Everyone Loves the Villainous Scumbag [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 27

A message arrived on his phone. It was a message from Qiu, and it said: “Can we exchange contact information? I would like to treat you to a meal.”

The timestamp showed that the message was sent half an hour ago, right when he had gone downstairs to prepare to eat.

Luo Jianghe did not know if Qiu was still online. Upon seeing the message, he immediately replied: “Yes, you can send it to me, and I will add you.”

He had discussed this in the streamer groups before. If the top contributor on the leaderboard invites you to a meal, you can choose to go or not. If you go, an inappropriate relationship might develop. However, if you refuse several times, you might lose your top contributor. This was a tacit rule that everyone understood without saying it aloud.

In this industry, there were far too many instances where the beauty and talent of a streamer were objectified. Luo Jianghe did not think that much about it. He was simply curious about Qiu and wanted to see what she actually looked like. If Qiu wanted to develop a relationship beyond that of a fan and a streamer, he could only accept being good friends. As for anything else, Luo Jianghe was not considering it yet.

If he truly lost his top contributor, he would certainly feel the pain. However, he would never use his body to retain a contributor. Perhaps he was somewhat idealistic, but Luo Jianghe did believe that he could maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with Qiu. He brought joy to Qiu, and Qiu brought profit to him.

Less than ten minutes after Luo Jianghe sent his reply, he received a response from Qiu. Naturally, he added the contact information of Qiu.

The WeChat profile picture of Qiu was a maple tree, the kind that blooms most vibrantly in autumn. It featured red leaves and green grass against a background of a perimeter wall showing a bit of the sky, with white walls and grey bricks.

Luo Jianghe was very interested in Qiu, so he had naturally looked up the meaning of the name. The character for “Qiu” is pronounced the same as “Autumn,” and it has two meanings. One comes from the line “In the south there is a dragon in the mountain pool,” where it refers to a deep pool. The other is “cool as the wind,” meaning cold or lonely.

Luo Jianghe felt that this character was very similar to the feeling Qiu gave off: quiet as a pool of water and solitary as the autumn wind.

After Luo Jianghe added her, she quickly sent him a message: “I originally wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow, but since you are attending a class reunion, I will have to find another opportunity.”

Luo Jianghe asked her: “Are you busy lately? I am basically free every day except for tomorrow.”

Qiu replied quickly: “I have to go abroad on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I might be busy for a while.”

Luo Jianghe thought for a moment and felt that they should meet briefly before she left. “The reunion tomorrow spans quite a long time. I can just make an appearance. It ends at eight in the evening, but I can leave by seven. If you do not mind, we can meet after that. I live in the Y District. Where do you live?”

He was actually curious about her and quite wanted to meet. He had seen the address of Qiu before and knew they were in the same city, but he did not know her specific location.

After receiving the message, it took about five minutes for Qiu to reply: “That works. I also live in the Y District. Let us set a dinner appointment within the district. Is there anything you would like to eat?”

Luo Jianghe rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. “You have given me so many tips. Originally, I should be the one treating you since we are meeting in person.”

Qiu replied: “That small amount of money is nothing. As long as you are happy, that is all that matters.”

Seeing these lines of text, Luo Jianghe felt somewhat moved. An older sister who would give you money, provide emotional value, and have absolutely no demands—what a wonderful person!

He did not wait and responded immediately: “I am fine with anything. Just find the food you want to eat. It is just that I might only be able to make it there by seven or eight tomorrow evening. Do we need to move the time to noon?”

Qiu replied: “No, I have meetings tomorrow morning. Do you have any dietary restrictions?”

Luo Jianghe: “I cannot eat things that are particularly spicy.”

Qiu: “Alright, I will handle it. I will send you the address tomorrow at noon.”

Luo Jianghe: “Okay.”

Qiu: “Goodnight.”

Luo Jianghe looked at the message from Qiu and then at the time displayed on his phone. It was not even nine o’clock. Did she mean to end the conversation by saying goodnight early? Luo Jianghe replied with a goodnight emoji and then exited the chat window.

He went to the class group chat. Since it was the group without teachers, it was quite lively. Luo Jianghe noted the scheduled time and location but exited without joining the conversation.

Below the class group chat was a message sent to him by Yu Wuyang. It was about some trivial matters in the class, which were the only topics they could still share during the final semester. Luo Jianghe shook his head and prepared to wash up.

Perhaps because he was thinking about it day and night, he dreamed of Qiu. Of course, he had never seen her, so she was just an image in his imagination. In the dream of Luo Jianghe, Qiu had her back turned to him. After waking up, he only remembered that she had very long, jet-black hair, and she seemed to be quite tall. In the dream, he even had to look up at her.

She was a sister with straight black hair who was at least one hundred and ninety centimeters tall.

