The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

“Zhouzhou, I really like you, otherwise... I wouldn’t have put in so much effort.”

Li Mu approached Jiang Zhouzhou's location, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Back in school, who wouldn't want to win over this unattainable beauty?

Although Jiang Zhouzhou looks delicate and weak, she is actually prickly and impossible to get close to.

Jiang Zhouzhou's brows furrowed more and more, and her hand unconsciously reached into her bag...

For her own safety, she put a self-defense weapon in her bag when she went out.

"Look who I've run into! Isn't this the eldest young master of the Li family? His methods are still as despicable as ever..."

The music in the bar had somehow quieted down, and the man's casual, sarcastic voice clearly reached my ears.

Seeing the man approaching, Li Mu's eyes darkened with displeasure: "Zhou Xian..."

Why did he suddenly come over and meddle in other people's business?

Xu Yiyi looked up, a hint of amazement flashing in her slightly tipsy eyes. The man in front of her was really handsome.

His hair was styled in a wild, slicked-back style, his features were handsome yet possessed an undeniable aggressiveness, his brow bones were high and his eyes were deep-set, his bone structure was exceptionally superior. Yet, this man... wore a pink diamond stud in his left ear, creating an unexpected and striking contrast.

If describing...

It's like putting a collar around the neck of an untamed wild beast.

The first thing you notice about him is his appearance.

But the second time I looked at him, my gaze always fell on that dazzling pink diamond.

Jiang Zhouzhou looked at another man approaching, her lips almost pressed into a straight line.

Li Mu said coldly, "Zhou Xian, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Although he and Zhou Xian were not in the same circle, they had some business dealings with the upper-class family businesses in Shanghai, and he didn't want to make things too ugly.

Zhou Xian smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I don't want to meddle in other people's business, but this is my territory after all. If you want to cause trouble here and something happens... what if it affects me?"

His finger landed on the glass of wine on the bar, his fingertip poking at the glass, and he slowly pushed it towards Li Mu.

"Of course, Mr. Li can finish this glass of wine, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

That glass of wine was the one Xu Yiyi poured for Jiang Zhouzhou.

Zhou Xianmo didn't care whether anything was added to it or not.

Li Mu's expression was grim, and he said with a dark face, "Zhou Xian, don't go too far..."

The atmosphere between the two men was tense at this moment.

At this point, Jiang Zhouzhou could see perfectly clearly... that her glass of wine was not clean at all.

However, she didn't drink it beforehand; she only touched the rim of the glass with her lips.

Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at Xu Yiyi, then at Li Mu, who was furious and embarrassed.

"So...not only did you try every means to lure me out, you also deliberately put something in my drink?"

Her tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

Xu Yiyi, who knew Jiang Zhouzhou well, noticed her evasive eyes and knew this was a sign that Jiang Zhouzhou was about to get angry.

Li Mu said impatiently, "Jiang Zhouzhou, I know your family is poor. You've been working to earn money while you were in school. Now, if you agree to be with me, I guarantee you'll never lack money for the rest of your life."

He had already put in enough effort for Jiang Zhouzhou, and now that Zhou Xian was meddling in his affairs, his patience was wearing thin.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Jiang Zhouzhou's tightly pursed lips suddenly curled into a smile.

She was already beautiful, and her smile was radiant.

When Li Mu saw her smile, he assumed she was going to agree to his request, and his expression revealed a hint of smugness.

Suddenly, a cold liquid was splashed on his face.

"Snapped--"

Before he could react, Li Mu received another heavy slap across the face.

Zhou Xian was momentarily stunned when his wrist was suddenly grabbed, and his body involuntarily followed the slender figure in front of him.

The bar lights were dazzling and mesmerizing, and the figures in front of me kept changing in the interplay of light and shadow, making everything around me seem to recede into the distance.

After running out of the bar, Jiang Zhouzhou stood in the dark alley, breathing heavily.

Zhou Xian's Adam's apple bobbed: "Why...why did you drag me out here?"

Jiang Zhouzhou then released his wrist, her embarrassed expression revealing a hint of shyness. She quickly explained, "Um... thank you for helping me out earlier. I was worried that if I ran away, Li Mu would get angry and beat you up."

Her voice grew softer and softer, overlapping with her appearance during the live stream. She looked delicate, but when she got angry, she was like a cat with its fur standing on end, knowing how to protect herself with bared teeth and claws.

Zhou Xian's lips twitched: "..."

Does he look like he can't beat Li Mu?

"Your worries are completely unnecessary. That bar is mine. The reason I'm helping you is because I don't want to affect the bar's business."

On his territory, Li Mu didn't dare to act recklessly at all.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhouzhou's face flushed red. So, she had... dragged the bar owner out?

"Then you should go back quickly! Don't let it interfere with your business."

Jiang Zhouzhou turned her face away, somewhat embarrassed to look at the man's expression.

Anyway, she had already left the bar and planned to take a taxi home.

Zhou Xianzheng's lips moved as if he was about to say something, when Jiang Zhouzhou's phone suddenly rang.

In this quiet alley, the sound of the bell was particularly jarring and abrupt.

Jiang Zhouzhou looked at Xu Yiyi's name on the caller ID, her expression darkened, and sadness filled her lowered eyes.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

She said something to Zhou Xian and then pressed the answer button.

It's better to say some things directly, and this can be seen as putting an end to this friendship.

Xu Yiyi's tone was somewhat anxious: "Zhouzhou, have you gone back yet? I'm sorry about what happened tonight. I shouldn't have taken advantage of our friendship again. Can you please stop..."

Before she could continue, Jiang Zhouzhou interrupted her directly: "Xu Yiyi, you are wrong. It's not that you shouldn't have taken advantage of our friendship, but that you shouldn't have taken advantage of a girl's safety."

If she hadn't chosen to go there tonight, if Xu Yiyi had really gotten into trouble at the bar tonight... Jiang Zhouzhou would have lived with self-blame for the rest of her life.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yiyi remained silent, with only the noisy background sounds of the bar remaining.

Jiang Zhouzhou said calmly, "Don't contact me again."

She hung up the phone and promptly blacklisted all of Xu Yiyi's contact information, and also blocked Li Mu's WeChat account.

Zhou Xian raised an eyebrow: "People who are too trusting of others often suffer the most."

Jiang Zhouzhou bit her lower lip and did not refute.

Zhou Xian looked up at the street outside the alley. It was quiet and deserted, with only the streetlights casting a dim light.

"Let's go! I'll take you home."

Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head and refused, saying, "No need, I'll just take a taxi."

Although the man in front of her had helped her, to her... he was still a stranger.

Seeing that Jiang Zhouzhou was wary of him, Zhou Xian's smile suddenly turned wicked. He lowered his eyes, his gaze becoming dangerous, and then his words caused Jiang Zhouzhou's expression to change abruptly...

"Don't worry, streamer, I won't hurt you."
