117: Chapter 117 Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose

"Right," Lin Wanwan said, as if she had suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Zhang Shan and said, "We should exchange some basic information, otherwise, if our families ask, we'll get caught in a lie.

I'll go first. I'm 24 this year, born in the Year of the Snake, and I just graduated without a job yet, though I do livestreaming on Douyin myself.

Well, it's just not very popular..."

"You're a streamer?"

When Zhang Shan heard Lin Wanwan say she was a streamer, he asked with some surprise.

"What? Do you look down on streamers?"

Seeing Zhang Shan's strong reaction, Lin Wanwan thought he had some prejudice against the profession.

"No, no, I was just curious. What's your livestreaming handle? If I have time, I can go over and boost your popularity."

He hadn't expected this girl to be a streamer—wasn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's den?

A smile immediately appeared on Zhang Shan's face.

Lin Wanwan suddenly felt a palpitation, as if she had been targeted by something.

However, she didn't think too much about it and said with a smile, "Haha, my livestreaming account is just called Lin Wanwan. It's just... not many people watch it, but I'm currently transitioning, so it should get better soon."

When Lin Wanwan spoke about her transition, her tone was full of confidence.

Zhang Shan noted down Lin Wanwan's account name, planning to check it out after he got back.

With the system, all of Lin Wanwan's information would have nowhere to hide.

Including...

After Lin Wanwan finished speaking, she stared at Zhang Shan, implying it was his turn.

The person who introduced them had only mentioned his name and age; she hadn't paid close attention to where he worked. Regardless of what he did, she didn't intend to date him anyway.

Right now, she only felt that Zhang Shan was different from the others, and she was being forced into a blind date by her family.

That was why she had been forced to come up with this clumsy method.

If she were to actually date the guy in front of her, she wouldn't be very willing either.

"Well, I'm 26 this year, born in the Year of the Rabbit, just resigned, and now I'm a writer. Yeah, I just sit at home and write novels.

As for hobbies, I usually go for a run in the morning, play some games, watch Animal World, and things like that..."

Zhang Shan's introduction was quite detailed. When Lin Wanwan heard him say he sat at home, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, so that's what being a writer means. Well, actually, I don't really have any hobbies either. I just play the piano and sing when I'm free, and sometimes I do some handmade flower arrangements."

And you call that having no hobbies?

"Alright, I've pretty much remembered it. So, is that settled?"

"Yeah, that's settled."

Afterward, the two chatted about their family situations, food preferences, and so on.

After adding each other on WeChat, Lin Wanwan left first.

Zhang Shan finished the coffee in front of him before standing up to pay the bill and walking out of the cafe.

The driver was already waiting at the entrance. After Zhang Shan got in the car, it drove steadily toward the villa.

There were people at home waiting for him to play Honor of Kings. This time, he decided to use the Monkey King in the jungle; he was quite fierce with the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

After getting another legendary kill, the afternoon had already arrived.

Today, Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang were both off. Too lazy to move, Zhang Shan could only choose to order takeout.

After finishing a sumptuous takeout feast, Zhang Shan went to the pool on the rooftop terrace, preparing to digest his food.

Watching the two people splashing in the pool, Zhang Shan turned the sun canopy to black.

Then, he dove into the pool in one go.

A green dragon entering the sea.

A tiger roaring, a dragon singing.

The sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly.

After swimming two laps, Zhang Shan returned to the shore and lay comfortably on a chair, taking out his newly bought phone to log into a new Douyin account.

The account 'Qingshan' had already reached level 75; it was time to use a brand-new alt account.

He would save the main account, Qingshan, for future Guild Competition matches.

In terms of fun, accounts at levels 30-40 or 50-something were more enjoyable.

With accounts at too high a level, usually, no one wants to play with you, and it's not easy to get a fight going.

Zhang Shan named this new account 'Brother Lan Shan', which had a similar ring to his previous name, Qingshan.

Well, at least that's what Zhang Shan thought.

In the future, when he made more alt accounts, he would name them things like Red Mountain, Yellow Mountain, Purple Mountain, and so on.

Collect all seven colored dragon balls and summon the dragon!

Come out...

Ahem, back to the main point.

Zhang Shan opened the search bar, typed in the three characters 'Lin Wanwan', and clicked search.

Immediately, a bunch of search entries appeared. He clicked on 'Users', and the top-ranked one was a livestreaming account called Lin Wanwan.

Looking at the profile picture, it was exactly the Lin Wanwan he was looking for.

"It's you, hehehe..."

After parting ways with Zhang Shan, Lin Wanwan went straight home.

No wonder her parents were worried; she finally managed to get out for a day, and after just one meeting, she went straight home...

A total homebody.

Staying holed up at home all day, no matter how pretty she was, she wouldn't find a partner.

It's not like a rich husband is going to fall from the sky, right?

When Lin Wanwan's mother saw her daughter return, she immediately put on a smiling face, walked over, and asked kindly, "My eldest child, how did the blind date go today?"

Lin Wanwan changed her shoes on her own, not responding to her mother's words.

Seeing her daughter's state, she definitely hadn't taken a liking to him.

The smile on Lin Wanwan's mother's face instantly vanished, and her attitude immediately turned cold.

"We don't know what kind of person you're looking for, but I thought this one today was pretty good.

Look at you, you're already not young anymore, just sticking around the house all day.

That lousy livestreaming of yours is better off not being done at all; it can't even earn back the electricity bill. You don't even know how to think about your father and me. When we get old, we won't even be able to help you take care of your children..."

Lin Wanwan's father couldn't watch anymore and quickly interjected, "Alright, say less. The child just got back."

Ignoring the look his wife was giving him, Lin Wanwan's father continued to ask, "Wanwan, what was wrong with today's guy? Was it his looks or something else..."

After changing her shoes, Lin Wanwan heard her father's question and replied unhurriedly, "This one today was pretty good. We even added each other on WeChat..."

Hearing that they added each other on WeChat, her mother immediately became happy again. "You added each other? Haha, tell me, why didn't you say so just now?"

"You didn't give me a chance to speak."

"Haha, that's Mom's fault. What does my eldest child want to eat? Let your father go make it for you."

Lin Wanwan's mother leaned in close to her, becoming kind again. "Since you think this one is pretty good, bring him home one day so your father and I can see him too..."

"Mom, who brings someone home right after meeting? We have to date for a while first."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't rush. Treat him well, and don't throw your spoiled young lady temper..."

"Got it, I'm going back to my room."

"Hey, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Not eating, I'm on a diet..."

"This child."

After returning to her room, Lin Wanwan organized her livestreaming script for the day and then started the stream.

When Zhang Shan entered the Livestream Room, Lin Wanwan was boasting to the fewer than 10 viewers in the room.

"Brothers, let me tell you, the streamer will definitely hook a big shot today. Let's wait and see."

Zhang Shan was curious when he heard Lin Wanwan's words. What kind of livestreaming style was this?

Then he looked at the title of the Livestream Room: Money-Grabbing Streamer, Plucking Feathers from a Goose!
