22: Chapter 22 Six: I feel like I'm completely worthless

Cao Mo naturally couldn't live at Badanmu's place, nor could he move in with Jiaqi; that was all just joking around.

Living alone was perfectly fine, and he had only just begun to experience the colorful world; how could Cao Mo possibly go live with someone? Wouldn't that just be asking for someone to tie him down?

However, that lunch definitely won over the hearts of the two women, raising their favorability toward him.

After all, what woman wouldn't like a man who is handsome, has good temperament, can Sing, can play instruments, and can cook?

After eating, the three of them rested for a while, and then Cao Mo asked the two women to accompany him to the mall to buy a few outfits.

Although he had clothes, Cao Mo also needed to buy some other styles, like suits.

Shoes were fine; Cao Mo had bought several pairs on the app, and they would arrive tomorrow.

As for who would clean up the mess on the dining table, Badanmu had already called the auntie who took care of her daily life.

...

4:00 PM.

The three of them were tired from shopping and were drinking milk tea.

Cao Mo looked at the two women sitting across from him, in a very good mood.

After half a day of spending time together, Cao Mo became increasingly familiar with Badanmu and Jiaqi.

At this moment, Cao Mo's phone V-Chat rang with a video call.

Cao Mo saw it was Tong Jingchen calling, so he immediately answered.

The phone screen flashed, and Tong Jingchen's face appeared on the screen; he had clearly just finished running and was wearing a facial mask.

"Hey! Brother Tong." Cao Mo spoke first.

"Where are you? Come Livestreaming with me for a while, then we'll grab dinner together," Tong Jingchen said.

"I'm at Badanmu's place," Cao Mo replied.

"What! You're at Badanmu's place? You've already hooked up with her! Not bad! Cao Mo." Tong Jingchen glanced at his Livestream Room and said, sounding surprised.

Yes, Tong Jingchen was Livestreaming; after all, this was his usual time to work out and Livestream.

The brothers in Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room heard this and started sending barrage comments:

"Damn! My Brother Mo is awesome! Quietly managed to get Badanmu?"

"I might have thought it was a script for the Livestream, but this secret date definitely has something going on."

"666, truly worthy of being our 798 Brother Yi."

"My Brother Mo had over 100k+ viewers all night, who can compete in 798? Even Zisheng can't compare."

"What's a Livestream romance? My Brother Mo only plays for real."

"My Brother Mo is going to surpass his master."

"It's over, my Brother Mo is going to move out too."

...

Cao Mo could tell from Tong Jingchen's eyes that he was Livestreaming; he knew without looking that the Livestream Room must have started stirring up trouble.

"Brother Tong, don't talk nonsense! What do you mean 'hooked up'? Badanmu and I are perfectly innocent, just hanging out as friends. Plus, Jiaqi is here too!"

As Cao Mo said this, he turned the phone to face Jiaqi.

Jiaqi immediately smiled and waved, saying: "Brother!"

"Damn! You beast, you even hooked up with Jiaqi? That's my sister!" Tong Jingchen said in his raspy voice, slightly smiling.

"Just friends, just friends!" Cao Mo corrected.

"I'll be back in a bit, heading straight to the company to film a video project," Cao Mo changed the subject.

"Alright! I'll head to the company after I take a shower, see you there," Tong Jingchen agreed.

"Yeah!"

Hanging up the phone, Cao Mo checked the time and said to the two women: "I need to head back; I have things to do, and I have to Livestream tonight."

"Okay! You go ahead! We'll sit here a while longer," Badanmu said.

"Bye!"

Cao Mo stood up and greeted the two.

Jiaqi smiled, squinting her eyes as she waved: "Bye!"

Badanmu nodded with a smile. She actually regretted letting Jiaqi come today.

It would have been great if it were just her and Cao Mo in their own little world. After Jiaqi arrived, she clearly felt she had to put on an act; she didn't dare say anything, unlike how they were before.

Furthermore, Badanmu noticed that Jiaqi seemed very interested in Cao Mo; her eyes barely left him. As a woman, she understood women; Jiaqi was clearly interested in Cao Mo.

Jiaqi looked down, drinking her milk tea, but her eyes were fixed on Cao Mo's retreating back, wondering what she was thinking.

...

5:10 PM.

Cao Mo arrived at the company by bike.

As soon as he walked in, Cao Mo saw Xiao Er.

"Yo! Brother Yi is here," Xiao Er greeted with a smile.

"Brother Er, don't joke around! Aren't you in charge of the bar? Why do you keep running to the company?" Cao Mo asked.

"The bar isn't open right now, so I'm here to hang out! When are you going to come to the bar to show some support?" Xiao Er replied.

"I'll have time. Is Brother Tong here yet?" Cao Mo asked.

"He's here, chatting with Boss Lei in the office!" Xiao Er said.

At this moment, Tong Jingchen and Lei Wenjing came out of the office together and saw Cao Mo.

Cao Mo said to Lei Wenjing: "Sister Lei, is the filming team free? I want to film a video so I can update my work tomorrow."

"When Brother Yi arrives, even if we're not free, we'll make time!" Lei Wenjing replied with a smile.

"Sister! Don't do that, are you buttering me up too?" Cao Mo replied helplessly.

"It's true! Haven't you seen your Livestream data from yesterday? Zisheng has been Livestreaming for so long and had such a long pre-heat for his Douyin debut, yet he's not as fierce as you," Lei Wenjing laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense! The young master was just banned on the first day of his debut, otherwise he would definitely have had over 100k+," Cao Mo countered.

"If he didn't reach it, he didn't reach it. Zisheng has been Livestreaming for so long and had such a long pre-heat, yet he's still not as good as you!" Lei Wenjing continued.

"Alright! Let's not talk about this. I need to keep the company staff focused; I'm going to go get styled," Cao Mo replied, speechless.

Tong Jingchen held his Livestream stand, smiling without saying anything.

Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room was also very lively at this time:

"Hahahaha!"

"Even Baby Lei calls him Brother Yi, it seems it's officially recognized."

"My Brother Mo was Singing on the street two days ago, and now he's 798 Brother Yi, awesome!"

"Last night was really fierce, a bunch of rich women, lots of high-level accounts."

"My Brother Mo's fan group must have tons of girls."

"798 Brother Yi is still riding a broken electric scooter, zero style."

"Baby Lei is stirring up trouble here!"

"Apart from Zisheng, calling him Brother Yi is definitely not an exaggeration; his fan base has already surpassed the old-timers."

...

Tong Jingchen spoke up at this time: "Cao Mo! Jiaqi messaged me saying you were cooking for them at Badanmu's house! Saying the food you made was super delicious, you beast!"

"Badanmu came to me originally," Cao Mo replied.

"Jiaqi praised you to the high heavens, saying the food you cooked was better than those famous big restaurants. When are you going to cook for us too?" Tong Jingchen said.

"Sure! When there's a chance, I'll cook a meal myself and invite all the brothers and sisters of 798," Cao Mo said.

"You are truly talented! Compared to you, I feel like I'm useless," Tong Jingchen said.

"Brother, how can you say that about yourself? Even though you aren't as handsome as me, not as tall as me, and not as talented as me, you are older than me!" Cao Mo replied with a smile.
