Chapter 97

Chapter 97

A little while later, a tall, long-legged, ridiculously handsome guy appeared in front of Qiao Yu.

The bastard hadn’t taken the elevator down. He’d used the stairs.

And somehow, he made walking down a few steps look like a god descending to earth. No matter how you looked at him, he was asking to get punched.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing wasn’t that punchable aura of his, but… that face.

Well, well. The male lead from The Legend of the White Snake.

“Get me a towel.”

Qiao Yu resisted the urge to slap the towel across his face and said in a low voice, “Ninety-nine yuan.”

Chi Shang glanced at the price tag in surprise. After confirming that it really was that outrageously expensive, he scanned the code and paid.

Then he took the towel, saw the line on the packaging that read Recommended Retail Price: 9.9 yuan, and fell into deep thought.

“Are you sure this really sells for ninety-nine?”

Qiao Yu impatiently pointed at the price list on the nurses’ station. “…I just sell it for whatever they wrote.”

Fine. Whatever!

Chi Shang didn’t have the energy right now to haggle over prices with this “ghost.”

His memory after entering the psychological counseling room was completely blank. And when he woke up, he discovered a bit of sticky residue left on his stomach. It looked like… ultrasound gel?

Once that suspicion occurred to Chi Shang, the bad feeling in his gut only grew stronger.

Shouldn’t a normal hospital prescribe treatment according to the illness?

Here, no matter what disease you had, everyone took the same medicine and underwent the same tests. No matter how he looked at it, this place was bizarre!

The more he thought about it, the more urgent it felt. Chi Shang took the towel and turned back toward the sixth floor, planning to take a shower first, then go out and scout around while his body could still hold up.

Qiao Yu had only just sent Chi Shang off when Fan Jianqiang came over with two men and one woman.

Qiao Yu had discovered something: this place really was lively at night.

The moment Fan Jianqiang saw him, he rushed over, staring at him in excitement. “Boss, how did you become a nurse again? I was looking for you forever!”

“Why were you looking for me?” Qiao Yu looked utterly confused. “I’m working as a nurse because people need ambition. If there’s an eighty-thousand-yuan salary, why would I work myself to death for sixty thousand… Wait, can I work two jobs?”

As if he had only just realized this, Qiao Yu looked at the dumbfounded Fan Jianqiang, slapped his own forehead hard, and said with a face full of regret, “I could totally be a nurse at night and work as a cleaner during the day, right? Then wouldn’t I be able to make one hundred and forty thousand?”

-…The streamer’s ambition is truly on another level.

-Other streamers are diligently collecting clues and actively trying to escape. Not him. He’s here to get a job at the hospital.

“No, Boss, wait.” Fan Jianqiang quickly raised a hand and waved it in front of Qiao Yu’s eyes.

Qiao Yu’s motion of taking out his phone was interrupted. He looked at Fan Jianqiang in confusion. “Hm? Why are you people still here?”

The four of them: “…”

The other three looked at Fan Jianqiang with conflicted expressions.

This guy seemed a little unreliable… Are you sure he’s really some big shot?

Fan Jianqiang was deeply grateful to Qiao Yu for saving his life yesterday, so naturally, he wouldn’t tear down Qiao Yu’s image. He could only work hard to drag the conversation back on track. “Boss, these are my friends. Let me introduce them. This female streamer goes by the ID Hua Mulan. The fair-skinned guy beside her is her boyfriend, Hua Buwan. And this one…”

“Huabei Buhuan?” Qiao Yu was too quick with his mouth and instinctively finished the sentence.

Hua Mulan, Hua Buwan, Huabei Buhuan.

Pretty neat.

The tall, thin guy pressed his lips together speechlessly. “No. My name is Fuck You.”

Great. Huabei Buhuan would’ve been better.

Qiao Yu gave him a thumbs-up. “Not bad. I can tell at a glance from that ID that you were raised very well.”

Everyone: “…”

This big shot certainly knew how to be passive-aggressive.

“So, what do you need?” Qiao Yu propped his chin up with one hand, looking rather uninterested.

He couldn’t help it. He was in a hurry to work two jobs.

Fan Jianqiang quickly pulled the only girl, Hua Mulan, to his side, then pointed at the needle mark on her arm and said, “After she woke up from her nap today, there was an extra needle mark on her arm.”

