Chapter 8: Life is Hard, the Young Lady is Selling Her Art

After their walk, Tu Yuan returned to her room.

Her room had been completely transformed.

The deep blue curtains had been replaced with a gentle, soft green. The black carpet had been replaced with white, and the black coffee table had been replaced with white.

A few blooming “Scratching Beauty Face” flowers were in the glass vase.

The room, previously just a plain guest room, now had a touch of girlish charm.

Who said Xie Yinhe was dull and rigid? He understood girls so well!

Tu Yuan grabbed her phone, saved Xie Yinhe’s number, and then added him on WeChat.

Xie Yinhe’s profile picture was a red-crowned crane flying in the blue sky.

The red-crowned crane is a lucky bird, symbolizing longevity, good fortune, and elegance.

Sometimes it also represents power and status.

It was quite fitting for Xie Yinhe.

She suddenly realized that both her name and Xie Yinhe’s were birds.

“Yuan” sounded gentle, but it was actually a bird of prey.

So, don’t be fooled by her gentle appearance, she’s actually quite fierce.

“Awoo~”

“Awoo~”

Tu Yuan stared at her fingers, raised her paw, but couldn’t reach anyone, and awkwardly put it down.

For the next few days, Tu Yuan stayed home, recuperating and waiting for deliveries.

Xie Yinhe was very busy with work, coming and going early and late. Although they lived on the same floor, sometimes they wouldn’t see each other all day.

When she woke up, Xie Yinhe was already gone.

In the evenings, he was out entertaining clients and rarely came back to have dinner with her.

The 7 pm curfew was a killer.

Thankfully, her live streaming equipment arrived.

Tu Yuan had dinner and then went back to her room to set up her equipment. At 7 pm, she started streaming.

She asked Aunt Wang for a guitar and played it at home, singing songs.

She didn’t know what to stream to go viral. Live streaming was so competitive, there were so many people, she had to take it step by step.

Tu Yuan saw someone enter her live stream and greeted them with a smile, but then the person left.

Uh…

She did the same thing too. When she accidentally entered a live stream with few viewers, the streamer would call out her name and welcome her, and she would awkwardly leave.

She wouldn’t do that anymore.

Someone else came in, and she continued playing the guitar.

【So cold~】

“I’m not…”

They left again.

She wasn’t cold!

She could be salty or sweet, and she could tell jokes too.

She had collected jokes specifically for live streaming.

She didn’t know why she collected jokes though.

【Tu Yuan?】

【Wow, the young lady is selling her art, there’s no one here, how long will it take to pay back the money you owe to YH!】

【When are you going to auction off your villa? I’ll buy it then!】

This tone sounded a bit like Song Yinxi.

Song Yinxi didn’t leave and continued to spam the chat.

A sports car appeared on the screen, and Tu Yuan gave a finger heart, “Thank you Tortoise Running Slowly for the sports car.”

As the gift was sent, the live stream became more lively.

【Come watch the young lady sell her art.】

【Wow! Tu Yuan!!】

【She’s a real young lady!】

【I heard your brother lives in the basement, how come you’re living in such a luxurious place? Are you being kept?】

【Wow, which brother is hiding so deep, secretly keeping you.】

【Jiang Feiyang?】

【It’s not me, I didn’t!】

Tu Yuan looked at the chat, everyone who entered her live stream was someone she knew in real life, including Jiang Feiyang.

He was lurking.

【The streamer said the top 1 on Douyin can request a song, can you really request any song you want?】

“Yes, as long as I know how to play it.”

【If you don’t know, learn it!】

The person sent a Douyin top 1 gift.

“Thank you, big brother.”

【Play Neon.】

One second Tu Yuan was still smiling, the next second she couldn’t smile anymore.

That song was difficult, her fingers would cramp.

【You don’t know? Then give me my money back.】

She hadn’t even received the money yet, what was she supposed to use to give it back?

“I’ll try.”

Tu Yuan searched for the guitar sheet music on her new phone, “I’m starting.”

【She’s really playing it!】

【This is hilarious, the dignified young lady is actually selling her art on a live stream.】

【Tu Yuan, you’re so pathetic, I’m a little embarrassed to make fun of you.】

【But I’ll tell more of my friends to come watch you, to increase your traffic!】

At the same time, Si Yun saw the live stream his brother had sent on his phone and went to Xie Yinhe, “CEO, look.”

Xie Yinhe was chatting with foreign partners, he glanced at it casually, then immediately took the phone and his dark, deep eyes were fixed on the screen.

On the screen, Tu Yuan was playing the guitar, her nose slightly red, but she smiled and thanked the person who sent the gift.

There weren’t many people in the live stream.

But the chat was flying fast.

【The young lady who used to be high and mighty, now you can make her thank you for sending a gift! I’m her grandpa!】

【Okay, okay, have fun, don’t report the live stream, it’s like raising an electronic pet.】

【Young lady, how much money can you make from live streaming, why don’t you come with me?】

【What do you mean come with you? Didn’t you see her luxurious live stream background? She’s already being kept.】

【Bullshit, you don’t know anything about live streaming, that’s all the company’s decoration, packaging, in reality, she lives in a basement with her brother, the kind without even a bathroom.】

【Will the top 1 come to meet in person?】

【How much do you have to spend to add her on WeChat?】

【Will you send photos?】

【She’s really struggling, she’s making money with her own hands, can you men not be so disgusting!】

【You play so well! Miss Tu, you’re the best!!】

【This song is only found in heaven, it’s rare to hear it on earth! Good!】

This tone looked like Si Feng’s.

“CEO, why is Miss Tu secretly live streaming at home?” Si Yun asked softly, “Did you forget to give her a card?”

They provided her with food, clothing, housing, but no money.

Xie Yinhe had been busy entertaining foreign clients recently and forgot about it.

Aunt Wang said Tu Yuan hadn’t gone out these past few days and had been staying home quietly.

It’s true that when a child is quiet, they’re definitely up to something.

“Miss Tu must feel very uncomfortable seeing those chat messages.”

Even Si Yun felt uncomfortable, let alone Tu Yuan herself.

Suddenly, the live stream went black.

It showed that the streamer was suspected of violating regulations and was being rectified.

What was going on?

Playing the guitar could violate regulations?

Xie Yinhe gave the phone back to Si Yun, said a few words to the client, and then got up to leave.

On the way back, Xie Yinhe stared at Tu Yuan’s live stream. After being suspected of violating regulations, she didn’t go live anymore.

Half an hour later, Xie Yinhe returned home.

Even though she was used to Xie Yinhe’s usual cold face, his cold aura tonight made her afraid to approach him.

“Xiao Yun, what happened?”

“Aunt Wang, did Miss Tu cry tonight?”

“I don’t know, she was practicing guitar upstairs, I thought it sounded pretty good.”

It seemed Aunt Wang didn’t know about Tu Yuan’s live streaming.

“What’s wrong? What happened? The young master is angry because of Miss Tu.”

“Miss Tu didn’t go out either!”

Aunt Wang didn’t understand.

Si Yun shrugged.

He didn’t know what Xie Yinhe was thinking either.

Upstairs, Xie Yinhe stood at the door of Tu Yuan’s room.

Knock knock.

Two knocks.

“Coming!”

With Tu Yuan’s voice, the door opened.

She was wearing a nude pink nightgown and a silk robe, her long hair was freshly blown, her slightly red eyes showed a smile, “Brother Xie, good evening!”

“Didn’t you cry?” Xie Yinhe leaned down slightly, meeting her watery apricot eyes, “So you did cry.”
