17: Zhou Zhou

"Sister is very nice. She's not the kind of person you're talking about, and she's also very young. Please don't speculate blindly." Xia Yang frowned as he looked at the bullet chat.

[Heh, I thought you were different. It turns out that now that you have a big sister, you're just as snobbish as the rest of them. Unfollowing.]

[So rich people really can do whatever they want. It's not like there weren't big bros or big sisters gifting you before, but you rejected them all.]

[It turns out you weren't noble; they just didn't gift enough. I used to think you were different from other Streamers, but now...]

[Heh!]

[Wait, is the person above me sick? Who doesn't know why Yang Yang rejected those people?]

[They immediately hinted that Yang Yang had to accompany them. Of course he'd refuse.]

[Sister Ying is different. Other than gifting, she just asks Yang Yang to dance or chat.]

[I was drawn here by the carnivals. Although I don't know what this Streamer's deal was before, for the sake of a rich lady's money, I'm willing to do anything.]

[Exactly. Life is so stressful nowadays, who would turn down money?]

[If someone gave me five hundred thousand at once, I'd even be willing to eat sh*t.]

Gao Ying saw this bullet chat, and her mischievous side was ignited. She clicked on the person's profile picture.

At first glance, it looked like the God of Wealth, but looking closer, there was a little figure sitting on the ground with a basin in front of them.

"I Am Cai Shens Follower" was his nickname.

["I Am Cai Shens Follower", start a stream and I'll fulfill your wish. But will you really eat sh*t?]

["Rich big sister, this is a 'smelly' bullet chat. I believe you're not that kind of person." "I Am Cai Shens Follower" immediately started flattering her, fearing she might actually gift him.]

[You're wrong. I happen to have exactly that kind of twisted sense of humor. As long as you stream, I'll immediately gift you 500,000—the amount you'll get after the platform's cut.]

[Wealth God, don't be a wuss. For that much money, just close your eyes and do it.]

[Exactly. It's just eating sh*t. Who didn't do that as a kid?]

[Eww, the person above definitely did it, otherwise they wouldn't say it so naturally.]

[Barf! I'm gagging just thinking about it. Wait, isn't this a dance stream? Why has the vibe changed?]

["Rich big sister, I was wrong. My mouth just ran off. I'll gift the Streamer a carnival, please spare me." As he spoke, "I Am Cai Shens Follower" gifted Xia Yang a carnival.]

"Thank you, 'I am the Wealth God'." Xia Yang couldn't stop smiling as he watched the bullet chat.

He could also tell that Sister was just teasing this person called Wealth God.

[Alright, I'm done teasing. Start your stream and I'll gift you. I don't go back on my word.]

The reason Gao Ying wanted Wealth God to start a stream for the gift was because Fugui asked her to.

He had looked up Wealth God's information online. This person was also a Streamer, and this was his alt account.

Wealth God's main account was called "god of wealth tells me to get rich overnight".

Half of the money he earned from streaming was sent to the Orphanage.

That's right, he was an orphan who grew up in the Orphanage, which was very old.

It started with a couple who saw a pitiful abandoned child. When they couldn't find the family at the police station, they took the child home to raise themselves.

For some reason, after they adopted the first child, more and more children started appearing at their doorstep.

Even those turned over to the police were eventually sent to the Orphanage.

The couple's determination to open an Orphanage came after they visited a child at another Orphanage and saw the child covered in bruises.

When they saw the bruises, they did confront the director, but were brushed off with the excuse that the child was just too naughty.

The couple tossed and turned all night after returning, finally deciding to open an Orphanage themselves.

After many applications and difficulties, they finally got the Orphanage running.

Although the Orphanage was open, the ongoing costs were too high, so they worked while taking care of the Orphanage.

Kind people donated, but as the number of children grew, the donations barely lasted a few days.

Some of the older children were sensible and would help the adults look after the younger ones.

Despite such difficult circumstances, the Orphanage persevered.

Now, the older children who had left the Orphanage would also send half of their salaries to the Orphanage's account once they started working.

Wealth God hesitated for a minute after seeing her bullet chat before switching to his main account.

Thinking of the Orphanage's current situation, he decided to go for it. If this rich lady really gifted him 500,000, he'd do anything.

[Rich big sister, this is my main account.]

[Okay, I'll follow you over.]

Gao Ying told Xia Yang on WeChat that she would be back in a bit.

[Okay, I'll wait obediently for Sister.]

Xia Yang looked at the message she sent and really wanted to tell her not to go.

But he had no right to say that; he wasn't anyone special to Sister.

Gao Ying arrived at Wealth God's stream and started gifting without a word.

She stopped once the total reached five hundred thousand.

"Thank you, rich big sister! I really didn't expect you to actually gift me this much.

Um... do you want me to send you a video? I'm afraid the stream might get banned."

At first, Gao Ying didn't realize what he was talking about.

When she heard "banned", she immediately messaged: [Don't. I don't want to be so disgusted I can't eat for days.]

[I see in the bullet chat that you're a good singer, so just sing a song.]

"Sure. Is there any song you'd like to hear, rich big sister?" Zhou Zhou felt a wave of relief when he saw her message.

He was truly afraid this big shot had some explosive, weird kink.

After all, rich people played harder than anyone; there was nothing they couldn't come up with.

[Then how about "a little happiness"?]

Gao Ying liked this song very much. Zhou Zhou's voice was somewhat lazy and casual, with a sense of nonchalant ease.

"Okay, this "a little happiness" is for Sister Ying."

"I hear raindrops falling on the green grass"

"I hear the school bell ringing in the distance"

"But I don't hear your voice"

"Earnestly calling my name"

..."

[I really love Wealth God's voice, boohoo.]

[The rich lady's song choice is great, and the Streamer's singing is beautiful.]

[Wealth God really hit the jackpot today. He dreams of getting rich every day, and now it's finally happened.]

[Five hundred thousand... I wouldn't even dare to dream of it.]

[This money won't stay in Wealth God's pocket for more than a night. He'll probably send it to the Orphanage right after the stream.]

Zhou Zhou's fans all knew that he grew up in the Orphanage.

He had shared his life story when he first started streaming, and some people would gift him because they knew his situation.

Zhou Zhou would also show his monthly donation receipts for the Orphanage to his fans.

While he was singing, Gao Ying gifted another 20 carnivals.

Many people saw the notification on the public screen and followed the link in.

Originally, Zhou Zhou's stream only had two thousand viewers, but because of the carnival rain, there were now over ten thousand, and the number was still growing.

"Thank you for the carnivals, rich big sister. Once I withdraw the money, I'll send it to the Orphanage and show everyone the receipt."

The money from today's gifts could help the Orphanage get through another period. It was truly wonderful.
