Chapter 3

After a blissful breakfast, Lin Xi left first because she had a morning meeting with her employees.

Seeing that there was still time, Chen Che decisively packed his luggage.

If he could save it, he would. At this moment, he no longer wanted to rent this place. Moreover, even if he rented it, he did not have a single cent.

As for where he would live in the future, he did not care at all.

At most, he’ll sleep on the streets. Anyway, it was just a year. It would pass after enduring it.

The screen of the live broadcast room was still on Chen Che’s side. After all, compared to Lin Xi’s side, Chen Che’s side was obviously more interesting.

There were many ways to gain popularity, and being despised was one of them. The organizers knew this very well.

At this moment, the live broadcast room was still filled with discussions. They did not understand what Chen Che was up to.

Half an hour later, Chen Che finally packed his personal belongings and filled two large suitcases.

At this moment, the plump landlady arrived.

Seeing this, Chen Che hurriedly said, “Sister Liu, you came at the right time. I’m not renting this house anymore.”

“I’ve already guessed it.” The auntie waved her phone. “I’m also watching your show. With your CEO’s girlfriend, my $500 small place really doesn’t match you!”

“Sister Liu, you must be joking. Actually, I don’t want to move either. I can only blame myself for being short of money.” Chen Che chuckled.

“Come on, I’ve been through this before. Don’t I know what you’re thinking? Don’t you just want to live with Lin Xi?” The auntie smiled meaningfully and continued, “But Chen Che, haste makes waste. Don’t make Lin Xi unhappy.”

“Good luck. To be honest, I’m quite optimistic about the two of you. I wish you all the best!”

Chen Che scratched his head awkwardly. Only then did he realize that he had been misunderstood.

However, he was too lazy to explain. As the saying goes, a righteous person is not afraid of a crooked shadow!

“Thank you for your blessings, Sister Liu. I’ll take my leave first. I’ll leave the keys on the table for you!” Chen Che did not dawdle any longer and left with his suitcase.

Everyone in the live-stream was enlightened by the landlady’s words.

[This guy checked out of a rented room to find the goddess? Isn’t he too shameless?]

[That’s right. Why didn’t you inform the goddess first?]

[I’ve seen many freeloaders, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone in such a hurry to eat!]

[Seriously, can this pauper be any more disgusting?]

[I pray that the goddess won’t agree! I don’t want him to taint the goddess!]

…

Just as the netizens were discussing, Lin Xi, who had just finished her morning meeting, was also watching.

Under the advice of the landlady and the netizens, she also felt that Chen Che had this goal.

Although she was not disgusted, wasn’t this too fast?

The sudden addition of a man to the house made Lin Xi very nervous, even though it was Chen Che.

After closing the live broadcast room, Lin Xi called Chen Che’s number. She wanted to tell Chen Che tactfully that she was not ready.

However, after thinking about it, she did not call him in the end. She really did not know how to speak.

At the same time, Chen Che dragged his suitcase to the supermarket where he had bought noodles. He planned to leave his luggage here first.

As he often came here to buy things, the boss was familiar with Chen Che and naturally would not reject him.

After storing his luggage, Chen Che no longer felt burdened and happily prepared to go to work.

At this moment, the netizens were completely confused.

[Why did this kid store his luggage at the store? Shouldn’t he contact Lin Xi?]

[Please, Lin Xi is still at work, and he has to work too. He probably has to wait until after work!]

[No, that’s not right. Is this kid trying to hurt himself?]

[That makes sense. He’s deliberately acting pitiful and waiting for the goddess to take the initiative to speak. This way, he can retain his dignity!]

[What the f*ck, he’s playing the art of war?]

[Did we misunderstand? Maybe he didn’t want to look for the goddess?]

[Impossible! That must be what he thinks! Not only is he a bootlicker, but he’s also a sinister villain!]

When the organizers of the real-time monitoring saw this, they hurriedly started the quiz again.

[Did Chen Che really check out to live with Lin Xi?]

[Yes vs. No]

Unlike the previous topic, there was a difference in the voting this time, but the majority still chose ‘yes’.

Accompanied by Chen Che’s romantic opening and now his mysterious actions, the popularity of the live-stream quickly warmed up.

Compared to the others, everyone suddenly realized that Chen Che’s side was more interesting, even though they were gnashing their teeth!

There was a saying that went, ‘If you don’t look at it for a day, you’ll feel uncomfortable for a day!’

At the same time, Lin Xi opened the live-stream again and paid close attention.

A few minutes later, Chen Che arrived at the bike-sharing station. This was his daily transportation to work.

As usual, Chen Che took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

The next second, he suddenly remembered that he was penniless!

The VJ was also very professional. Seizing this opportunity, the camera quickly zoomed in on the phone interface.

When he saw that the balance interface was 0, the live-stream erupted again.

[F*ck, f*ck, this guy doesn’t have a single cent!]

[Could the five dollars he spent at the supermarket be all his savings?]

[I’m really impressed. How did he become so poor?]

[I thought I was miserable enough. I didn’t expect someone to be worse off than me!]

[You’re wrong. He’s not as miserable as you. He has a goddess!]

[F*ck, this is too heartbreaking. Wuwuwu…]

Lin Xi, who was sitting in the office, also frowned. Even if he had to subsidize his family every month, he shouldn’t be penniless, right?

Could it be that Chen Che had encountered some difficulties recently?

Not only that, but at this moment, Lin Xi no longer felt that Chen Che had revoked his lease to live with her. It was more likely that he had no money!

At this moment, Chen Che put away his phone with a bitter smile.

Now, he finally understood what it meant to be unable to defeat a hero with a single cent.

However, Chen Che quickly adjusted his emotions and thought to himself, Since that’s the case, I’ll save it until the end.

Even if he had money in the future, he would not spend it. The more he saved, the more money he would earn in a year.

Although not using a bicycle could not save much money, it was still better than nothing. A little here and there adds up!

After making up his mind, Chen Che looked at the time and walked to the side to start stretching.

[What is this guy trying to do now?]

[Damn it, I’m going to be late if I look at him so early in the morning!]

[This guy’s operation is getting more and more confusing! I don’t even want to turn it off!]

[Is he going to rob someone?]

[Committing a crime for a few dollars? It’s not necessary, right?]

Looking at the bullet screen in the live-stream, Lin Xi also became worried. She thought to herself, “Chen Che must not do anything stupid.”

Just as everyone was discussing, Chen Che, who had finished stretching, broke into a run.

VJ was stunned and could not help but mutter, “What the hell is this kid doing?”

It was not until Chen Che left the scene that he snapped back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him with the camera.

However, after all, he was carrying a heavy load and had used all his strength. After chasing for two streets, he could only barely see Chen Che’s back.

Helpless, he could only press down the intercom to ask for help. “Team 7, send a car over. Chen Che is crazy. I really can’t catch up!”