Because the sleep was not very stable due to the dream, he slept until nine o’clock the next morning. After chatting with Mother Luo for a while and practicing the guitar, Luo Jianghe started his live stream after lunch.

Qiu arrived as usual. According to custom, she sent him ten “Starry Skies.” After he finished singing Blue and White Porcelain, she sent ten “Super Rockets,” which were one thousand yuan more expensive than the “Starry Skies.” This was likely the second gift he had unlocked.

He streamed for two hours in the afternoon. Thinking that he would be busy later in the evening, Luo Jianghe rested at home for an hour and a half before getting dressed to go out. He wore a light tea-colored suit jacket with loose jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt underneath. Feeling that his neck looked a bit empty, he put on a collarbone chain.

Since he was going to a class reunion and meeting an important fan today, he, who did not usually like to style his hair, spent half an hour in the bathroom before going downstairs to put on his canvas shoes and depart.

From the moment Luo Jianghe started styling his hair, Luo Xi watched with great interest from the side. She had already started her summer tutoring. To adapt to high school studies in advance, the family had arranged for her to start learning high school knowledge early. She only had one day off a week, and during that time, there was a small amount of homework to complete. Therefore, Luo Xi was unwilling to go out and play with friends and stayed home for the day.

She was different from Luo Jianghe; the scores of the classmates she was close to were high enough. Even if they were not in the same class, Luo Xi and her friends would be in the same school, so she was not afraid of parting after middle school graduation. However, seeing her brother go out to play so easily made Luo Xi a bit jealous. Thus, while Luo Jianghe was dressing up, she stood beside him and shook her head to break his rhythm.

However, Luo Jianghe did not care about the small antics of his sister. Seeing that Luo Jianghe ignored her and even rubbed her head hard before humming a song and going downstairs, Luo Xi stamped her feet in annoyance. “Vain guy!”

The driver of the Luo family no longer worked there this summer, and Luo Jianghe did not have a driver’s license. Originally, he planned to take a taxi, but Mother Luo wanted to drop him off and pick him up. Luo Jianghe went along with the wishes of Mother Luo and let her drive him to the restaurant.

When he got out of the car, Luo Jianghe said to Mother Luo, “I might come home quite late tonight. They will probably go to sing after the reunion. I will just take a taxi back then.”

As for the date in the evening, Luo Jianghe did not intend to tell Mother Luo. Since he was meeting a fan in person, he was afraid she would worry about him going astray. Her mental state was currently very fragile, so it was better not to add to her burden.

“I understand,” Mother Luo said from the driver’s seat. She then asked him, “Do you have enough money? Do you want me to transfer some to you?”

Even though she already knew that Luo Jianghe was capable of earning money, she still habitually wanted to give him money. Mother Luo was always like this, fearing her son would not have enough to spend or would lack material comforts.

“No, I have money,” Luo Jianghe refused directly and then turned to enter the restaurant.

A good-looking person like Luo Jianghe, once dressed up, seemed to glow. He was also tall and slender. Even if they were not his classmates, the gazes of passersby always drifted toward him. Luo Jianghe was used to these looks and walked naturally the entire way.

When he reached the private room for their class, several tables were already full. The scheduled time was from four to eight o’clock. Since he arrived after five, it was normal that everyone else was already there.

“Jianghe!” Chen Mo waved and called him over.

Luo Jianghe walked over with his long legs, and the heads of the boys and girls in the class moved along with him.

When he took the seat, Yu Wuyang was sitting at the table next to him. Not many people were talking to him, so Yu Wuyang sat there silently eating on his own, though the gaze frequently drifted toward the shining Luo Jianghe.

Luo Jianghe actually felt Yu Wuyang looking at him, but he held the ground and continued chatting with the friends around him without giving Yu Wuyang a single glance. He did not eat much after sitting down, mainly because he had a date later and wanted to save room.

When it was almost seven o’clock, Luo Jianghe went to the restroom to briefly fix the appearance, preparing to leave early. However, not long after he stepped out of the restroom, he saw a slender girl running toward him.

He recognized this girl. She was a classmate and the Chinese class representative. She was cute with a soft personality, especially prone to blushing when she spoke to him, but her management skills were quite good.

Looking at the lowered head, the reddened ears, and the fingers clenched tight with nervousness, Luo Jianghe had already guessed what she was about to do. But out of politeness, he still asked, “What is wrong? Is there something I can help with?”

“Luo, Luo Jianghe, did you apply to M University?” the girl asked him nervously with the head down.

Luo Jianghe nodded. “Yes. I am preparing to go to that school.”

The girl said, “I also, I also applied to M University.”

“I see,” Luo Jianghe said, indicating that he heard her.

“I want to ask you!” The girl seemed to gather her courage and suddenly looked up, her face flushed red. “If we can be in the same university in the future, could you please be with me?”

After saying that, it seemed the girl had finally completed a difficult mission. A long breath escaped her lips, as if it were draining her soul.
