Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

After Shen Xi said that, a lot of the contestants had an idea in mind already. After Shen Xi’s lesson ended, the contestants expressed their gratitude to him before they hurried back to prepare for tomorrow night’s stream.

With the help of the promotional posts and the first episode, many contestants gained a decent following for themselves.

Now was naturally the time to ensure the loyalty of those new fans.

When Qin Jiayan knew that it was going to be a stream, his brain went blank.

“A s-stream!”

He could not help but gasp.

At that moment, Qi Wu stood up. “It’s time to eat.”

Qin Jiayan quickly stood up and followed Qi Wu.

Qi Wu looked so composed that he could not help but express his concerns. “I’m just an amateur who doesn’t know anyone. I’ll drag you down.”

“It’s not important.”

She stopped and turned to look at Qin Jiayan with a serious expression. “The most important thing right now is to have lunch.”

Qin Jiayan was speechless.

He could not fathom the mindset of a big shot like Qi Wu.

However, he did not dare to disturb Qi Wu from her meal, so he silently followed her to the cafeteria.

They were among the first to enter the cafeteria, and the staff had just finished with the food.

One of the cafeteria staff members recognized Qi Wu and cheerfully greeted her. “Qi Wu, you’re here. I told you I’d see you at mealtime! Let’s see if today’s dishes suit your taste!”

“Okay.”

Qi Wu then demurely walked over.

Qin Jiayan was bewildered. Did all the cafeteria staff know Qi Wu?

It seemed the cafeteria staff member who spoke had never seen Qin Jiayan before. Surprised, he asked Qi Wu, “You’ve changed companions again?”

Qi Wu interjected with a touch of seriousness, “Kids these days never stick to regular meal times. It’s so bad.”

The cafeteria staff member heartily laughed. “You’re absolutely right. Your eating habits are exemplary!”

After Qi Wu had chosen her meal, the cafeteria staff member kindly looked at her as she walked away.

Then, he turned to Qin Jiayan, who seemed more reserved, and patted his shoulder while offering some encouraging words. “Who wouldn’t like her? Don’t look down on yourself.”

Qin Jiayan was taken aback by the unexpected support.

He stared blankly at the cafeteria staff member who was walking away. Then, he hurriedly caught up with Qi Wu.

He had no trouble finding her; she stood out in the crowd.

He sat down across from her.

Qin Jiayan watched as Qi Wu calmly and elegantly enjoyed her meal. Her movements were graceful, and her eyes held a serene charm.

When she looked up after finishing her meal, Qin Jiayan asked, “What are we going to livestream?”

“What are you good at?”

With a full stomach, Qi Wu’s eyes were narrowed in pleasure.

In response to her question, Qin Jiayan instinctively answered, “Gaming.”

However, as soon as the words left his mouth and he realized what he said, he frantically waved his hands and corrected himself, “N-No, I mean…

“Let’s play games then.”

Qi Wu calmly interrupted.

With a calm and gentle expression, she added, “I don’t know how to play though. Can you teach me?”

Her gaze made it impossible for Qin Jiayan to refuse.

“S-Sure,” he hesitantly replied. “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to stream games?”

“They don’t care.”

Qi Wu bluntly stated.

Qin Jiayan observed Qi Wu’s carefree attitude and felt like he was a diligent employee worried about his boss’ lazy attitude. The more he worried, the lazier his boss became.

Hence, he was determined to just go along with it.

“Alright. I’ll help you download the game first.”

Thus, the two of them spent the entire afternoon in a corner of the cafeteria while she learned the game.

When Qin Jiayan finally emerged from the satisfying gaming session, he noticed Qi Wu’s meaningful gaze.

“What’s wrong?” he nervously asked.

Qi Wu’s fingers rested on the phone screen as she commented, “You’re well-suited to this.”

It was only when he was engrossed in the game could Qi Wu witnessed the young man’s lively and spirited demeanor. The restraint and inferiority he had shown in the past seemed to have vanished, leaving behind a confident and determined individual.

“Thank you.”

There was a flash of sadness in Qin Jiayan’s eyes.

Had circumstances been different, he might have pursued this path long ago.

Unfortunately, it was not up to him.

Qi Wu didn’t say anything more.

She could shape the destiny of the world, but she could not directly intervene in their lives.

In the Xi family residence.

Jin Si idly watched his nephew and niece engage in their usual squabble.

Being twins, the two youngsters often clashed and refused to give in to each other. Fights were a regular occurrence.

Instead of stopping them, Jin Si watched with amusement.

If one of them lost, they might even receive a sharp comment from him.

At that moment, Lou Ying approached.

He leaned down and whispered in Jin Si’s ear, “Sir, the Tong family is investigating Miss Qi.”

Jin Si’s expression froze upon hearing that.

However, he did not react strongly and asked nonchalantly, “What’s their reason?”

“The Tong family’s daughter is participating in the same show…and they’re investigating Miss Qi as an act of revenge for bullying.”

As Lou Ying said that, his expression noticeably changed.

Of all the people they could have provoked, they had to go after Qi Wu.

She was a ghost from Yunu Bay!

“Oh? That bad?” Jin Si raised an eyebrow, finally showing some interest.

Lou Ying was at a loss for words.

Why did he sense a hint of pride in Jin Si’s tone?

“What should we do, sir?”

“Qi Wu still has her uses. We can’t allow the Tong family to get in the way.” Jin Si responded with hostility in his tone.

Lou Ying stared for a moment before finally nodding with a conflicted look on his face. “Yes.

He could not help but lament deep down, Even though Qi Wu had her uses, Jin Si had not allowed her to take any action. Not only did he permit the ghost to join the show, but he was also going to let her make her debut.

As for why Lou Ying knew that…

He was a dutiful subordinate and had his ways of gathering intelligence from various social media platforms. This was just a simple trick up his sleeves.

Not far away, the quarreling siblings observed Jin Si with curiosity. Xi Huanran grabbed her brother’s arm and ran over.

“Uncle, did you just say someone’s name?”

Jin Si looked down at her and coldly replied, “You misheard.”

“I did not!” The little girl angrily retorted. “I have very sharp ears!”

With a mischievous glint in her eye, she continued, “I know that you like the beautiful lady on TV!”

Jin Si was puzzled.

He understood the words she said but the sentence confused him..
