Everyone was waiting for Xie Yizhi to come out and send a notice. Finally, Xie Yizhi sent a message in the group, along with a dragon emoticon, and the message: "Guys, I earned too much yesterday. I have to go spend it today. I'm taking a day off."
——[Is this even human?!!]
——[I'm so angry that I'm laughing. I've never had a host make me this speechless. Hahaha.]
——[When people are extremely speechless, they will just laugh for a moment.]
——[Start the live broadcast!! You can take us with you even when you go out to spend money!]
——[Come on, he's already getting so cocky just as he's about to become popular! What would he be like if he really became famous?]
Actually, Xie Yizhi had really planned to take a day off today. He had bought a train ticket for the evening and would arrive at his hometown, Xie Feng Village, just before early morning. It would be just in time to celebrate his father's birthday at the very beginning of the day. He had nothing to do during the day today and planned to go out and stroll around. He hadn't been out for many days. He wanted to go to the mall, buy some gifts, and take them back.
But with such high popularity today, if he didn't go live and interact with the viewers, Xie Yizhi felt a bit guilty. After all, as the old saying goes, not making money when there's an opportunity is a loss. After thinking it over, before going out, Xie Yizhi still started the live broadcast and decided to do an outdoor live stream today.
——[Brother Xie: Even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump off from here, I won't start the live broadcast to gain even a bit of popularity!]
——[Hehe, so fragrant (meaning he went back on his word).]
Xie Yizhi: "You're being long-winded!"
He went out, took a taxi, and headed straight for the nearby Wanda Plaza. It was almost lunchtime now. Without hesitation, Xie Yizhi went straight up to the food floor on the fourth floor. As soon as he arrived on the fourth floor, he was attracted by the figure of a girl.
The girl was carrying a bag in her hand, dressed very casually. Her top was form-fitting, and her bottom was loose, which highlighted her waistline perfectly. She was also wearing a white hat on her head. Without having to guess, it was obvious that the girl probably hadn't washed her hair before going out. With this kind of outfit, if it were someone else, Xie Yizhi definitely wouldn't have given a second glance. But this girl seemed to be someone who practiced martial arts or fitness. Her posture was excellent, and judging by her height, she was probably almost 1.7 meters tall. Coupled with her fair skin, her overall temperament was even better.
Not only Xie Yizhi, but also the viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned. Xie Yizhi and the viewers in the camera exchanged a smile. This was the unique tacit understanding among men. When they were out shopping together and saw a beautiful girl, they didn't even need to speak. Just a glance at each other could instantly convey what they meant.
——[Is this girl good-looking? (using a colloquial way of asking in Chinese)]
——[Very good-looking!]
——[She's so beautiful even without makeup, and she has a great figure. She's definitely extremely good-looking!]
——[Host, we came here to eat. Stop looking! Eh?? Why is she looking over here too?]
The girl suddenly turned around, which startled Xie Yizhi. He instinctively turned around. But unexpectedly, the girl walked straight towards him. When she got closer, she opened her mouth and said, "Xie Yizhi! It's you, right? Don't you recognize me?"
——[Come on, you actually know each other! Then why are you hiding?]
Xie Yizhi was also taken aback. He carefully examined the girl's face and finally recognized her.
"Tan Yuxi?" Xie Yizhi called out her name with some difficulty. This girl was his high school classmate. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and he didn't expect to meet her here today. If she could call out his name, but he couldn't call out hers, it would be a bit embarrassing.
"Something's not right... I remember you didn't look like this before." Xie Yizhi looked Tan Yuxi up and down. Except for her facial features and eyebrows, both her figure and temperament were completely different. He even instinctively spread his hands to gesture. Before, Tan Yuxi's weight was at least two to three times what it was now, and her skin was also very dark. Had she really transformed into such a beautiful woman?
"After graduating from high school, my uncle transferred me to a police academy. As I kept training, I lost weight," Tan Yuxi scratched her head and explained.
No wonder they said that fat people were full of potential. It was almost like she had completely transformed from her old self.
"Then have you graduated now?" Xie Yizhi asked.
"No, I'm probably a year behind you guys. I'm currently interning at the city police station," Tan Yuxi replied. Before Xie Yizhi could speak, she continued, "What about you? Have you become an internet celebrity now? Your life is going well, right?"
"You gained so many followers overnight."
Xie Yizhi was stunned for a moment. He was holding a phone stand in his hand, so it was easy to tell that he was doing a live broadcast. But how did Tan Yuxi know about the increase in followers last night? This was a bit strange.
It wasn't very convenient to catch up while standing here. So Xie Yizhi suggested finding a restaurant and treating her to a meal. But Tan Yuxi said that she had just finished eating.
"Let's exchange contact information. I'll treat you next time."
"I have something to do today. I have to go downstairs to get revenge now!" Tan Yuxi said angrily.
"What kind of revenge?" Xie Yizhi asked in confusion.
Tan Yuxi then explained that before she had her meal, she had been playing the sandbag-throwing game in the doll store on the third floor. As a result, she had suffered a loss. She had spent fifty or sixty yuan but hadn't managed to knock down any dolls. This made her, a person from a police academy, feel extremely humiliated. It was as if her aim was off, and she just couldn't stand it.
"I was so angry that I even ate the bullfrog with its bones!" Tan Yuxi became more and more angry as she spoke. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her nostrils flared. As a beautiful girl with good temperament, her expression management completely collapsed.
——[Okay, everyone can leave now. Beautiful girls really can be quite unconventional sometimes.]
"The main thing is that I clearly hit the dolls, but they just didn't fall down."
"I think there might be something wrong with that shelf," Tan Yuxi added.
This kind of game was quite common. You could often see it in some parks or in the arcade areas of shopping malls. There were layers of shelves with various plush dolls placed on them. Then you needed to throw sandbags from a certain distance to hit the dolls on the shelves. If you knocked a doll down, you could get the same doll as a prize. If you reached a certain number of dolls knocked down, you could play with other toys or get a big plush doll. The general audience for this game was children and... girls.
"How about... you come with me to take a look? I remember you were really good at shooting hoops before," Tan Yuxi thought for a moment and looked at Xie Yizhi.
"Sure, I'll go take a look." Xie Yizhi had plenty of time anyway, and it would be okay to go and watch. Otherwise, he didn't know what to broadcast in the live stream.
Although it was an outdoor live broadcast, perhaps because the content of the program was far from being as explosive as last night's, there were only a lot of viewers at the beginning of the live broadcast. Slowly, the number of viewers had stabilized at around 2000 people. However, this was still about ten times more than before.
Tan Yuxi walked ahead with a huff, her small figure full of determination. Anyway, she had a strong presence. When she saw the entrance of the doll store, she charged straight in.
When the bald boss saw Tan Yuxi come back, he grinned and came up to her: "Miss, you're here again. Did you bring in some backup?"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xie Yizhi. When he noticed that the phone stand in Xie Yizhi's hand indicated that he was doing a live broadcast, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Sorry, young man. We don't allow filming here."
Originally, Xie Yizhi hadn't seen anything wrong. But when the bald boss said this, it made him feel a bit like the saying "a guilty person gives himself away by protesting his innocence too much." In a regular shopping mall, there was no reason not to allow filming.
"Then you're also filming me, aren't you?" Xie Yizhi pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling and retorted.
