73: bring it on

Wu Fan thought for a moment and said, "How about 'Sailing Across the Ocean to See You'?"

Since he happened to live on an island, the song was quite fitting.

Tang Xiaorou immediately smiled and said, "Of course! I can sing while playing!"

She immediately extended her fair hands and began to play.

Her posture while playing the piano was very elegant, and her singing expression was also beautiful.

Unlike some people, who display many strange facial expressions just by playing the piano—which is quite ridiculous.

To put it nicely, it's dedication; to put it harshly, it's affectation and pretense.

Tang Xiaorou was completely different; her facial expressions were perfectly controlled, as beautiful as ever, and perhaps even more enchanting than usual, which was rare.

She was naturally gifted for stage performance.

Wu Fan immediately decided in his heart that Tang Xiaorou was definitely the best choice to be a resident singer at the One Foot Sea Bar.

During the intervals of her singing, Wu Fan did not stop sending gifts: Carnivals, Romantic Carriages, TikTok Airships, Endless Romance, Dream Castles, and others appeared in succession.

The entire screen of the live stream room was completely flooded by the gift effects. These gifts were indeed beautiful and looked very stunning.

During the break in her song, Tang Xiaorou saw so many gifts that her voice trembled slightly.

If she hadn't borrowed so much money online, she wouldn't have shown her face doing live streams just to earn this paltry sum.

Her family's financial situation was actually quite good, but she spent money too aggressively and loved pursuing luxury goods, which led to her running out of cash. Since she didn't dare ask her family, she started spending through online loans. As the interest snowballed, she became unable to make ends meet.

In the end, she could only take out more online loans, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and couldn't stop, having already accumulated a mountain of debt.

After the song finished, she happily stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Brother Yan, for the gifts, I'm so happy."

"This is the first time I've received so many beautiful gifts. Thank you, thank you very much."

As she bowed, her strapless top looked like it could barely contain her.

Wu Fan lit a cigarette and typed, "As long as you like it. I can give you any gift you want."

When the fans saw this, they couldn't remain calm:

"It's great to be rich, I'm extremely envious."

"Does Brother Yan mean gifts in real life too?"

"What do you think? If the streamer is smart, she should quickly add Brother Yan on wechat."

"That sounds dangerous, adding a stranger on wechat casually. Be careful not to get sold to northern Myanmar."

"Northern Myanmar? Hahaha, you really have an imagination."

"Brother Yan can spend so many gifts in the live stream; he must be a Local Tyrant. Shouldn't the streamer seize this opportunity?"

"Sending gifts online for no reason might be a way to make the streamer sell products."

"You're overthinking it. The streamer has so few followers; why would someone need her to sell products? Use your brain, okay?"

"Then why is Brother Yan sending so many gifts?"

"Are you stupid? Rich people send gifts purely for entertainment; he must be interested in the streamer."

"Why are you staying in the live stream room? Isn't it because you find the streamer sexy and beautiful?"

"Alright, alright, you're right."

Tang Xiaorou looked at the bullet screen comments, her pretty face slightly flushed.

She thought to herself, "I've been streaming for so long, and this is the first time I've met someone so generous. Should I really add him on wechat? If he really is a major Local Tyrant, maybe I can pay off my online loans?"

She acted decisively, sending a private message directly to Wu Fan, and included her wechat account number.

In the private message, she wrote, "Brother Yan, thank you very much for your kindness. This is my wechat number. Let's add each other on wechat. I hope you can come support me again during my next stream. Love you."

Wu Fan was looking at the bullet screen when he suddenly noticed a red dot in the private message section. He opened it and saw that it was a message like a confession from Tang Xiaorou.

He smiled knowingly, deliberately did not add her on wechat immediately, but returned to the live stream room and started a new round of gift-giving.

This time, he sent gifts totaling about 150,000 yuan before stopping.

This made Tang Xiaorou incredibly excited.

She screamed sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Yan, for the Carnival!"

"Thank you, Brother Yan, for the TikTok Airship!"

"Thank you..."

... She kept bowing in thanks. "Brother Yan, let me play a piece for you. Thank you so much, that's so many gifts."

She sat down and began to play the piano piece seriously.

Her posture was elegant and focused.

Her slender, pale fingertips lightly danced across the keys, as if having a silent conversation with the piano, or like a butterfly fluttering through flowers, light and beautiful.

The music that leaped forth was beautiful and intoxicating.

Wu Fan was actually stunned; Tang Xiaorou, displayed on the screen, was like a beautiful traditional Chinese painting.

Not until the piece ended did Tang Xiaorou breathe a sigh of relief and smile sweetly at the screen.

It was truly the kind of beauty that would make a sovereign neglect morning court—utterly captivating.

Wu Fan exhaled a puff of smoke, and only after sending another large wave of gifts did he go to the private message section, copy her wechat number, and send a friend request.

Tang Xiaorou instantly accepted: { Brother Yan, is your wechat name your real name? [Smiling face emoji] }

Wu Fan replied: { Absolutely genuine, my name is Wu Fan. }

Tang Xiaorou said: { If we have a chance to meet in the future, how should I address you? Should I call you Brother Yan or Brother Fan? }

Wu Fan chuckled: { It doesn't matter, whatever you prefer, either is fine with me. }

Tang Xiaorou asked: { Brother Fan, where are you from? }

Wu Fan replied: { I'm from Zhoushan City, Island City. Have you heard of it? }

Tang Xiaorou scratched her head and honestly said: { I've heard of Zhoushan, but I genuinely haven't heard of Island City. }

Wu Fan said: { Come visit next time you have a chance. We have the sea, fishing boats, harbors, beaches, reefs, and delicious seafood here. Where are you from? }

Tang Xiaorou exclaimed in surprise: { Wow, what a wonderful place! You make me want to come right now! I'm in Xi'an, and I've never even been to the seaside. I'm really looking forward to it. }

Wu Fan said: { Then come! Take a spontaneous trip! I really hope you can come because there's something I want to discuss with you. }

Tang Xiaorou was slightly surprised and asked: { What is it? You sound so serious, you're making me nervous. Haha. }

Wu Fan said: { Don't be nervous. It's just that since your piano playing and singing are so good, could you come be a resident singer at my friend's bar for a while? Of course, you can name your own salary; I will pay it. I can even prepay a portion to you if necessary. }

Tang Xiaorou looked at Wu Fan's message, feeling hesitant internally.

After all, they had only known each other for one day. Would it be dangerous to go over so rashly?

But we live in a society governed by law now, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right? Our country's public security should be considered the best in the world.

She thought about it and decided that if Wu Fan prepaid the money, then she would go.

Getting the money in hand was the key.

She organized her thoughts and said: { Brother Fan, how am I supposed to trust you? Even though you've sent me so many gifts, we still don't know each other, and I'm a little scared. }

Wu Fan directly transferred 10,000 yuan and said: { This is for travel expenses. Is that enough? }

{ That's more than enough, I even have extra. [Surprised face emoji] }

Wu Fan transferred another 50,000 yuan and said: { This is the prepayment for the resident singing gig. If your performance is successful, I will give you more money then, alright? Are you satisfied with this? }
