After Marrying The Villain, I Became PopularCh39 - He lost again??

“Really?” Fu Ling questioned with a hint of disbelief. He poked Su Tang’s eyes with his finger. “Crying like this just for a movie?”

Su Tang’s voice was meek as he replied, “It’s all true. What would I gain from lying to you?” sSiGvY

“That’s fair,” Fu Ling chuckled, trying to cheer up Su Tang. “I asked Shen Xing to get two pancakes, and when he came back, I will share one with you.”

Su Tang finally cracked a smile and placed his hand on Fu Ling’s shoulder. “That’s nice,” he said.

Then he turned to Xia Wan and said, “Wanwan let’s share half.”

“I’ve already eaten,” Xia Wan replied with a smile while setting up the easel. “You guys go ahead and enjoy.” Qourgq

Xia Wan was not as easily fooled as Fu Ling. If Su Tang had been picked up by Wen Yunzhi and Xue Wenxuan last night after they left the hospital.

Then his eyes.

Xia Wan guessed that Su Tang must have learned about Xia Chengzhang’s condition. Su Tang probably used the movie excuse to avoid bringing up anything that might make him sad. Xia Wan felt a surge of emotion in his heart. At this moment, it didn’t matter how good the pancake and fruit were; he was willing to give it all to Su Tang.

“It is unusual,” Fu Ling asked, a bit surprised. “You’re usually particular about what you eat.”

The dormitory door swung open from the outside, and Shen Xing walked in with a bag in his hand. He handed the bag to Fu Ling and said, “Yours.”

“Thank you,” Fu Ling said, accepting the bag. However, he soon noticed something amiss.

“Xing… Shen Xing,” Fu Ling said suspiciously as he took out a ham from the bag. “I don’t remember buying ham.”

But then he chuckled and added, “Well, it’s quite a coincidence; this is my favorite. I will share it with you” 1ydkZ9

“No need,” Shen Xing replied as he returned to his seat, not bothering to lift his eyelids. “I already ate, and it’s a waste to throw it away.”

“Oh,” Fu Ling responded softly, his gaze shifting briefly toward Su Tang.

“If he gave it to you, just eat it,” Su Tang advised. “Do you think the trash will pay him if he throws it away?”

“True,” Fu Ling quickly agreed. He lowered his head, tore the sausage casing, took a bite, and simultaneously retrieved a pancake and some fruit from the bag. He mumbled a “Thank you” to Shen Xing with his mouth full. YMs1ux

Shen Xing had just turned on the computer, but when he heard this, he turned to look. He saw Fu Ling enjoying the sausage while handing a pancake and fruit to Su Tang.

The sausage wobbled in his mouth, looking quite delicate. Su Tang, who was shorter, opened his mouth and took a bite from the other end.

Shen Xing pursed his lips, unconsciously raised his hand, and rubbed his temples.

“It’s delicious,” Su Tang commented after taking another bite of the pancake. He couldn’t help but mutter softly, “Wow, Ling Ling you’re rich now. You can afford two pancakes, fruit, and even two eggs.” 69DNpL

Fu Ling crunched on the crispy fruit and mumbled, “It has one egg.”

Su Tang couldn’t believe it and exclaimed, “Shen Er, is this just one egg or two eggs?”

“One,” Shen Xing replied.

“How can one be so thick?” Su Tang muttered, looking puzzled. Then, he suddenly turned to Shen Xing and asked, “Shen Xing, how thick can one be?” syMDHP

Normally, Shen Xing wouldn’t bother with such a mundane question, but today he unexpectedly responded, “Today, the vendor’s daughter was helping out. She’s not used to it, and the pies turned out thicker.”

“Oh,” Fu Ling nodded in understanding while continuing to eat.

Su Tang’s eyes were swollen, and he first glanced at Fu Ling, then at Shen Xing, his brows furrowing in confusion. Then, his gaze drifted to Xia Wan.

Xia Wan has really dark and silky hair, and when he squints, his long eyelashes look like tiny fans on his eyes, especially the edges, which look extra gentle when they droop a bit. tfLEec

Xia Wan did bear a resemblance to Wen Yunzhi.

There wouldn’t be many opportunities to collect toenail samples. He felt a twinge of regret before shifting his gaze to Xia Wan’s hands.

