Chapter 35 Possessiveness at Work (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Listening to music?

It would have been so much better to just say we'd connect via live stream.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't need to think twice before agreeing: "Call me after you finish your broadcast."

As for why he left the voice chat room?

Because the bedroom light was on after she woke up, and the phone was making some noise, the tycoon was shouting in the living room.

They're often let out to play wildly, and once they know there are people at home, they don't want to stay in the cage.

I walked out resignedly.

Upon seeing her appear, the tycoon shouted even louder and kept pawing at the cage's latch.

Shen Zhaoyi recorded its current behavior with her phone and then sent it to Su Ye.

Because of my hosting duties tonight, it took quite a while before I received his reply.

[You stay up all night, even the birds have to follow you?]

With a slightly teasing tone, Shen Zhaoyi, after reading it, replied confidently, "This is called 'favoring one's master as they please.'"

……

At 3 a.m., the WeChat call rang precisely on time.

Shen Zhaoyi pressed the answer button, and Su Ye's voice came through, asking if she was still playing with the parrot.

“Yes.” Shen Zhaoyi held the tycoon in her palm and suddenly remembered that Su Ye’s stage name was Nightingale.

Parrots and nightingales.

They're all birds.

She switched her phone to speakerphone. "Come on, rich guy, say hello to your fellow squires!"

The little guy was very obliging and immediately let out a loud shout.

It was extremely hoarse.

Shen Zhaoyi quickly covered its mouth: "Alright, I won't say anything more. Don't bark next time."

On the other end of the phone, Su Ye's low laughter came through.

After a flurry of activity, Shen Zhaoyi finally managed to catch the tycoon and put him back in his cage. She walked back to her bedroom with her phone in hand and complained, "We're both 'birds,' but you sing better."

"Then I'll sing you a song to cleanse your ears?"

These words carried a hint of doting affection, so how could Shen Zhaoyi refuse?
A short while later, the accompaniment began.

It is "Nocturne".

Having spent these past few days in Victoria, Shen Zhaoyi had subconsciously associated Su Ye with Cantonese songs. Now, suddenly hearing him sing in Mandarin, a question arose in her mind.

After the song ended, she asked, "Su Ye, where are you from?"

"What happened in G City?"

"It's nothing," Shen Zhaoyi said shyly. "You don't have an accent when you speak, so I thought you just learned Cantonese for singing."

Su Ye explained with a smile that his mother was a Chinese language teacher and would often correct his pronunciation when he was young.

"Huh? Then your childhood must have been very strict?" Shen Zhaoyi imagined a little girl being lectured.

"well enough."

Su Ye recounted some stories from her childhood.

The two gradually forgot that they were originally supposed to sing.

Hearing the yawns coming from the other end of the line, Shen Zhaoyi realized that more than half an hour had passed. She lay back on the bed and suggested, "Why don't you turn off the computer and lie down in bed too?"

"Um... wait for me a moment."

There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, followed by a long silence, then the sound of footsteps.

Shen Zhaoyi could imagine him walking around the room, then washing up, and then going back to bed, as if he had suddenly peeked into the other person's life.

Too much ambiguity can make your heart race.

While Su Ye was changing his headphones, Shen Zhaoyi quickly shook her head to banish some unhealthy thoughts from her mind.

After calming down, she suddenly realized that she might have gone a bit too far today, since they were all in the same hall.

"How could that be? This was his fault to begin with," Su Ye comforted her. "Besides, you're the boss, no one will find fault with you."

"What if he goes to the hall master and makes things difficult for you?" "You don't need to worry about that at all. Thanks to you, the hall's revenue is so good that it's like a year's worth of money in a day. He practically worships the two of us."

Shen Zhaoyi was amused by him.

That makes sense. So, the platform's commission ratio is 5:2:3 (50% for the platform, 20% for the guild, and 30% for the streamer). With all the gifts given to Su Ye these past few days, Vic can get around a million.

Even if we're in the wrong today, for the sake of money, we don't need to be afraid of getting into trouble.

Isn't this just something to be worshipped?

Shen Zhaoyi retorted, "And what about you?"

"what?"

"What I mean is, I've spent so much money on you, so you have to treat it like royalty, hoping it will help you earn more?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, Su Ye murmured, "I don't believe in these things, and I don't care how much you spend or whether you give me gifts."

"Actually, I've been thinking about how to thank you for the past two days. Those gifts... I'm really overwhelmed."

He sighed, his voice becoming somewhat hesitant.

“I know you’re generous and probably don’t lack anything, so I haven’t thought of how to repay you yet…”

Seeing that Su Ye was about to get serious, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly asked, "What was the highest amount that those previous bosses swiped for you?"

"A little over ten thousand," Su Ye recalled, his voice indeed a significant advantage. "But they don't stay for very long."

As for the reason, Shen Zhaoyi knew it in her heart.

Since none of those people could swipe as much as she could, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then I might as well just be your boss from now on. I can swipe more than all of them combined."

This is not just her bragging; no amount of real money can beat someone like her who's got a cheat code.
The system provides more than enough support!

Moreover, Shen Zhaoyi genuinely likes Su Ye's voice, plus his 9.7 looks.

The thought that he might chat, sing, and even coax other bosses to sleep via video call instantly stirred up her possessiveness.

Using money to eliminate these possibilities is the best way to repay her.

After hearing this, Su Ye became serious.

"No need to send gifts, I only do this for you."

"Because...no one else will understand and be as tolerant as you..."

His voice was soft, but every word was clear.

Shen Zhaoyi sensed the desolation in Su Ye's words and knew that Su Ye was hurt by professional prejudice.

The problem now is that she has absolutely no talent for comforting people.

After much thought, I had no choice but to resort to my usual tactic—

Let's change the subject.

"Are you scared when you go to work?" Shen Zhaoyi almost bit her tongue when she asked this question.

Why bring up work at a time like this?

Su Ye hadn't expected her to suddenly veer off to this topic, and she chuckled to herself.

"Have you forgotten? I just said I don't believe in these things."

"So...so your makeup skills are pretty good?"

This feeling of making conversation out of nothing was only because Su Ye had a good personality; after listening, he patiently explained to her, "My makeup is probably a little different from yours?"

Shen Zhaoyi's curiosity was piqued.

"What's the difference?"

Under her persistent questioning, Su Ye reluctantly described her work process.

The night was deeper.

Later, it's unclear which one went silent first, but eventually, both of them fell asleep.

The phone was set aside, and the time on the call screen quietly passed, but what gradually gathered together were two beating hearts.
