Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Originally, Jiang Yan had to livestream for over six hours every day. But now that her popularity had grown, the platform updated her contract. Not only did her salary increase, but her treatment improved as well. Her livestream time was reduced to a minimum of four hours, and she could take a few days off each month.
This change was extremely favorable for Jiang Yan, but it was bad news for her fans. Now, every time she livestreamed, she could see her fans\' comments lamenting and raging. However, it didn\'t affect her much. What made her alert was Fu Yan\'s attitude.
She didn\'t know when it started, but by the time Jiang Yan noticed, Fu Yan had already made up his mind. Even when Jiang Yan subtly mentioned that they were not truly a couple, Fu Yan calmly continued his pursuit.
His courtship methods were not flamboyant, only bearing the uniqueness of a young master, with an attitude that could even be described as considerate. To the extent that Jiang Yan didn\'t know how to respond.
In the eyes of others, they had already been together, and their behavior was seen as displays of affection. As a result, the belief that their relationship was going well grew stronger and stronger.
So, this task was the highlight. She had to design a shocking plan that would make Fu Yan want to break up after hearing it.
After struggling for several days, Jiang Yan finally came up with a plan with full confidence and made a video call to Fu Yan. After all, to ask for something, she needed to show an attitude, so she unconsciously opened her mouth and called out, "Babe."
Fu Yan seemed to have just taken a shower, holding a towel and drying his short hair. When he looked at Jiang Yan, he couldn\'t help but smile, "What\'s going on? Your mouth is so sweet today."
"I want to tell you something," Jiang Yan set the stage, already prepared for him to be cold.
"Go ahead, quite formal," Fu Yan commented in a low voice.
"I want you to collude with me in creating some hype..." Even though she had prepared for a long time, it was still difficult to say it out loud. Jiang Yan instinctively avoided looking into Fu Yan\'s eyes.
Fu Yan seemed stunned for a moment, but then as if he had restrained himself, he calmly asked, "Why do you want to create hype?"
She was waiting for him to ask that. Without thinking, a long string of lines she had prepared poured out of Jiang Yan\'s mouth, "For traffic and money! You\'re a young master, you don\'t understand. We people will do anything for traffic. I\'m pursuing you because you\'re powerful and have a lot of fans, but now my fans have hit a bottleneck, so I thought..."
Fu Yan never expected her to disparage herself like that. When she first brought it up, he was going to agree. But he was perceptive and noticed something was off, so he continued to question her along her line of thinking, and she eagerly explained everything.
Fu Yan had studied psychology, so it was easy for him to deduce her underlying intention from her language. Because Jiang Yan\'s performance was too obvious, her words implied that she wanted to end this relationship.
"You\'ll do anything for traffic?" Fu Yan suddenly asked, his voice clear and cold, as if he was angry at the shamelessness of the content.
"Yes," Jiang Yan earnestly nodded, thinking the task would soon be completed, only needing Fu Yan to propose a breakup.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yan changed his expression, his peach blossom eyes narrowing with obvious malice, "What if I asked you to accompany me for a day?"
To make him give up, Jiang Yan cautiously nodded.
Receiving the answer he wanted, Fu Yan suddenly curled his lips and slowly replied, "Okay."
Okay? Okay for what? Okay to create hype!
While Jiang Yan called out to the system in her mind, Fu Yan had already asked intimidatingly, "How do you want to create hype? Tell me."
"Um, you have to pretend to really like me, but I treat you badly, so you\'re hurt, but you still really like me..." Jiang Yan stammered, having almost forgotten what she had prepared. Mainly because she didn\'t expect Fu Yan to agree, catching her off guard.
Upon hearing it, Fu Yan couldn\'t help but laugh, "So you like me to be like that."
In any case, due to Fu Yan\'s contrary decision, they had to start creating hype. As for the system, it went to check again and again. Jiang Yan could only stubbornly go along with it.
So, in the following days, fans on the livestreaming platform witnessed a show.
First, the wealthy young master Fu Yan spared no expense for Jiang Yan, relentlessly showering her with gifts during her PK battles, using his immense wealth to send her to the top of the gift leaderboard for livestreamers.
Then, Jiang Yan\'s attitude towards Fu Yan was indifferent, as if she didn\'t truly like him. Meanwhile, Fu Yan inadvertently revealed during his livestream that his efforts were never rewarded, and Jiang Yan didn\'t love him.
But Fu Yan still connected with Jiang Yan every day, constantly calling her "wife" and "babe," and persistently showered her with gifts...
Fans sympathized with this wealthy young master who couldn\'t buy love with money, until later, they slowly realized that their unshakable daily routine—Fu constantly lamenting, showering gifts, and Jiang coldly brushing him off and being indifferent—seemed off.
Some raised objections:
["Why do I feel like they\'re creating hype?"]
["Alas, it\'s just a lovers\' trick, why do you believe it?"]
["I knew it, they\'ve just changed how they show affection."]
With this hype, Jiang Yan\'s fan base doubled again, and almost everyone online knew the story of that livestreaming couple.
The system\'s judgment finally came: "It\'s not your fault, it\'s Fu Yan\'s abnormal behavior."
"So the task is complete? Are we leaving?" Jiang Yan asked.
But the system said, "No, we need to stay in this world for a while to examine the world\'s characters. You have no tasks during this period, arrange it yourself, but don\'t break character."
Originally thinking she could leave immediately, Jiang Yan was about to cry. She had also agreed to something with Fu Yan, and the system didn\'t allow her to break character. Oh no!
Despite her worries, Jiang Yan couldn\'t escape Fu Yan\'s urging. After all, being a prestigious young master, she was afraid of retaliation if she didn\'t go, so she dejectedly went to the address of the parlor.
A fluffy knitted hat, a cream-yellow long down coat, lazy slightly curled long hair, an exquisite pretty face without a trace of a smile.
Fu Yan recognized her at a glance, suddenly feeling like his heart was made of sugar that would melt upon seeing Jiang Yan, dissolving into a pool of sweet honey that left him at a loss.
But Fu Yan was still Fu Yan, carrying out everything with the unique bearing of a young master.
He had booked the entire place today.
He sat on the sofa inside, waving his hand and calling out to her, "Come here."
