Chapter 380 Let Whole Wheat Eat Its Fill (Page 12)
Looking back now, Mu Zhirui rubbed her temples with a headache.
How could she be so easily swayed by Yu Yin and even become obsessed with her?
Sure enough, the old man was cunning and full of schemes. If you weren't careful, you would have fallen into his trap!
Yu Yin and Qi Ming are both good cooks, and they made an exceptionally lavish breakfast, including soft and sticky millet porridge, golden and crispy fried dumplings, her favorite boiled eggs, and even a small dish of refreshing cold vegetables.
Mu Zhirui didn't stand on ceremony and sat comfortably at the dining table, enjoying a delicious breakfast. She ate two bowls of porridge, and her mood improved considerably.
After the meal, the two men were quite perceptive. Seeing that Mu Zhirui was just leaning on the sofa scrolling through her phone and showed no intention of letting them stay, they tactfully said they would take their leave.
Qi Ming's studio is nearby, only a half-hour drive from Mu Zhirui's house. Before leaving, he specifically told her to call him anytime if anything happened, and he would be there in ten minutes.
Yu Yin, however, did not leave immediately after packing his things. Instead, he walked up to Mu Zhirui, leaned down to look at her, and said with a hint of teasing in his voice, "I have a business event here these few days and I'm staying at a nearby hotel. When is the baby coming back...?" He paused deliberately, his eyes carrying a meaningful look, "If you need anything, just send me a message. I'll be there whenever you call, faster than someone else."
Qi Ming, who had already reached the door and was about to change his shoes, turned around immediately upon hearing this, his tone urgent: "Me too! My studio is closer, so I can get there faster than him. If the baby needs me, I can be there in five minutes!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yin couldn't help but scoff. She glanced at Qi Ming with disdain in her eyes, but still reached out and patted Qi Ming's shoulder, saying with a smile, "Let's go. Don't try to take it from me here. I know what I'm doing." After saying that, she pulled Qi Ming away and closed the door for Mu Zhirui.
Mu Zhirui was left sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the closed door with a puzzled expression.
These two people didn't argue when they met last night, but they didn't talk much either. How come their relationship is so good after just one night?
They even walked together with their arms around each other's shoulders, looking very familiar with each other.
She couldn't help but recall the scene of Pei Yunchuan and Cui Zhiyi's first meeting. It was like a bolt from the blue. The two disliked each other from the moment they met, and almost started arguing after only a few words. Whether in real life or in the live broadcast room online, they wanted to outdo each other. Their jealous and competitive manner was just like that of two immature children.
But how come Yu Yin and Qi Ming are so different? Little did she know that last night, the moment Yu Yin and Qi Ming saw each other, they knew they were the same kind of people.
Neither of them are the type to lose their minds and fight tooth and nail for a woman.
Yu Yin likes Mu Zhirui; she likes her free spirit and her straightforwardness.
But he knew better what he wanted. Rather than fighting to the death with others, he preferred to coexist peacefully with Qi Ming. This way, he could stay by Mu Zhirui's side and avoid unnecessary trouble. Why not?
Qi Ming also likes Mu Zhirui.
A woman who is beautiful, capable, and wealthy is not someone you can easily meet.
He also knew that Mu Zhirui had more than one man by her side. Rather than foolishly competing, it would be better to cooperate well with Yu Yin. At least he could make Mu Zhirui remember him, which was better than being completely eliminated.
In fact, Mu Zhirui knew exactly what kind of people Yu Yin and Qi Ming were.
They liked her, perhaps genuinely, but more often than not, it was mixed with other things, such as her money and her status.
But she didn't care. Feelings aren't black and white. All she wanted was happiness in the moment. Whether it was genuine or not wasn't that important.
Some things don't need to be said explicitly; everyone understands. If things get boring later, and you feel it's no longer interesting, it's best to part ways amicably, without causing a huge scene or getting entangled with each other. Besides, she has to admit, she really likes smart people. Yu Yin and Qi Ming are smart enough to know what to do and what not to do, and they know how to make her happy. Being with people like that is worry-free and comfortable.
