Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 98 - 99: Let’s Be Scientific

Su Nian sighed. "You’re the one who said to be scientific about this. Wouldn’t it be easier to just check the surveillance footage?"

[Yeah, why not just look at the security footage?]

[But from his description, I get the feeling this isn’t so simple.]

[Maybe the streamer is trying to hint that someone’s poisoning the dog!]

[I think the user above is onto something. I have a puppy too, and it was acting the same way. It turned out my neighbor’s kid kept feeding it random pills, which was causing the strange behavior.]

Su Nian thought for a moment, then her eyes met Li Ye’s. Her gaze was clear and tinged with a languid air, yet it was compelling enough to make one trust her implicitly. "Do you trust me?"

Li Ye was a little confused about the whole surveillance camera idea, but he nodded honestly. "Of course."

"Then do as I say. Go check the footage, and the truth will come out."

But Li Ye’s expression soured. He frowned and asked, "But, Streamer, I don’t have a security camera installed at my place!"

A strange smile played on Su Nian’s lips. ’No camera, huh?’

Li Ye lived in a small alley in a fifth-tier city. His house was nicely decorated, but he didn’t have any security cameras.

Besides, his place wasn’t in a planned residential community. It was relatively remote, so he was lucky to have even a few streetlights. He couldn’t dare to hope for more.

With a calm expression, Su Nian slowly took a bite of a peach. "The girl who just moved in across from you is here to experience small-city life. She has a security camera. You can go ask her if you can take a look."

Li Ye wrapped his arms around himself, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"You’re a true master! I do have a neighbor who just moved in across the street, but I don’t know if they’re a man or a woman."

"I’ll go ask right now!"

[I bet it’s poisoning!]

[I think so too.]

[That poor doggo.]

Some viewers with a penchant for conspiracy theories started speculating.

[What if the culprit is actually the new neighbor?]

[Honestly, I don’t think that’s very likely!]

[The streamer just said she’s here to ’experience life.’ She probably wouldn’t do something like that!]

Holding up his phone, Li Ye went to the house across the street.

Just as he’d said, he lived in a tiny alley with only a handful of streetlights.

Li Ye knocked on the door cautiously. In his mind, he pictured an arrogant city slicker.

Having been born and raised in a small city, he rarely interacted with city folk. In any case, the few encounters he’d had weren’t very pleasant.

CREAK...

The door opened, and contrary to his expectations, the person who answered was a slender, delicate girl. She was fair-skinned and thin, with exquisite, beautiful features that could make anyone fall for her at first sight.

[Whoa, whoa, she’s gorgeous!]

[So exquisite! Such a uniquely fragile air about her!]

[As a guy who can pack away five bowls of rice in one sitting, isn’t she just the perfect ideal type?]

[I hate that I’m a girl! I hate it!]

In truth, when it came to sheer beauty, Su Nian probably had the edge. But Su Nian’s was a more striking, assertive kind of beauty. Her confidence was rooted in her own immense power.

And because she was so formidable, she tended to be nonchalant and unimpressed by almost everything.

It was as if she looked down on the entire world. Aside from basic etiquette and good manners, the word "humility" didn’t seem to be in Su Nian’s vocabulary.

From her occasional Zu’an-style retorts, her family background, and her own abilities, everything about her made the viewers spam "666" in the chat.

But as for having any romantic notions about her, they wouldn’t dare. They knew the gap between them was too vast, and they didn’t want to offer themselves up just to get roasted by Su Nian.

The girl before them, however, was different. Gentle and slender, with an ethereal, elven grace, she inspired a powerful urge to protect her.

The girl shrank back slightly, peeking out with half her head through the crack in the door.

She seemed very guarded; she had even installed a security chain on her small courtyard gate.

Her bright eyes stared intently at the young man who had unexpectedly stumbled into her world.

She didn’t say a word, but even so, it was enough to drive the viewers in the livestream wild.

[So pretty, so pretty! Just trying to absorb some of that beauty!]

[AWOOOO! Why did she have to tilt her head? So cute, I can’t take it!!!]

Meanwhile, Li Ye’s face was beet red. The blush burned its way down his neck to the tips of his ears, and it even felt like his toes were tingling with a pink hue.

"Uh... h-hello. I wanted to ask if you have a security camera?"

Seeing the girl’s strange look, Li Ye hurriedly explained.

"It’s because my dog has been acting really strange lately. I suspect someone might have drugged him, but I don’t have a camera myself, so I came to ask you."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then held her phone out through the crack in the door, displaying her WeChat QR code.

"Add me on WeChat. I’ll send it to you later."

Her voice was soft and sweet, but not in a cloying way. Instead, it had an indescribably refreshing quality.

[So beautiful, and her voice is so nice to listen to!]

[She’s the closest anyone has ever come to the streamer’s level of beauty!]

[She’s pretty, but she can’t shake the streamer’s place in my heart!]

[I’m just thinking, isn’t everyone’s focus a little off? Aren’t we supposed to be talking about the dog?]

The second the girl received Li Ye’s friend request, she pulled her hand back.

"I’ll send it to you in a bit. Goodbye!"

With that, the girl went back inside, all very polite.

But she had taken Li Ye’s heart with her. His eyes remained fixed on the spot where she had disappeared inside.

[Seeing how the camera hasn’t moved for ages, I think I’m starting to get it.]

[He’s 100% smitten!]

[I bet he’s even forgotten about his own dog.]

"Ahem!"

Su Nian faked a cough.

That was what finally pulled his head out of the clouds.

The blush on his face refused to fade. It was as if he were surrounded by tiny pink bubbles.

[Oho, your thoughts aren’t so innocent, are they!]

[I bet it was love at first sight.]

[What about his dog! I just want to know if his dog was poisoned!]

[The user above has a heart of stone.]

It wasn’t until he saw the bullet comments that Li Ye remembered he should first check the link the girl sent.

But first, he decided to check her WeChat Moments. There was nothing. Her profile picture was normal, too—it probably wasn’t a matching couples’ icon.

Then, he turned to Su Nian with a serious expression. "Heavenly Venerate, my goddess... she doesn’t have a boyfriend, right?"

Su Nian: ???

In just a few short minutes, she had been upgraded to "goddess."

[I’m dying of laughter!]

[Have you forgotten your little dog by Daming Lake?]

[Hahahaha, I can’t stop laughing! Fam, who gets me?!]

Su Nian pressed a hand to her forehead, momentarily speechless at his bizarre train of thought.

"Your dog... have you forgotten about him?!"

"I haven’t forgotten!"

Li Ye declared indignantly, then his expression turned sheepish.

"That’s why I’m helping him right now! I’m finding him his future poop-scooper number two, aren’t I?"
