The streamer was so beautiful and charming that the guy jumped right in.

Before meeting Xing Che, Pu Xi replied to Qi Nian's message again, followed by another threatening message from Su Yunye, who was afraid he wouldn't be able to find her.

Seeing that Pei Yannan hadn't replied to her message after she did last time, Pu Xi inquired with the system.

"System, how much has Pei Yannan's favorability rating dropped?"

"Host, Pei Yannan's favorability towards you has been fluctuating. It is currently at 50, and the rating is either like or dislike."

"In other words, he's conflicted."

"Yes, host."

Let her be conflicted; she already has enough on her plate.

When Pu Xi reached the gate, she saw Xing Che parked to the side and quickly walked over. Xing Che got out of the car and opened the door for Pu Xi.

"How was the talk?"

"pretty good."

"Xixi, how about I set up a studio for you?"

Pu Xi shook her head: "No need, I feel like I can manage on my own."

She won't be a livestreamer or entertainer forever; it's something she needs right now. She'll be back when she doesn't need it anymore, or when her company is revived.

“I’m just temporarily getting involved in these things. I won’t be a live streamer or entertainer forever. Even with you supporting me, I don’t know when I might not want to do it anymore. Having staff would just be too much trouble.”

Xing Che smiled indulgently: "Okay." His wealth was enough for Pu Xihua to live several lifetimes without spending it all.

He had considered giving Pu Xi some resources, but he felt that Pu Xi didn't really want them. He was also afraid that she might overthink things and think that he was putting pressure on her by giving her resources.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

How about we have some seafood?

“Great, I happen to own a store.”

It just so happens that he owns a seafood restaurant, so we can just go there. Pu Xi shook her head excitedly. Who can understand the joy of dating a big boss? He can arrange everything as long as you want.

Arrived at the restaurant.

Xing Che led Pu Xi inside, and the staff there were all very respectful.

It seems Xing Che gave prior instructions.

Once inside the private room, there's no need to order; a little bit of each dish is served, and you can order whatever you like.

The restaurant originally offered a shrimp peeling service.

However, the waiter had been glancing at Pu Xi every now and then since he came in, which made Xing Che look at the waiter with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The waiter, who was about to start serving, was stopped by Xing Che's gaze.

The waiter stood aside somewhat nervously. Had he done something wrong?

Pu Xi looked up: "Go down."

The waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Pu Xi said coquettishly and mischievously, "Xing Che, you scared the waiter away. What if no one helps me peel shrimp? Then you'll be punished by peeling shrimp for me."

Xing Che looked at the charming and mischievous Pu Xi with a smile on his lips and a hint of doting affection.

"it is good."

Pu Xi propped her head up and watched as Xing Che rolled up his sleeves and peeled shrimp for her with his handsome hands. Pu Xi also noticed that Xing Che had a lot of calluses on his palms. She hadn't thought about it before, but now that she thought about it, she realized that...

A CEO wouldn't work so hard that he would have calluses on his hands. Considering Xing Che's previous gunshot wound and his mention of arms dealers, those calluses on his hands must be from gunshot wounds.

Moreover, she seemed to have found quite a few of these calluses on Qi Nian's hands as well. She was puzzled at the time, but now it seems they were left over from practicing shooting.

Pu Xi snapped out of her daze and saw the shrimp meat being offered to her lips. She opened her mouth and ate it, while also biting Xing Che's finger.

Xing Che merely smiled slightly at Pu Xi's actions.

Pu Xi had just finished eating one shrimp when Xing Che had already peeled the next one.

This time, Pu Xi ate, but didn't bite Xing Che's hand anymore; she just licked his fingers with her tongue.

Xing Che paused for a moment, his gaze towards Pu Xi darkening and revealing a hint of desire.

"Xixi, if you're naughty, I'll eat you right here and now."

Hearing Xing Che's words, she dared not make any small moves, fearing that Xing Che would punish her right there and then.

After stopping her fidgeting, Pu Xi started playing on her phone, scrolling through videos. Xing Che would peel one and then hold it to Pu Xi's lips, peeling another after she finished eating it, and so on. All Pu Xi had to do was move her mouth while she played on her phone.

Before long, Pu Xi couldn't eat anymore, and Xing Che also stopped eating. He wiped his hands with a wet towel, ate a few more bites, and then put down his chopsticks.

Pu Xi hasn't used her phone much in a long time, so a lot of gossip has emerged from Fast & Furious 7, or rather, the gossip that started after the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

Xing Che noticed Pu Xi was engrossed in her phone and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"What is Xixi looking at so intently?"

"It's nothing, I just saw a video of someone I know."

Pu Xi showed his phone to Xing Che. After glancing at the title, Xing Che remembered that night on the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he hadn't acted in time, he didn't know what Pu Xi would have faced. It seemed that crippling him was too lenient. He should just make him disappear.

Pu Xi frowned as she looked at the video being shared by fans in the fan group.

It seems that the banquet that night was a trap. If you obeyed, at least you wouldn't be ruined, regardless of whether you received any resources. But if you didn't obey, you would only be ruined and played to death.

If Xing Che hadn't arrived in time that night, given her drunken attitude towards him, she wouldn't have obeyed. Would she have been met with the same fate as in the video?

Not only will he be disgraced, but he will also be trampled into the mud and watched by thousands.

Fortunately, Xing Che and Fu Shen were there at the time, and Pu Xi leaned into Xing Che's arms.

Xing Che looked down at Pu Xi, his fingers gently smoothing out Pu Xi's slightly furrowed brows.

"If you're worried about your friend, I can help you smooth things over with your friend."

Pu Xi shook her head slightly. She couldn't say she was friends with her, or even that she knew her. She had only watched her live streams a few times.

She's not a saint; she wouldn't let Xing Che smooth things over for someone she'd only watched a few live streams with and didn't even know.

She only realized through this incident the gap between ordinary people like her and the powerful and wealthy; their social status was truly like a chasm that could never be crossed.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Xing Che and other powerful and influential figures with top-tier status, her fate might have been similar to hers.

In truth, she was lucky in a way—she was able to bind to the system and meet Xing Che and the others—but she was also unlucky in a way—her family was destroyed when she was young, and she often had bad luck in small matters.

I don't know if this is good luck or bad luck.

Is Xixi unhappy?

Pu Xi looked up and forced a smile: "No, I'm just a little scared."

Remembering what Pu Xi had told him before, that she thought she was just a product of their time, it seems that the video she saw tonight has made her heart, which she had just put down, jump again.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can hurt you." Xing Che added at the end, "I won't hurt you either."