After clearing the table, Mu Zhirui leaned back on the sofa, idly scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't visited Baiye Voice's "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" hall in a long time, so she opened the app and logged into her account—"Spicy and Sour Peach."
As soon as I entered the hall, I heard a familiar male voice, filled with enthusiastic excitement: "Welcome, Spicy and Sour Peach! Ahhhhh Ruibao! You're finally back from your trip? Did you come here specifically to see that rascal? That scoundrel isn't here right now, I wonder where he's slacking off off to!"
The host of "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" is Han Xiao, who is an old friend of Mu Zhirui.
I still remember when she first started playing Baiye Voice Chat, Hanxiao practically kept her in the Shili Chunfeng Hall, recommending male models to her and explaining how to play. But unexpectedly, she later fell in love with another male model and became someone else's exclusive boss. Thinking about it now, it's really a sad story.
The warmth and hospitality shown to her by Shili Chunfeng has never changed. No matter how long she hasn't been there or whether she has spent any money, the people in the hall are always just as enthusiastic when they see her.
It is precisely because of this passion, and the outstanding skills of the male models in the hall, that Shili Chunfeng has been able to firmly hold the No.1 position in Baiye Voice, and even though there are more and more halls on the platform now, no one can shake their position.
Now, the minimum requirement for each location in Shili Chunfeng is 3.0. Almost every male model in the hall has his own fixed boss, making a fortune and living a very comfortable life.
Even so, in everyone's heart at Shili Chunfeng, Mu Zhirui will always be number one, and no one can replace her.
There was no way around it; she was not only generous, but also exceptionally protective of those in the Ten Miles of Spring Breeze group, and her strength was so formidable that it was beyond the reach of most.
A single donation from her can be equivalent to a month's worth of spending by other women. Who wouldn't cherish such a generous boss?
[Spicy and Sour Nectarine: Yeah, I'm back from my trip. It's fine since he wasn't here anyway, just dropping by. Oh, by the way, is there a new person in the living room?]
Mu Zhirui tapped her fingers on the screen and sent a comment.
“Yes, Ruibao, as you know, our hall is not what it used to be. Our reputation is growing. These newcomers all came from Douyin. Their voices are excellent, and they have quite a few talents! But right now, 27 and Xiaoyu are doing an interaction. It will be over in a few minutes. Please wait a moment. 27, are you ready? If you are, please press the buzzer. Don’t keep Ruibao waiting too long!” Han Xiao’s voice was still enthusiastic. While talking to Mu Zhirui, he did not forget to remind 27 next to him.
[F. Jiang Quan/Rap: Hahahaha, Han Xiao, you've gotten too cocky! How dare you make Rui Bao wait? Have you forgotten who the mother of our hall is? Be careful, Rui Bao might not include you when she goes live with a full mic later, leaving you hungry! (doge) (doge)]
Jiang Quan's voice carried a hint of teasing, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a chorus of agreement.
[F. Xiaoyu: Absolutely! (doge) If Ruibao doesn't give him the gift later, let's not give it to him either, let this audacious guy starve!]
Before Mu Zhirui could speak, the elders in the hall started teasing Han Xiao, and the public chat suddenly became lively.
Looking at these familiar IDs, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, so she joined in the fun.
[Spicy and Sour Nectarine: Yeah, Hanxiao, aren't you afraid I'll get angry and not send you any gifts later?]
"Haha, Ruibao, of course I know you won't be angry! We're like family, we've known each other since you first started using the app, don't I know you? You're the one who loves us the most!" Han Xiao quickly smiled and begged for forgiveness, her tone full of flattery, "Alright, alright, let's not waste Ruibao's time anymore, Mai Shuai 27, ask the girls on Mai properly, if you dare to be perfunctory, I'll beat you into a grandson! Shuai!"