Qiao Yu looked at the female streamer and found that she was actually quite pretty.
And Qiao Yu had just as little temper when it came to good-looking people, so he followed up naturally, “Needle marks? Is she the only one who has them?”

Hua Buwan nodded. “Hua Mulan is timid. She got really scared after she found them, so we wanted to ask if you knew what was going on.”

Unfortunately, Qiao Yu didn’t know either.

“How about this? Let me take a look at the needle marks on her arm first.” Qiao Yu held out his hand.

Before the girl could place her hand in his, his wrist was grabbed and pulled aside. A familiar voice sounded by his ear. “You can’t tell anything just by looking at needle marks. What, no matter whether they’re human or ghost, you still have to touch their hand a couple times first?”

The four streamers froze when they saw who had arrived.

Of course, Shang Yan really did have the looks to make that happen.

Qiao Yu slowly tilted his head up to look at him. “Why aren’t you resting properly? What are you doing down here?”

Shang Yan lowered his head. His cool, distant eyes only gained a hint of warmth when they met Qiao Yu’s gaze. “If you’re this good at shifting the blame, why aren’t you out farming?”

Who exactly was shifting the blame here??

Before Qiao Yu could retort, Shang Yan suddenly reached out and put an arm around his shoulders. Narrowing his eyes, he said to the four of them, “Do you need anything else?”

Fan Jianqiang stared straight at Shang Yan’s face and shook his head like an idiot.

“Then why aren’t you leaving? Are you lightbulbs? Do you have to stand here and shine?”

Everyone: “……”

After that triple-question combo, they all realized this man’s relationship with the big shot was anything but ordinary, and hurried off in a daze.

Before leaving, Fan Jianqiang, Fuck You, and the young couple Hua Mulan and Hua Buwan all stared at Shang Yan’s face with great reluctance, their eyes full of awe and obsession.

Unfortunately, the person in question had no self-awareness at all. He was busy twirling the pale-yellow ends of Qiao Yu’s hair at the nape of his neck, making Qiao Yu shrink his neck from the tickle.

Qiao Yu had always known exactly how eye-catching this man’s face was, but every time he saw it, he still got annoyed all over again.

And since Qiao Yu had never been the type to swallow his grievances and suffer in silence, he lifted his foot and stomped right on Shang Yan’s newly bought Air Jordans.

Shang Yan was stunned. “What was that for?”

Qiao Yu shrugged his shoulder and shook off that annoying paw of his, then gave a sarcastic little scoff. “Remember to cover your face when you go out from now on.”

And then… this bastard actually had the nerve to smile??

“Are you jealous?”

Qiao Yu nodded. “Vinegar softens blood vessels and is good for your health. Everyone who tries it gives it rave reviews. Do you need something? If not, get lost. Don’t interfere with me making money.”

Shang Yan didn’t leave. He remained standing in front of Qiao Yu, looking like he wanted to say something but was holding back.

Qiao Yu frowned. “Why are you still standing there? Do you have a problem?”

“…Yes. I want you to do me.”

Qiao Yu was speechless. “Can you have even the slightest shame?”

Only then did Shang Yan return to normal in a second. “Fine, serious talk. I’ll watch things for you for a while. Do you want to go upstairs and take a shower?”

To be honest, Qiao Yu was tempted.

If someone was watching the counter for him, they probably wouldn’t dock his pay… right?

And he hadn’t even showered yesterday. Maybe he could take a quick one?

“Then I’m leaving it to you. If someone comes to buy something, sell it at the marked price.” Qiao Yu shoved Shang Yan behind the counter, then turned and dashed into the elevator.

-Ooooh, the little beauty is going to take a bath.

-Even if the Live Stream Room has mosaic censoring, seeing only glimpses makes it even better~

-I hate pretty boys like this the most. Fine, he won’t let me kiss him, but he won’t even give me his contact info.

-Brothers, you’ve been watching him for so long and he still isn’t yours. But if you read for an hour, knowledge will be yours. We must strive for self-improvement. Listen to your bro’s advice and all go read properly. Leave me here alone to watch slowly on your behalf.

-The guy upstairs really knows how to calculate.

-Stop arguing. He’s about to take it off, he’s about to take it off…

-My excited heart, my trembling hands!

Bzzzt, bzz, bzzzt…

The Live Stream Room suddenly fell into an eerie black screen again.

-??

-Fuck!

-So stingy…..
