Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 59: Chapter 057: The Gift

The refrigerator in the kitchen really had no decent ingredients, not even a tiny bit of meat.

Of course, this might be because both girls were vegetarians, but anyway, Chu Mo really put a lot of thought into this dinner that was lacking in ingredients.

It could be said that if it weren't for the fact that he had improved his cooking skills a lot under the training of his family's chef over the past week, the taste of tonight's meal would have probably dropped by at least one level.

That's exactly why, seeing how deliciously the two girls were eating, Chu Mo felt an unusual sense of satisfaction in his heart.

So, Chu Mo, who originally only planned to eat one bowl of rice, ended up forcibly adding half a bowl to himself, and even poured all the soup left on the plates into his bowl!

Chu Wen volunteered to do the dishes, and Chu Mo, whose belly was so full it was distended, didn't insist on taking the task from her.

Just lounging with his bloated belly, he lay sprawled out on the living room sofa, placed the anime girl-printed cushion behind his head, and just as Chu Mo appeared completely comfortable, Chu Wen, who had finished washing up in the kitchen, gently inquired while wiping the moisture off her hands:

"You still haven't answered my earlier question. What do you do, exactly?

If I remember correctly, your mom works for a state-owned enterprise, and your dad works for a big company. Could you be a second-generation rich kid?

That doesn't seem right either, I know your uncle and your grandparents live in the countryside!"

With curiosity brimming in her eyes, Chu Wen gently sat down, and indeed, as a fragrant breeze wafted in, the faint sweet smell that he had noticed in the elevator hit his nose once again.

Taking a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale the enticing fragrance into his belly, Chu Mo, who had been lazily leaning on the sofa, softly said:

"I am indeed just a freelance writer—that's the truth—and I've also indeed invested in a hotel... Have you heard of the Bafang International Hotel?"

Upon seeing the doubt in the girl's eyes as she shook her head, Chu Mo explained with a smile:

"All you need to know is that it's a very big hotel, and I'm not a hotel chef but one of the behind-the-scenes major shareholders. Enough about me, let's talk about you. You seem to get along well with your roommate; she seems very protective of you!"

At these words, warmth flickered in Chu Wen's eyes as she nodded gently, stroked her hair by her ear, and with a smile on her beautiful face, she leaned forward slightly, saying:

"Xiao Shuang is someone I met while working as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Modu... Out of so many people, only she didn't call me 'Buckteeth,' and we worked hard together. She self-studied and got into college, went through a lot of hardship, and finally became the stewardess she always dreamed of becoming.

My dream is to be a model, but I'm still working hard toward that dream. Xiao Shuang is really kind; there were many times when I wanted to give up, but she encouraged me to persist through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for her, I would have gone back to the countryside five years ago, been set up with a stranger, and then gotten married and had children... Luckily, I held on, so I'm very thankful to her!"

Chu Mo nodded slightly and pointed toward the bedroom door that was firmly closed, wondering:

"What is she doing locked up in her room? She seems so secretive!"

Your next journey awaits at M V L

"Pfft!"

For the first time, a hint of a smile appeared in Chu Wen's eyes. Because the conversation touched on her best friend, her gorgeous face was filled with a tender smile as she explained:

"She's afraid you'll laugh at her. Xiao Shuang is a flight attendant, but when she has time off, she does live streaming on a platform and sings.

She's just average at singing, but because she's pretty and has a good figure, she can make a few hundred RMB each time she streams. She uses the money she gets from donations to help me out now and then.

Like this month, I might not be able to pay my rent, and she'll cover for me; or when I can't bring myself to buy makeup, she'll buy it for me...!"

There was a touch of tenderness in Chu Wen's eyes, a look that naturally exuded from her inner softness.

Chu Mo, listening intently, shone a faint light in his eyes, as he had been wondering how to make up for his own mistakes and now seemed to have found a good entry point.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and, trying to appear natural, casually said:

"Which platform does she stream on? What's her username? I'll go there and send her some small gifts to help boost her popularity!"

Hearing this, the girl in front of him hesitated slightly, and Chu Mo immediately said with a smiling face:

"If you don't tell me, then I'll just ask her myself later!"

Finally, after a light shake of her head and with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, Chu Wen took a deep breath and said:

"She streams on Douyu, with the username Shuang Su Shuang Fei. It's best if you don't let her know that you've watched her stream, or she'll feel awkward when you meet in the future. Despite Xiao Shuang's carefree appearance, she's actually quite sensitive. Aside from me, no one around her knows she streams!"

