Chapter 6 Lin Shutong's Inner Hesitation

" Chen Yuan, where on earth did you get so much money?" Lin Shutong quickly sent a message to inquire.

"Oh! Our house got demolished, and we received compensation in the form of over a dozen apartments!" Chen Yuan casually came up with an excuse.

"So that's the case. But even if there was a demolition, you still shouldn't squander money like this!"

"Shutong, I'm willing to do anything for you!"

Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Chen Yuan sent a message typical of a "bootlicker."

In his eyes now, Lin Shutong was a complete "green - tea girl." If you don't like someone, why go and lead them on? Only when the other person decides to pursue you do you start making all sorts of excuses. Are you just enjoying the feeling of being chased? Damn it!

"Chen Yuan, please don't act like this. I'm really in a difficult spot..."

This time, instead of replying to Lin Shutong, Chen Yuan turned to chat with Xu Lele.

"Beauty Lele, how about I invite you to have a meal tomorrow?"

"Ah! Tomorrow? I've already made an appointment with my best friend to get our nails done tomorrow!"

"Then never mind."

"Sorry about that!"

As a girl who had a whopping 84 points of favorable impression towards Chen Yuan, she was actually quite eager to go on a date with him. But as a girl, it was necessary to be a bit reserved sometimes. Otherwise, if a man gets something too easily, he won't cherish it. Moreover, she and Chen Yuan had known each other for such a short time that she didn't want to rush the relationship.

Of course, Chen Yuan wasn't really desperate to go on a date either. He just wanted to take the opportunity to spend the "bootlicker money" and enjoy some sumptuous meals. Since you're not willing, then I'll just find someone else to "bootlick"! Anyway, it doesn't matter who I "bootlick" as long as I can spend the money.

...

Speaking of which, since Chen Yuan didn't reply to Lin Shutong, she was sitting there, staring blankly at her phone. She was pondering whether to accept the 50,000 - yuan transfer from Chen Yuan. In fact, her mother wasn't sick at all. If she took this 50,000 yuan, it would essentially be a form of fraud. Usually, accepting some small favors was fine, but 50,000 yuan was a large amount. If she took it, it would be hard to explain. Besides, she had just broken up with Chen Yuan today. If she really accepted it, wouldn't it seem too greedy?

Just then, Lin Shutong's best friend, Sun Rui, walked over.

"Shutong, who's this generous person? They sent you a 50,000 - yuan transfer red envelope. Is it Huang Junkai?"

"It's not Huang Junkai. It's Chen Yuan. Ruirui, what do you think I should do?" Lin Shutong looked at Sun Rui, looking rather troubled.

"Chen Yuan? That good - for - nothing has so much money? He can actually transfer 50,000 yuan to you?" Sun Rui was quite astonished.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. Today, I broke up with him. Then, when I was out shopping with Junkai, we happened to run into him. He was with Xu Lele from the Art College. I don't know why, but I felt really annoyed. What's worse, Junkai didn't buy me a bag I had my eye on, but Chen Yuan bought it for Xu Lele. I was so angry at that moment!" Lin Shutong grumbled.

"From what you're saying, it seems you're still a bit reluctant to let go of Chen Yuan. But can he compare with Huang Junkai? In terms of looks and family background, there's no comparison. And you've already given your first time to Huang Junkai!"

"But I feel like Junkai is a bit untrustworthy. He never lets me look at his phone, and he hardly ever buys me gifts. He's just good at being romantic and pleasing me. Last time, when I wanted to check his phone, he got so angry that he even threatened to break up with me. I was so mad that I agreed to Chen Yuan's confession. But after all these things, I've realized that Chen Yuan is actually better to me. And his family's house got demolished, and they got over a dozen apartments!"

"Ah! It got demolished? No wonder. I didn't expect Chen Yuan to be a dark - horse in a way!"

Sun Rui started to feel a bit envious and jealous. She thought that her looks and figure were only slightly inferior to Lin Shutong's. So why couldn't she meet someone like this? Especially Chen Yuan, who was so infatuated, loyal, and now had over a dozen apartments. He seemed much more reliable than Huang Junkai!

"Shutong, my advice is that you don't rush to make a decision. Keep observing. Since Chen Yuan has transferred money to you, you can accept it first. If he asks for it back later, you can just return it. But I think you shouldn't treat him the way you used to. At least leave yourself an option. As for Huang Junkai, I think you're too submissive in front of him, and you might end up getting hurt!"

"Got it!" Lin Shutong nodded.

At this moment, Lin Shutong sent a message to Huang Junkai.

"Junkai, my mom is sick and in the hospital. Can you lend me some money?"

"Ah! She's sick and in the hospital? How serious is it? You should have told me earlier!"

"Junkai, I knew you were the best to me!"

"I have 500 yuan here. I don't know if it's enough. If not, I can try to borrow some more. How about this? I'll go to the hospital with you to see your mom tomorrow and buy some nutritional products." On the surface, Huang Junkai seemed concerned. But upon careful consideration, it was obvious that he was suspicious of her.

Lin Shutong's heart suddenly sank. 500 yuan! Is that all I'm worth in your eyes? She had never let Chen Yuan get too close to her. Yet, with just a word from her, Chen Yuan transferred 50,000 yuan to her without any hesitation. But she had given everything to Huang Junkai, even had an abortion for him, and yet he was dismissing her with just 500 yuan? And he even suspected that she was lying. Although she was indeed lying, she was just trying to test him. But this wasn't the answer she was hoping for. What was even more exasperating was that after sending this message, Huang Junkai didn't even transfer the 500 yuan. He was just talking the talk!

For the first time, Lin Shutong wondered if she had really made a mistake.

...

Let's shift our attention to another place.

In Boys' Dormitory 205

Chen Yuan took a shower. Lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. So he simply opened the Shark Live app. He randomly clicked on a few female streamers in the Beauty category.

"I wonder if I can spend the 'bootlicker money' on tipping female streamers?"

Out of curiosity, Chen Yuan started to recharge. To his surprise, it was successful. Now Chen Yuan was thrilled! Spending money in real life was so difficult. "Bootlicking" a beauty meant having to accompany her shopping, which was exhausting! But "bootlicking" female streamers online was a different story. Spending tens of millions in one night was no big deal. It was highly efficient, and he could switch between different female streamers to send gifts and "bootlick". He could cast a wide net and then focus on the most promising ones!

"Ding! System prompt. Only when the girl selected by the host has a beauty score of over 7.6 points, meeting the minimum goddess standard, can the host receive a bonus rebate after a successful comeback. Female streamers have beauty filters on, and there's a significant difference between their online and real - life appearances. The host needs to judge for themselves!"

"Alright!"

Chen Yuan browsed through more than a dozen female streamers. He found that at least one - third of them seemed to have decent looks with the beauty filters on. There were even several whose scores exceeded 8 points, and one even reached 9 points. However, Chen Yuan had no idea what they actually looked like in real life. Take a relatively famous dancing streamer, Xiaomi'er, for example. She has millions of fans. With the beauty filter on, her beauty score should be between 8.5 and 9 points. I've heard that she even did a live stream without makeup. Presumably, her real - life appearance is also acceptable. The key is that she has an excellent figure and can almost be called the top dancing diva on Shark Live, with an angelic face and a devilish figure. Surely, "bootlicking" such a popular and well - known streamer won't be a bad choice.
