...
Xu Shengxia never expected the original owner's voice to sound so nice in a voice message.
But she wasn't particularly fond of it.
Her ideal voice was a mature, queenly one, not this harmless, girly tone.
But there was nothing she could do to change her voice, so she was stuck with it.
As for the comments in the chat, Xu Shengxia scoffed.
She knew a thing or two about men...
Poor losers fell for rich, beautiful women, while rich, handsome guys went for damsels in distress.
That way, they could find in the other person what they themselves lacked.
As for the guy calling himself handsome... Xu Shengxia was willing to bet he was ugly as sin.
The truly handsome men she'd met rarely boasted about their looks in public. The ones who did usually lacked self-awareness.
She couldn't be bothered with people like that.
Just then, the system announced again:
Jiang Xingzhou Favorability +5
Jiang Xingzhou Favorability +5
[Current Favorability: 70]
Xu Shengxia raised an eyebrow.
'Looks like the streamer is a sucker for a nice voice,' she thought.
'The only problem is, I have no idea what this favorability is good for. It's not like I can convert it into cash...'
Because she hadn't been sure what practical use the points had, she hadn't paid much attention when the system announced the favorability increases while she was sending gifts earlier.
'I can't believe... in just a short while, Jiang Xingzhou has already gotten my favorability up to 70.'
Tsk...
'Younger boys really are easy to please.'
'This is good, though. The higher the favorability, the easier it'll be to cash in on him later.'
As the thought flashed through her mind, Jiang Xingzhou announced on stream that he would give her his WeChat.
Once Xu Shengxia heard that, she had no desire to waste any more time in the stream.
'I'm rich now...'
'Naturally, I have to go treat myself.'
'What's the point of hanging around this stream? It's so boring.'
'It's not like I've never seen a handsome man before...'
So, she sent another voice message to say goodbye.
"Okay, cutie, be quick about it. I'm logging off to go have some fun. Bye~"
The chat erupted into another commotion, with some fans begging her not to leave.
But Xu Shengxia ignored them all.
After sending the message, she waited for Jiang Xingzhou's reply—"Okay, I've sent it. Goodbye"—before she finally left the stream for good.
After leaving the stream, Xu Shengxia realized she was hungry.
She rubbed her stomach, her mouth watering at a sudden craving for hot pot.
She pulled out her phone and searched for nearby hot pot restaurants.
After finding one, Xu Shengxia decided to change her clothes before heading out...
But after rummaging through all the clothes in the original owner's suitcase, she couldn't find a single thing she liked.
They were all just so tacky, ugly, and cheap.
Nothing appealed to her in the slightest.
After a few minutes of searching, Xu Shengxia grew annoyed.
Since she couldn't find anything, she gave up. Xu Shengxia decided she would just go out, buy a new outfit, and then go to the hot pot restaurant.
With that decided, she started to head out, still wearing the black T-shirt and shorts she'd had on ever since arriving in this world.
But when she got to the entrance, even the door seemed to be conspiring against her.
No matter how much she fiddled with it, the key just wouldn't lock the door.
It was one thing for it not to lock, but now she couldn't even get the key out!
Furious, Xu Shengxia kicked the rusty iron door, which let out a reverberating CLANG.
"You stupid door! If you don't want to be locked, fine! I won't lock you! Consider yourself dumped! I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back!"
With that, she stomped back into the room, snatched the original owner's ID card, household registration book, and phone, and stormed away from the apartment.
...
Xu Shengxia had originally planned to go to the mall first, buy a designer outfit, and then go to the hot pot restaurant.
But she was just too hungry!
In the end, after much deliberation in the back of the taxi, she gave the driver the address of the hot pot place.
As she entered the hot pot restaurant, the waitress at the door gave her a strange look. Xu Shengxia couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she knew she'd never been looked at like that before, and it made her uncomfortable. She frowned instinctively, ignored the waitress, and started to walk past her into the restaurant.
Seeing this, the waitress hurried to catch up, blocking her with an outstretched arm.
"Excuse me, miss. Are you here to dine or to meet someone? If you're dining, you'll need to get a table first. If you're looking for someone, please wait by the door. You can give me their name, and I'll go call them."
Xu Shengxia laughed at her words:
"Do I look like I'm here to meet someone?"
'My stomach is practically caving in. Of course I'm here to eat.'
'Are you blind? And you're working as a greeter? Are you fucking kidding me?!'
Xu Shengxia was deeply annoyed...
The main source of her irritation was the look the waitress had given her.
She hadn't understood it at first.
But now, she was starting to get it.
'Don't tell me this waitress is looking down on me, thinking I'm someone who can't afford hot pot?'
'What the fuck!'
'This is a hot pot restaurant.'
'Even if this particular one is a bit upscale, it's still just a hot pot restaurant!'
'And someone actually thinks I can't afford to eat here?!'
