Chapter 73

Yan Shenyu put the cola into the trolley and took it back to her room along with the crayfish.

When he returned, there were already many people in the live stream, with comments popping up from time to time.

Where are they? Where did the streamer go?

Good grief, this title is so perfunctory, did you copy it from the esports team at the store next door?

[That's still better than the esports group. The esports group doesn't even have their audio on, but at least this group is on camera.]

[Don't try to outdo us in being the worst! What e-sports group? We're a high-end variety show! Look at our other guests: Fu Shuyu brings fans to upscale events, Wei Yiming brings fans to see celebrities, Xu Yi brings fans to see hunky men, while we can only watch you eat crayfish! And we can't even get to eat any!]

"Who said we can't have any?" Yan Shenyu placed the crayfish in front of the camera and said calmly, "I'll be giving away crayfish to one lucky viewer during this live stream."

Netizen: ? ?

【Oh my god, really? Really?】

Okay, I'm taking back the foot I was using to climb the wall!

I don't believe you! Unless you invite me!!

Brothers, don't fall for his tricks! He's just sending you a red envelope as a treat!

Yan Shenyu sat down in a chair, took a sip of cola, and then said to the camera, "For local friends, I'll pick you up from your doorstep. For out-of-town friends, airfare and hotel are all included. Are you satisfied now?"

【Great, I've taken a screenshot.】

[Man, you've successfully caught my attention. (Holding a rose in her mouth)]

[Holy crap, he frowned! He's going to change his mind! Everyone, take a screenshot!]

"Who went back on their word?" Yan Shenyu frowned, took another sip of cola, and still felt something was off. He asked in confusion, "I just feel that the cola tastes a little different today than before."

Is it sugar-free and fiber-free? I took another sip, but I couldn't taste any difference.

Oh well, I'll just have to bear with it and it'll pass.

Yan Shenyu wore two layers of disposable gloves and chatted with everyone while peeling crayfish.

Half of the viewers in the live chat were waiting for the lottery, while the other half were asking about Xie Xiaoling's release from prison.

Yan Shenyu was shocked: "You all knew?"

[The internet has been flooded with rumors that he didn't commit any crime, and that it was all a conspiracy by Xiao Zhenliang. He's also a victim; he was just cooperating with the investigation in prison. Now that the investigation is clear, he'll be released.]

Yan Shenyu was taken aback: "Wasn't he released on parole by performing good deeds?"

What? It's really been sentenced?

[To atone for his crimes? How much merit did he actually accomplish?]

Wait, is this something I can say?

"Uh..." Yan Shenyu wasn't sure if he could say it, so he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I was just talking nonsense. You've forgotten what I said earlier."

[It's fair to say this isn't classified.]

Almost simultaneously, an ID called "逍遥游" commented.

A carefree journey? Xu Xiao?

Yan Shenyu looked down and sent Xu Xiao a message: "Wandering the World?"

Xu Xiao: [。];

Since Xu Xiao said it wasn't a secret, Yan Shenyu didn't hesitate any longer and explained to the comments: "He was indeed sentenced, but he was released because he was redeeming himself through meritorious service. I don't know the specifics."

Goodness, it's only been a few months! That's practically the entire amount lost!

[A 50% reduction at most—for Xie Xiaoling to achieve this level of success would be a major accomplishment; she clearly has powerful connections.]

【Xiao Yan, you've sued him. Now you need to be careful.】

This whole juicy story has been full of twists and turns, it's outrageous! I'd like to offer a candle of consolation to Yan Shenyu.

[Let's try a different approach: light a candle for Xie Xiaoling.]

[Haha, you're right. Would a defeated opponent dare to provoke you again?]

"Don't try to stir things up for me," Yan Shenyu shook his head and said seriously, "He and I are just plaintiff and defendant right now."

Halfway through his sentence, Yan Zhengang pushed the door open and looked at him in shock: "Why did you drink my Coke?"

"Yours?" Yan Shenyu frowned, then suddenly realized, "No wonder it tastes so bad."

Yan Zhengang: "Fine, drink it if you want."

Before leaving, he turned back to look at Yan Shenyu, his expression hesitant: "Um..."

Yan Shenyu: "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing," Yan Zhengang said as he turned to leave, adding, "Cola isn't good for your health, so drink less of it."

