu Tingting's live stream.

"Everyone follow Liu Tingting. Those with money should contribute money, those without money should contribute presence. Help boost her live stream's popularity; liking the video works too."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mao excitedly opened TikTok and followed her, muttering to himself: "I can't believe she looks even better in person than on TikTok. It's truly incredible."

Wu Fan said: "My taste is pretty good, right? I've been following her for several years, always watching her live stream. Now I've finally met her in real life, haha."

Grass Chicken gave a thumbs up, "When it comes to picking up girls, I truly only respect Brother Fan. Do you still have contact with that local girl from last time?"

Wu Fan asked: "The tour guide Zhang Yingying?"

"That's right."

Wu Fan made a "shush" gesture: "She's a tour guide at my company, so she's practically a colleague. I can't talk carelessly about her. She's still an unmarried Young girl."

Grass Chicken nodded, drained the beer in his cup, acknowledging that he had spoken inappropriately.

At this moment, Liu Tingting, due to fan requests, picked up her guitar and began singing "Blue and White," a song originally sung by either Steve Chou or Xiao Gang.

March has passed, willow catkins drift down, lovers hurry by.

My love, unmoved by the wind.

Flipping through yesterday, the dusty memories still hold warmth.

Dazed and confused, it feels like another lifetime.

Regret cannot be spoken, my heart suddenly tightens.

Tightly holding the blue and white token, keeping the promise... "That sounds great, I think it surpasses the original singer." Dai Mao's face showed his lecherous expression again.

Wu Fan mocked him: "Stop drooling and hurry up and send gifts! How many times do I have to teach you?"

Dai Mao seemed to have made a huge decision: "Fine, I'll make an exception this one time and recharge a hundred yuan. This is the first time I've ever spent money on this!"

Wu Fan said disdainfully: "Pathetic."

Dai Mao didn't get the hint. After recharging the hundred, he started sending small hearts and kiss gifts.

Wu Fan thought Dai Mao was boring and far too petty.

He quietly recharged fifty thousand yuan. "Dai Mao, you're hopeless. Sending such small gifts won't move Liu Tingting's heart at all."

Dai Mao said unconvinced: "Wu Fan, if you have the guts, send some gifts for me to see? Besides the time you splurged on a guitar for Qian Ning, aren't you usually a stingy miser? Which of our brothers doesn't know that?"

Grass Chicken said: "Dai Mao is right, I second that."

Before the consumption cashback system arrived, Wu Fan was indeed very stingy.

That couldn't be helped. After paying the mortgage, the cigarette money, and Yao Yao's kindergarten tuition, there really wasn't much left. If he didn't save, it wouldn't be enough.

Fei Wei smoked quietly and didn't join the conversation. He knew Wu Fan's hometown property was demolished, and he had made a small fortune.

Wu Fan exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Dai Mao, watch the live stream carefully. Bao Fu Brother Yan is me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly sent ten Carnivals.

The moment the gift effects appeared, Dai Mao was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped. "What the heck? Wu Fan, is that really you?"

Wu Fan sent another ten Carnivals, saying smugly: "Dai Mao, you want to pursue Liu Tingting? If you had my kind of generosity, you might stand a chance. But you look too lecherous and ugly. In my opinion, you should give up now."

Dai Mao stared blankly at the gift effects, then looked at Wu Fan. "You really went for it. Don't spend all your cigarette money."

Wu Fan continued to provoke him: "I'm willing to sell everything I own just to win a beauty. If you had my determination, would you still fail to get a woman?"

It took Dai Mao a long time to respond: "I can't do that. If pursuing a beauty costs this much money, I might as well hire a prostitute."

Wu Fan looked at Fei Wei and Grass Chicken, and they all burst into laughter.