Seeing Su Tang staring intently at him, Xia Wan didn’t find it amusing. He asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something on me?”

“Really,” Fu Ling replied swiftly. “Two dark circles.” ZNszpR

Xia Wan sighed, feeling a bit troubled as he mentioned the dark circles. “What should I do? I have a live broadcast at noon.”

“I have an eye mask,” Fu Ling offered. “Would you like to give it a try?”

Su Tang chimed in, “Can an eye mask work so quickly? Wait, I’ll go out and buy some concealer, then you can cover it up.”

“You’re helping others cover up?” Fu Ling couldn’t help but laugh. “You should take care of your own eyes first.” JPUQdv

“What’s wrong with helping?” Su Tang retorted. “Do you have a problem with that?”

Ignoring Su Tang’s remark, Fu Ling stood up and said, “Wait for me. I’ll go to the neighboring dorm and borrow a couple of drops of concealer.”

Before Su Tang and Xia Wan could respond, Fu Ling hurriedly left.

After a moment of silence, Su Tang hesitantly asked, “Do you think this will damage our dorm’s image? Us needing to ‘borrow’ concealer, of all things?” QyWbBX

Just as he finished speaking, Fu Ling rushed back in. He held a small puff with some powdery liquid in his palm and urged, “Hurry, it’ll dry up soon.”

Su Tang set aside his complaints and quickly stood up. He smoothed the concealer with his fingertips and gently patted it under Xia Wan’s eyes.

He applied just the right amount, and the concealer effectively masked Xia Wan’s dark circles.

At noon, after classes, Xia Wan returned to the dormitory, prepared his lunch, and started his live broadcast. AbdWre

His fans had been eagerly awaiting his return, and as soon as he went live, the barrage of comments flooded the screen. The number of viewers in the top right corner of the live broadcast room was rapidly increasing, doubling in no time.

[The younger brother is finally here.]

[Ah ah ah, I missed my brother.]

[Come here to have lunch with my brother.] FHPwoL

[I miss you!]

[I miss you…]

[I miss you +1008]

As Xia Wan’s live broadcast continued, Wen Yunzhi entered the room. The smile on Xia Wan’s face when he broadcast on the screen was warm and sincere, reflecting the effort he had put into these past days. It was clear that every time she saw Xia Wan, every time she watched his live broadcast, he brought relaxation and happiness to others. QTpLZ3

Even in the hospital ward last night, he hadn’t shown a single moment of worry.

Perhaps it was this cheerful and positive attitude that allowed Xia Chengzhang to remain so optimistic and unafraid in the face of illness.

Wen Yunzhi gently traced her fingertips over Xia Wan’s face on the screen, lost in thought. If one day Xia Wan were to learn the truth, would he still be able to maintain such happiness?

“Mom,” Wen Yunzhi was startled when she heard Xue Wenxuan’s voice coming from the door. iwhvak

“What are you looking at? You seem so happy,” Xue Wenxuan said, his voice filled with concern.

Due to the events of yesterday, Wen Yunzhi wasn’t in a good state of mind today, so she hadn’t gone to the company.

Xue Wenxuan, feeling uneasy, had returned home after finishing work at noon.

“I’m watching Wanwan’s live broadcast,” Wen Yunzhi replied, then suggested, “Let’s have lunch with Wanwan as well.” qgErO

“Sure,” Xue Wenxuan agreed. He washed his hands and joined Wen Yunzhi, having lunch together while watching the live broadcast.

After a while of watching, Wen Yunzhi suddenly brought up a concern, saying, “Xia Chengzhang has this illness, and I’m not sure if the money will be enough for Wanwan.”

“Have some faith,” Xue Wenxuan reassured her. “Plus, there’s Huo Yu.”

“You’re still young and don’t fully understand,” Wen Yunzhi explained. “Wanwan just married Huo Yu not long ago. If he starts relying too much on other people’s money, he might lose his standing in the family in the future.” yBo2Vd

Xue Wenxuan took his time chewing the food in his mouth and then playfully said, “Why don’t you reward him then?”

Wen Yunzhi agreed, and she ordered a deep-water torpedo, sending 100 as a gift.

“One hundred seems a bit low,” she commented, furrowing her brow. “The platform takes a cut, and in the end, it’s only going to be tens of thousands of dollars.”

