Chapter 157: Mr. Li Is a Nice Guy
Mu Sheng inexplicably felt Li Hanchen was that eagle.
He had sharp claws, but he was also very gentle.
“Are you okay?” Since Mu Sheng did not answer, Li Hanchen thought she was having a nightmare and wanted to get up and turn on the lights.
Mu Sheng pulled the blanket closer. She did not have much experience socializing in the past, so she got into the habit of speaking her mind. She looked at Li Hanchen and said, “Has anyone ever told you that you are a gentleman?”
Li Hanchen instantly froze slightly. He turned around with a smile on his face. “Nope. This is the first time someone is telling me that.”
“I see.” Mu Sheng nodded as she stood up to put on the slippers. “In that case, let me praise you a little. You are a pretty nice guy.”
Although Li Hanchen occasionally had a bad temper, he was the nicest guy she had ever met in this lifetime.
The expression on Li Hanchen’s face softened.
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Sheng continued, “You are a nice guy, so now that I have money, I would like to buy it for you.”
Mu Sheng had just collected money from Cat Live. She had just found out how much money C had given her through gifts. She felt as though she was a rich woman.
Li Hanchen went quiet and looked at Mu Sheng deeply. “A nice guy?”
“Uh huh.” Since Mu Sheng was from the future, she did not know that calling a man a nice guy was a way of rejecting him.
Since Li Hanchen was good to her, she ought to be good to him as well. Other than his illness, Li Hanchen probably needed money badly. She felt that giving Li Hanchen some money was the perfect option.
Footsteps came from outside as Auntie Lin came back from grocery shopping. Li Hanchen stopped talking. He simply tilted his head and said as he walked past Mu Sheng, “I am not a nice guy.”
Mu Sheng raised her head to glance at Li Hanchen. There were complicated emotions flowing through his eyes and it was impossible for Mu Sheng to tell what he was feeling. She simply said, “Even if you are not a nice guy, I will still treat you.”
The moment she finished her sentence, Mu Sheng walked off, leaving Li Hanchen standing in the dark living room. It was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Auntie Lin was carrying three bags with her left hand and four baskets with her right. She walked into the living room as she thought about what to cook tonight.
She entered the house to find that it was in darkness.
Auntie Lin felt puzzled. Was there no one in the villa? Why was the light not on? She reached her hand out to turn on the light. The instant she looked up, she opened her eyes slightly.
Did she just see Li Hanchen smile?
Auntie Lin composed herself before checking out Li Hanchen, but he had gone back to normal. Auntie Lin could not help suspecting her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Auntie Lin had come back with a lot of groceries today, so she cooked a lot of dishes tonight. Li An was on the brink of tears as he ate the pork ribs.
“Big Bro, what stupid school did you send me to? I am going bonkers!”
There was no place in Eminent Senior High for a commoner like him. There were lots of tests and competitions to take part in. The rest of his peers at school made him look like a pure idiot.
Li Hanchen glanced at him. “Be quiet.”
Li An chewed on the pork ribs sadly as he swallowed the tears in his eyes.
The only reason he had to continue living was Auntie Lin’s pork ribs. They were simply delectable. For the sake of these pork ribs, he had to climb back from Eminent Senior High if that was what it took.
After finishing a piece of pork ribs, Li An wanted to take more, but Li Hanchen stopped him.
“Yes?” Li An opened his eyes wide quizzically.
“Come over.” Li Hanchen looked at him calmly.
“Okay.” Li An moved towards Li Hanchen.
Li Hanchen reached his hand out and took Li An’s chopsticks before he said, “You aren’t allowed to eat anymore. You have to control your food intake.”
A cold light swept across Li Hanchen’s eyes as he spoke. Despite Li An’s status as a young master of the Li family, no one cooked for him, so he did not have regular meals. From a tender age, he had stomach problems, so he could not overeat now.
There was still pork rib sauce on the chopsticks as Li An watched his older brother take them away, and he felt miserable.
Li Hanchen was too much!
Li An was so indignant that he almost cried.
He was unable to grasp a single word his teachers said at school. Now that he was home, he was not allowed to even eat his favorite pork ribs.
Mu Sheng glanced at Li An with his eyes red and explained, “Your older brother is worried that you might get stomach problems.”
Li An’s tears were about to trickle down his eyes when they suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Li Hanchen before looking at Mu Sheng. “Really?”
Judging from how cold Li Hanchen seemed, he certainly did not appear concerned. Since Li An’s sister-in-law was not the sort who lied, Li An blinked as he looked at Li Hanchen while hoping he would admit he was doing this out of concern.
However, Li Hanchen glanced at Li An mildly. “Go tdo your homework.”
Li An went speechless. He was feeling so hopeful inside, but Li Hanchen crushed it completely.
Sure enough, he was overthinking it. His older brother was still the same cold ruthless man.
Li An looked at the piping hot pork ribs on the dining table before he swallowed his misery and quickly ran upstairs
If he could outrun its scent, then he would not be able to smell it or want to eat it!
After dinner, it was almost time for Mu Sheng to stream, so she went upstairs to turn on her computer.
The instant Mu Sheng turned on the platform, she discovered something different about Cat Live today.
In the past, there used to be advertising the moment she turned it on, but there was nothing in sight today.
The home page was a lot cleaner and there were a lot fewer live telecaster recommendations. All the best recommendation slots were given to pretty average live telecasters.
These were the best promotion slots on the platform. In the past, all the main live telecasters would vie for these slots.
The viewership had more than halved in comparison to yesterday.
After she entered her channel, a lot of comments appeared.
[Oh my! Isn’t that God Mu? You are awesome. You were able to defeat entire teams single-handedly, so I came over to check out your gaming.]
[You have no idea what he is capable of. Defeating an entire team is nothing. His true talent lies in destroying the platform. Look at how incredible God Mu is? He single-handedly caused the downfall of Cat Live. Hahaha! He can probably brag about it for the rest of his life.]
[Are you nuts? If you don’t like it, go somewhere else. Why come here to mock him? God Mu, ignore them. Cat Live’s closure has nothing to do with you. Jiang Rou’er is just a sore loser.]
[You are right. God Mu abided by the rules and became Top Star. Jiang Rou’er can victimize herself all she wants. She wanted to leave the platform but wanted to push the blame to someone else. She announced she was leaving the platform in the morning and signed a new contract in the afternoon. It is impossible that she did not plan it.]