He gave a light nod, opened his phone to enter the system's marketplace, and downloaded the Douyu app. After a few minutes, the installation was complete.

He logged in with his WeChat account, hesitated a moment, and then changed his platform nickname to Zhi Chi Tian Ya, which was his QQ account name.

Without rushing to search for her, he looked at the recharge options and clicked on the top-up page. He saw several top-up amounts ranging from one RMB to ten thousand RMB, arbitrarily clicked on a few choices, and then Chu Mo realized that one fish fin on the platform was equivalent to one RMB in real life.

Although Chu Mo had never been into live streaming before, he had heard of the app. After fumbling around for a bit, he roughly figured out some basic functions.

The largest recharge option here was RMB 10,000, which clearly couldn't satisfy Chu Mo's needs.

He clicked on other options and began typing a one, followed by an unending string of zeros. After entering five zeros, he couldn't continue anymore!

It seemed that the maximum amount for a single recharge was RMB 100,000!

After hesitating for a moment, he deleted the number he had input and then Chu Mo entered a nine as the first digit, followed by continuous clicking. Shortly after, when there were six nines in the recharge field, he couldn't enter anymore.

So, the highest amount for a single recharge should be RMB 999,999!

He pressed confirm, directly chose WeChat Pay because his WeChat was linked to an unlimited credit card that was protected by the system, so he wasn't worried about security issues.

After inputting the password and clicking confirm again, he saw nearly a million fish fins added to his account. Chu Mo then nodded slightly and returned to the homepage. He typed the nickname of Zhao Shuangshuang into the search bar, and in a moment, a delicate face appeared on the mobile screen!

Edited photo!

Because the mole with a tear by her eye was gone!

Just as he entered the live broadcast room, the girl with the delicate face was singing softly with her hands on her ears:

"Little rabbit hops along,

Little duck sways as it walks,

Little turtle moves so slowly,

Little cat walks ever so quietly,

Meow~!

..."

As the girl on the screen finished with a trailing meow~, Chu Mo suddenly felt goosebumps rise!

"Pfft, I told you Xiao Shuang can't sing, don't let her know you were eavesdropping on her singing!" said Chu Wen next to him, giggling as she heard the familiar voice.

However, to be fair, Chu Mo thought Zhao Shuangshuang's singing was actually quite pleasant.

He turned the volume down to the lowest, then clicked on the gift option and selected the most expensive Super Rocket. The moment he hit send, the entire screen was suddenly filled with a dazzling display of rockets.

After that, Chu Mo saw Zhao Shuangshuang in the screen, originally saying something, suddenly cover her mouth with her hand, looking shocked and adorably dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Chu Wen suddenly spoke up:

"Don't waste money, just casually gift some lollipops or lucky bags."

Because Chu Wen couldn't see his phone screen as she was facing him, he didn't explain or argue. He simply nodded and agreed softly, then Chu Mo clicked again on the Super Rocket worth 2,000 RMB and hit send, after which he chuckled and said,

"I know, just casually gifting some small presents!"

Upon the sending of two Super Rockets, the previously quiet live broadcast room immediately became bustling with excitement, with various bullet comments constantly appearing on the screen. At that moment, in Zhao Shuangshuang's bedroom, a startled voice suddenly came through.

Chu Mo, amused after glancing at the mobile screen, saw that Zhao Shuangshuang, in her excitement, had fallen heavily onto the floor while leaning backward!

With the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, Chu Mo then stopped watching and continuously tapped to send more gifts. In a brief moment, the entire screen was filled with Super Rockets.

Chu Mo didn't pause in his actions, so rockets kept launching one after another on the screen, seemingly endless.

When he eventually didn't know how many times he had tapped and his fingertips began to numb, the bedroom door across from him suddenly opened. Then, Zhao Shuangshuang, with surprise in her eyes, abruptly blurted out to Chu Mo without preamble,

"Was it you?"

Before Chu Mo could reply, the girl at the bedroom door immediately rushed towards him.

In a waft of fragrance, she threw herself right beside Chu Mo, and upon seeing the still-refreshing Super Rockets on the phone screen, she swallowed hard and said in astonishment,

"Are you trying to keep me?"

Because of her alarm, the flushed Zhao Shuangshuang clung tightly against him.

Feeling the amazing softness against his arm, Chu Mo's heartbeat began to race.