When did Yan Zhengang become so talkative?

Yan Shenyu took a sip of cola and ate two crayfish. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt a little dizzy.

Could it be that I caught a cold from being in the air conditioner for too long?

At that moment, he suddenly saw a comment flash by.

[Host, what are your thoughts on Xie Xiaoling's reduced sentence and release from prison?]

Yan Shenyu squinted for two seconds before slowly saying, "I don't feel anything. I just hope he returns the ring to me soon."

He went to jail because of you, aren't you afraid he'll get revenge when he gets out?

"I'm afraid of him?" Yan Shenyu paused for two seconds, then suddenly raised a large pincer in one hand. "I'm not afraid, I have crayfish!"

[Hahaha, you son of a bitch, crayfish, are you here specifically to be funny?]

[Seriously, this person's IQ is at most three years old? No more than that.]

What's wrong with Xiao Yan? Something seems off.

Are you drunk?

But wasn't he drinking Coke?

The netizen who had just asked him wasn't done yet, and asked again, "So how did you feel when Xiao Zhenliang abandoned you and chose him?"

[Hey, upstairs, aren't you going a bit too far?]

[Stop it! Why keep poking at people's sore spots?]

Yan Shenyu fell silent.

Then he downed the cola in one gulp and slammed the glass down on the table.

"You ask me how I feel? Of course I'm furious!" Yan Shenyu said indignantly, his face flushed. "I just don't understand, I'm handsome, highly educated, have a great physique, and even six-pack abs, how come I can't compare to Xie Xiaoling?"

[Holy crap, I knew it was odd that Xiao Yan was so calm earlier.]

He only dared to show his true feelings when he was drunk; he probably still cares a lot.

“Yes, I care to death!” Yan Shenyu said to the camera, “I never dreamed he would do something like this! Xiao Zhenliang… Xiao Zhenliang actually dared to give my wedding ring to Xie Xiaoling!”

Wait, so what you care about is your ring?

"If I don't care about the ring, do you think I care about two scumbags?" Yan Shenyu was genuinely angry, especially feeling sorry for the original owner of this body.

"That ring cost me everything I owned to make. I was hoping he would put it on my finger on our wedding day, but what did Xiao Zhenliang do? He just gave it to someone else!"

"What does Xiao Zhenliang like about him? Does he like his lively personality and his submissive nature?"

Netizen: ? ?

Some slow-reacting netizens haven't even realized what's happening yet.

Until Yan Shenyu blurted out, "So just because I have a big penis, does that mean I deserve to be cheated on?"

The entire internet was in an uproar.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wow, that's way too wild!

This doesn't look like cola! It looks like fake alcohol!

[Haha, a rare video of a human going crazy while drunk]

[It's confirmed, that Coke was from a fake bar?]

No wonder Yan Zhengang sneaked in so suspiciously earlier; it turns out Yan Shenyu drank his wine?

[Hilarious! My dad does this all the time. He secretly drinks alcohol behind my mom's back, mixing baijiu (Chinese liquor) with Sprite and Coke. I accidentally got caught once when I was little and slept all day.]

[Xiao Yan's reaction was way too much; did she probably mix in half a glass of baijiu?]

Cough, he's so drunk he's even lost his underwear.

[Hilarious! He'll be so embarrassed when he wakes up tomorrow and sees this!]

[One can almost imagine how socially bankrupt he is.]

“Seriously,” Yan Shenyu stared at the comments section, saying each word clearly, “I’m not joking with you, I’m stating the facts!”

What facts are we talking about?

The live chat started casting bait, and Yan Shenyu readily took the bait.

He said, "I'm older than Xie Xiaoling."

But we haven't seen you, how would we know you're older than him?

Yan Shenyu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "Then I'll show you!"

Netizen: ? ?

[Holy crap? Is this for real??]

Good heavens, counterfeit alcohol is a menace!

Hurry, hurry, hurry up!!

"What's the rush?" Yan Shenyu hiccuped and said slowly, "I'll prove it to you right now."

Yan Shenyu finished a glass of cola mixed with alcohol, and you could see the redness on his face even through the screen. He was wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants, without a belt, only the sweatpants were tied with two drawstrings.