"Okay, take the microphone! Han Xiao, you bastard, just wait and see how I deal with you!" 27 took the microphone, exchanged a few words with Han Xiao before starting to interact with the girls on the eight microphones.
There were still two interactions to finish, but Mu Zhirui wasn't in a hurry. She figured she'd have to wait a few more minutes, so she opened the gift section to see what new gifts the platform had updated since she'd been away.
She knew all too well the tricks of these voice-activated apps. To make money, they updated the gifts at an astonishing speed, releasing new gift icons every week, just to make it easier for male and female models to ask their bosses for new gifts and stimulate consumption.
Sure enough, this week's new gifts are the "Dreamy Series," with five tiers ranging from cheap to expensive: a "Magic Key" (10 yuan, 1000 gold coins) for 10 yuan, a "Magic Book" (5200 gold coins) for 52 yuan, a "Starry Rain" (9900 gold coins) for 99 yuan, a "Lucky Scepter" (1314 yuan, gold coins) for 1314 yuan, and a "Starry Throne" (5200 yuan, gold coins). In addition, there are several regular large gifts that she hasn't seen before, and the special effects should be pretty good.
Looking at these new gifts, Mu Zhirui felt a little curious and wanted to see how the special effects were.
She had so many gold coins in her account that she couldn't count them all, so she didn't hesitate and directly selected the whole wheat reward option.
With a tap of the finger, the relentless gift-giving mode begins.
"Spicy and sour nectarines rewarded with a whole wheat Magic Key (1000 gold coins) x1"
"Spicy and Sour Nectarine as a Reward: Whole Wheat Magic Book (5200 Gold Coins) x1"
"Spicy and sour nectarine rewarded with whole wheat Starry Rain (9900 gold coins) x1"
Gift effects exploded on the screen one after another: the silver key shimmered with light, stardust drifted out when the purple magic book was opened, and a shower of blue stars fell from the sky, making the entire hall interface exceptionally beautiful.
The chat exploded instantly, filled with messages of thanks to Ruibao.
[F. Hanxiao/rap: Thank you Ruibao for the donation! My goodness, Ruibao, you're so kind of you, spending so much for us right away! Oh my, you're spoiling us so much!]
[F. Jiang Quan/Rap: Thank you, Rui Bao! Did Rui Bao come here specifically to give us new icons? Ahhhh, as long as Rui Bao is here, we can eat our fill. Much better than those stingy bosses!]
[Love Xiao Quan: @F.Jiang Quan/Rap (doge) (doge) You can't say that! So, we gave you gifts before and you went hungry? We should have known better than to give you gifts!]
[F.27: Hahahaha, Sister Ai is right! Stop sending gifts to Jiang Quan, send them to me instead, I'm better at sweet-talking than him!]
[F. Jiang Quan/Rap: 27, shut up! If you keep trying to take it from me, I'll battle you in a rap battle after the interaction ends and make you cry!]
The public chat was as lively as during the New Year. Mu Zhirui looked at the noisy barrage and couldn't help but smile slightly, while her hands didn't stop moving.
Now that the atmosphere has been set up, it's time to buy the remaining two expensive gifts as well, and see just how good the special effects of the Starry Throne really are.
"Spicy and sour nectarines rewarded with whole wheat lucky wand (gold coins) x1"
"Spicy and sour nectarine reward: Whole Wheat Starry Throne (Gold Coins) x1"
As soon as the special effects of the Starry Throne appeared, the entire hall interface instantly changed—a vast and boundless cosmic background unfolded, with countless glimmers of light and stars intertwining to weave a magnificent galaxy. In the center of the galaxy, a girl wearing a dress with starry skirts stepped up a staircase forged from the galaxy, walking step by step until she reached the top and sat on the golden throne that symbolized power and status.
The girl's crimson eyes, filled with a queenly disdain, looked down at the countless tiny figures kneeling and kowtowing beneath the starry sky, as if offering their most devout loyalty to the queen. The special effect lasted for a full half minute before slowly fading away.