After a moment of hesitation, she added a zero after the 100, increasing the gift to 1,000. 9JhO2f

Xue Wenxuan had intended to persuade his mother not to be too hasty with the gift, considering that there were many opportunities to support Xia Wan’s live broadcasts gradually.

However, before he could intervene, Wen Yunzhi moved her finger and confirmed the gift.

Xue Wenxuan’s expression froze as he watched the screen rapidly fill with comments.

[The last time that snack was delicious and affordable, I hope the host can bring more products.] jwuNFY

[My snacks are all gone, just waiting for my brother to restock.]

[I’ve got my pocket money ready.]

During his live broadcast, Xia Wan rarely spoke, but seeing numerous questions from viewers about upcoming broadcasts, he paused and replied, “I’ve been quite busy lately, so I’m not certain, but if I have the time on Friday, I’ll try to arrange it.”

Excitement filled the comments: pJYHhG

[Wow, that’s awesome! I’ve got my pocket money ready, waiting for Friday!]

[So, there’ll be another live broadcast on Friday, yay!]

Xia Wan smiled at the screen and then continued to focus on his lunch as before. The live broadcast room fell into a momentary silence, but the barrage of comments remained enthusiastic.

[Why does my brother always make food look so delicious?] 0w6ROj

[Even those of us who hate celery can’t help but drool when we see my brother eating it.]

[Does anyone else think that his little brother eats like a hamster? So cute.]

[He’s the perfect match for my hamster.]

[I really want to raise a little brother.”] bLteW1

[…]

Suddenly, the scrolling screen exploded with huge fireworks:

[YZ rewarded the anchor with a thousand deep-water torpedoes.]

Thinking back to the previous generous tip, Xia Wan couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise. And when he saw the system’s notification, he was even more shocked. kF0YMj

The potatoes slipped off his fork, and the soup splattered onto his pristine white T-shirt.

[One million?]

[Is this the biggest tip ever on this site?]

[Oh my God, I’m speechless at what I just witnessed.] SpDOzR

[Isn’t this the same viewer who tipped the anchor generously last time? They’re doing it again!]

[Wow! YZ, you’re really something. You can easily afford this.]

The barrage was filled with astonishment and excitement.

On the other hand, Huo Yu had just finished his work and was watching Xia Wan’s live broadcast while having a meal. There was a rare smile in his eyes, until the fireworks suddenly erupted on the screen. o5nCWb

“YZ?” Huo Yu’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Wasn’t this the same person who had outbid him last time? And now he was tipping so generously?

Could it be that this person know Xia Wan?

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

As his thoughts swirled, a barrage of comments suddenly caught his attention:

Huo Yu unconsciously tapped his finger on the table, the ring on his finger making a faint sound. He felt an inexplicable sense of unease. He immediately opened the deep-water torpedoes and changed the number to 2,000. x1Qt9S

Before the first wave of fireworks had even dissipated, a second wave of gorgeous fireworks exploded on the screen:

[HY has rewarded you with 2,000 deep-water torpedoes.]

Xia Wan stared at the rapidly increasing numbers on the screen, feeling a mixture of panic and bewilderment. His first instinct was to call Su Tang and Fu Ling over to see what was happening, but he hesitated because he was still live on camera.

[Oh my God, my heart is racing, even though it wasn’t a reward for me.] Ytcya5

[Is my brother going to be scared off again?]

[A duel, a duel! I missed such an incredible showdown last time. Do you know how much I regret it?]

[Hahaha, my brother’s expression is both distressed and amusing.]

The barrage of comments continued, and Xia Wan couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions as he tried to figure out what was happening. TNrdRY

“Friends with the names YZ and HY,” Xia Wan finally found his voice after a long pause, “Thank you for your generosity, but the amount of your tips is incredibly large, please…”

Before he could finish his sentence, fireworks exploded on the screen once more:

[YZ rewarded you with 2,500 deep-water torpedoes.]

Xia Wan bit his lip, his hands trembling as he clicked to end the live broadcast. M7nHNf

Meanwhile, when Huo Yu attempted to send another tip, he was abruptly kicked out of the live broadcast room as the broadcast ended.

Huo Yu blinked in disbelief. He had lost again?
