I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 155: Give Me a Kiss

Soon, the driver brought Shen Zhiyao to her destination.

Shen Zhiyao got out and was about to pay the fare, but the driver said, "No need. Consider it my divination fee for the reading you gave me."

Shen Zhiyao grabbed her payment QR code from the car and sent the money to the driver. "Your financial luck is already just average. How could I take advantage of you? Please, take it!"

Shen Zhiyao’s words were kind, but they sounded a bit heartbreaking to the driver.

’I guess I’m just not destined to be rich in this lifetime,’ he thought.

The cruise ship the production team had chosen was luxurious. It had a total of sixteen private rooms, a kitchen, a KTV lounge, and communal bathrooms, looking just like a large villa.

When Shen Zhiyao arrived, Zhou Ye, Meng Xiaoxiao, Zhao Jing, and Sun Yingbin were already there.

The moment she saw Sun Yingbin, Shen Zhiyao knew he hadn’t taken her advice to stay by his son’s side and protect him.

’It seems his son can’t avoid a bloody disaster after all,’ she thought.

This time, when Shen Zhiyao arrived, everyone’s attitude toward her had softened considerably.

Zhao Jing also made a point to introduce Shen Zhiyao on camera, even humorously mentioning how Shen Zhiyao had "cursed" the show to have a rough start.

Sun Yingbin also stood up and shook hands with Shen Zhiyao.

Although he didn’t say a word to her, his high status in the industry meant this small gesture showed just how much he valued her.

Zhou Ye was also stunned by the sight of Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao had watched him transform from an ugly duckling into a swan, but he had dumped her as soon as his career took off.

Now, seeing her shining so brightly, he couldn’t help but stand up to greet her.

He rose and pulled out the chair next to him, about to invite Shen Zhiyao to sit down.

But Meng Xiaoxiao quickly jumped up, hugged Shen Zhiyao’s arm, and said with a grin, "Yaoyao, come sit with me! I’m a huge fan!"

"Mmm~ I wanna cuddle with a beauty~" Meng Xiaoxiao nuzzled her head against Shen Zhiyao. Catching a unique fragrance on her, she smiled fawningly. "Whoa, you smell so good!"

Shen Zhiyao burst out laughing at her antics and pulled out a chair to sit next to Meng Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Ye had already pulled out the chair, but Shen Zhiyao didn’t sit there.

No one came to save him from the awkwardness, and he felt his face flush.

He then sat down by himself and laughed awkwardly. "Haha, the air is better over here, so I’ll just sit here."

Last time, Meng Xiaoxiao had shared Shen Zhiyao’s umbrella, which saved her from being killed by hail. Now that Shen Zhiyao was here, her opinion of her had improved significantly.

She leaned in and whispered into Shen Zhiyao’s ear, "You vixen, how are you so gorgeous? I liked you the moment I saw you. But I’m also so jealous! Anyway, I’ve got some juicy gossip recently. Give me a little kiss and I’ll share a big scoop with you."

Meng Xiaoxiao’s voice was so low that only the two of them could hear.

Shen Zhiyao just smiled faintly. "So, are you going to tell me or not?"

"Gimme a kiss and I’ll tell~"

"No kisses."

Seeing how serious she was, Meng Xiaoxiao straightened up. "Alright, fine. Have you heard? That idiot Zhou Lun got sent to jail the day after he issued his clarification."

"Thank goodness the short series I was supposed to film with him hadn’t started yet. If it had, all that work would have been for nothing."

"And did you know? After Zhou Lun’s downfall, Joy Entertainment brought in someone else with connections. This guy’s background is supposedly rock-solid. The director rejected him multiple times, but he still ended up on the show."

"I heard the guy walks around with a constant scowl, like the world owes him a hundred billion. We should definitely stay away from him."

Meng Xiaoxiao was a cheerful and chatty girl. Whenever she saw a pretty girl, she would grab them and talk endlessly.

The audience watching the livestream couldn’t hear what they were saying, but the sight of two beautiful girls chatting was especially pleasing to the eye.

Just then, the male artist from Joy Entertainment who was replacing Zhou Lun finally made his grand entrance, boarding the second deck of the cruise ship and stepping into the camera’s frame.

The first thing that came into view was a tall, slender back. He was wearing a light blue shirt paired with black casual trousers.

Then, the camera slowly zoomed in. When it focused on his face, the girls in the livestream chat instantly started screaming:

[AHHHH! HOLY SHIT, THIS GUY IS FUCKING NUWA’S MASTERPIECE, ISN’T HE?]

[HOLY SHIT, are all people with connections this stunning? First Shen Zhiyao, and now this guy. Damn, he’s so gorgeous it’s unreal!]

[I heard he only got in through connections and was all ready to hate on him, but seeing how good-looking he is, I’m a fan now.]

[DAMMIT, can you guys not be so shallow?! When our streamer had no status, a bunch of people flamed her, but now no one’s flaming this guy! This is so unfair!]

[That was because that shit-stirrer Zhou Lun insisted on leading his fans to flame your streamer. Crying about it here is useless. If you’ve got the guts, go to the prison and slap Zhou Lun a couple of times!]

When Shen Zhiyao’s gaze turned toward him, she froze.

Chen Yan!

’Why is it him?’

As her eyes fell on him, Chen Yan’s gaze met hers.

Their eyes locked, and Chen Yan smiled faintly.

In that instant, even the vast seascape behind him paled in comparison.

Zhao Jing reacted quickly. She was the first to walk up, shake Chen Yan’s hand, and introduce him. "This is Chen Yan. He’ll be replacing Zhou Lun and joining us overseas for the next two weeks of filming."

Chen Yan smiled gently and gave a brief introduction of himself for the camera.

After Chen Yan finished, Zhao Jing teased, "The moment Chen Yan appeared, all the other male guests were instantly overshadowed. If I weren’t married, my dream would probably be to marry you, haha."

Chen Yan had been in many crowded situations and had a wealth of life experience, but this was his first time in front of entertainment industry cameras, and it felt a little awkward.

To the audience, however, his demeanor just made him look shy.

[WHOA, he’s such a pretty boy! He’s blushing! It makes you just want to protect him!]

[DAMN, I’m too old to be getting spoiled with such good content. I wish I were ten years younger right now.]

Forget the regular audience; even Meng Xiaoxiao, who had acted alongside many handsome men, couldn’t help but comment, "Didn’t they say he walks around with a scowl all day? He doesn’t seem like it. He has such a sweet, boy-next-door look. It’s kind of cute. Makes me want to protect him, too."

"Heh!" Shen Zhiyao gave an awkward twitch of her lips. ’What is that vixen thinking? Feel protective of him? She’s clearly never seen Chen Yan kill someone without batting an eye.’

There were seven seats set up on the deck. The director was occupying one, so the only empty spot was next to Zhou Ye.

Chen Yan had no choice but to sit next to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye extended his hand for a handshake, but Chen Yan completely ignored him.

Chen Yan’s gaze swept over him coolly.

That one glance was enough for Zhou Ye to feel a wave of hostility, and the greeting he had prepared got stuck in his throat.

The camera kept panning over to them.

Chen Yan’s looks were simply otherworldly. Sitting next to him, Zhou Ye looked like a handsome homeless man by comparison.

The livestream audience instantly burst out laughing:

[I used to think Zhou Ye was handsome, that I was right to be his fan. But seeing him next to Chen Yan, I suddenly feel like Zhou Ye is actually really ugly!]
