126: Chapter 126 The four of them have a late-night chat in bed, and are scared out of their wits by a ghost story.
Four people huddled under the covers, with Shen Muyan clamoring to hear a ghost story.
Tang Luochuan: "Alright, alright, alright, I'll tell one."
Originally, Su Wantang and Jiang Jinyue didn't have much interest, but upon hearing that Tang Luochuan was actually going to tell one, they became intrigued.
The two put down their phones, squeezed together, and waited for the boy to speak.
"I'm going to tell you a story about... a mirror." Tang Luochuan's voice grew muffled, and to set the mood, he deliberately slowed down his speaking pace.
"There was a person who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was combing their hair in front of a mirror. The person in the mirror moved exactly like them; when he smiled, she smiled; when he blinked, she blinked. He felt bored and suddenly raised his hand to cover his own left eye — but guess what happened?"
Everyone under the covers held their breath.
Tang Luochuan lowered his voice: "The person in the mirror, however, slowly covered their right eye."
Su Wantang let out a soft "Ah" and shrank closer to Jiang Jinyue.
Shen Muyan, on the other hand, hugged Tang Luochuan tightly.
Only Jiang Jinyue was speechless: "The person in the mirror is supposed to be reversed, right?"
Tang Luochuan's voice was hoarse: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense..."
After hearing this, Jiang Jinyue quickly wrapped herself tighter in the quilt: "Stop trying to scare people, it's all fake."
Tang Luochuan ignored her and, gazing at the ceiling, continued: "That person was so scared he didn't sleep all night. The next day, he worked overtime until late at night and had to take the last elevator home. He was the only one in the elevator, and when it reached the third floor, the door suddenly opened. Someone was standing outside, took a look inside, shook their head, turned around, and walked away."
"He didn't pay attention at first, but the moment the elevator door closed, he felt a chill run through his entire body — that person wasn't waiting for the elevator at all; they were counting the number of people inside the elevator."
"Ah~~ I don't want to hear it anymore, I don't want to hear it... I want to hear something funny." Shen Muyan buried her head directly into the quilt and whined: "Tell me a joke... In the middle of the night, if this were really a novel, the author would be so wicked! Specifically trying to scare those night-owl readers."
"Tch..." Tang Luochuan turned over, hugged Su Wantang directly, and turned his back to Shen Muyan.
"Don't, Luochuan, turn back! I'm scared like this..." Shen Muyan was getting a little anxious.
Tang Luochuan, feeling mischievous, felt unsatisfied without teasing her properly, and then continued: "Muyan... do you feel crowded?"
"A little, turn over and hug me."
Su Wantang, however, said: "I think it's fine."
She must think it's fine, as she was currently hugging Tang Luochuan.
Jiang Jinyue, on the other side, didn't know if she hadn't heard clearly or just didn't care, and was squinting her eyes, preparing to sleep.
Tang Luochuan suddenly said: "Are there... four people in our bed??"
"Tang Luochuan!! I'm going to fight you!"
The three girls were all instantly bristled, and this night was destined to last very late.
The next day...
Tang Luochuan took the girls back to Shanghai by taxi.
They had originally booked tickets, but unfortunately, none of them could get up; the ten o'clock tickets were missed, and they slept until noon.
Just after returning to his large 700-plus square meter apartment, the three girls began preparing for the start of school tomorrow.
Many students had already returned to school, and everyone agreed to go out and have some fun during this last bit of time this afternoon.
"Luochuan, classmates are asking me to go out, are you coming?" Jiang Jinyue asked.
They were in the same class, so it would be appropriate to bring Tang Luochuan along.
Tang Luochuan glanced at the class group chat, where he had been playing dead.
Aside from Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming, he didn't bother with any of these other people.
"Not going."
"Alright then..." Jiang Jinyue didn't force him.
Seeing this, Shen Muyan and Su Wantang didn't extend their invitations either.
If he wouldn't even go with his own class, how could he join theirs? Shen Muyan was a grade ahead, and Su Wantang was from a different school altogether.
Tang Luochuan lay on the sofa, watching a female streamer in a live broadcast room, frantically tipping little hearts.
During this period, he had fallen in love with live streaming and had already spent a massive sum of 78 yuan.
Until he swiped to Meng Fanyi...
"What the f***, no way..." Tang Luochuan stared at the girl in the video, who was posturing and posing.
Just looking at that cleavage, that figure... it couldn't help but make Tang Luochuan exclaim: "Cousin Jianhua... you're a lucky man."
"Sigh... mustn't look, this is my cousin's girlfriend..." Tang Luochuan swiped up and switched to the next stream.
That was an extremely boring stream; he couldn't watch it at all, and a few seconds later, he swiped down to return to Meng Fanyi's stream.
"Just watching for a while to support my cousin's girlfriend's work." Tang Luochuan was uncharacteristically generous for once and threw a pair of sunglasses gift directly at her.
He had money, but he wasn't a sucker; he wouldn't be stingy about things that had value, but tipping on live streams? That was enough.
Meng Fanyi saw the sunglasses, pursed her lips, and smiled: "Thank you to 'Do one good deed a day, accumulate great virtue! Do two good deeds a day, accumulate even greater virtue' for the sunglasses."
Then she pointed to the top right corner of the screen, where there was a prompt:
Hot air balloon: A dance.
Sports car: Sexy dance.
Cruise ship: Add WeChat.
Rocket: VIP...
Carnival: Anything you want.
Tang Luochuan understood that this was her hinting for him to up the stakes, and honestly, he was quite interested.
Especially this 'Anything you want', what exactly does that mean??
However, he wouldn't up the stakes; cruise ships and above included WeChat, but add her? They had just deleted each other not long ago.
Wouldn't he be exposed if he added her?
"Doesn't Cousin Jianhua know?" Tang Luochuan thought to himself, glancing at the three girls beside him.
The three of them, right in front of him, undressed and changed into new outfits, preparing to go out with their classmates.
He turned off the phone volume, feeling a bit guilty, like a thief.
It wasn't like they didn't know he usually watched attractive streamers, but this was Meng Fanyi.
Especially since Su Wantang knew her, and their surface-level relationship was pretty good.
This was too awkward; he watched the stream while stealing glances at the three girls until they left.
Only then did he turn the volume back on; in the stream, some unknown user had tipped a sports car.
Meng Fanyi had already started dancing.
"Holy crap, that's intense. Sister-in-law is awesome!" Tang Luochuan exclaimed, thoroughly enjoying it.
...
At this moment, Meng Fanyi was also very happy; she had already received several sports cars today.
She had returned to Shanghai but wasn't in a rush to move in with Zhu Jianhua.
After all, she still had to live stream; she didn't have any other skills, she was just good-looking!
And dancing was easy to learn; it wasn't like street dance or folk dance... being seductive was enough.
These men were easy to fool; shake your chest, wiggle your butt, and the money would come.
It was just that some big spenders really needed to be maintained.
In a female streamer's room, unless they were female fans! As long as they were male fans, they weren't there for the talent.
From sixty or seventy down to eighteen or nineteen, they all just wanted to get into bed.
