Everyone Loves the Villainous Scumbag [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 38

“Sure, we can exchange contact information. We can talk more when we are free.” After all, the other person was a senior, and Luo Jianghe indeed lacked friends at the moment. He was surrounded by the protagonists of the novel, and each of them seemed a bit out of character. Even Luo Jianghe did not know how the plot would proceed next, so he did not feel confident making friends with them. He could not be friends with them at all.

As for his high school classmates, Lin Chuan and Chen Mo had a good relationship with him. However, Luo Jianghe never forgot how the video of Yu Wuyang kissing him had leaked. The angle was from someone standing at the door at that time. Fu Chen had not been standing at the door but was listening to the movement from the side, so it was certain that the person filming was not Fu Chen. Therefore, the person filming was either one of the girls present or Lin Chuan or Chen Mo.

Perhaps when they filmed that video, they did not intend to spread it. However, Luo Jianghe felt a grudge in his heart. Although he still hung out with them on the surface, he could never truly open up to them. Consequently, since coming to this world, he lacked a true friend. Luo Jianghe had a good impression of Little Bunny is Obedient. Since the other person was interested in making friends, he naturally would not refuse.

While speaking, Luo Jianghe adjusted his chair and leaned forward slightly, bringing his entire face close to the camera. With this one move, Little Bunny’s fans became quite restless.

“This is the first time I have seen someone look so good even when looking up into their nostrils.”

“I always thought it was a bad angle, but it turns out it was just a matter of looks.”

“Bunny, if only you had won just now! You could have made the person on the other side dance for me.”

“Which man caught by Bunny can escape?”

“Adding as a friend? Bunny, leave a straight man for us!”

“The big brother on the other side is also a man. Whether he is gay or straight, that is the question.”

Luo Jianghe did not know that he was being discussed so much over at Little Bunny’s side. He simply followed Little Bunny back and then exchanged contact information through private messages. There was no need to continue the PK, and both parties had to continue their live streams. After a brief chat, Luo Jianghe disconnected the video with Little Bunny.

He received many gifts today, and since he had not streamed for a long time, he stayed online for five consecutive hours before finishing. During that time, even when he remained silent or could not find a topic, he tried his best to let his fans see his face from different angles. If they wanted to see his collarbone, he aimed at his collarbone. If they wanted to see his nostrils, he filmed from the bottom up. He was very obedient.

After finishing the stream, Luo Jianghe went downstairs for dinner. During that time, his phone chimed several times, indicating he had received messages. After dinner, he sat in the living room for a while and checked the messages he had received. Two people had sent him messages: Gu Qiu and Fu Chen. Below them was a class group chat that had not been opened for a long time, showing multiple messages. Luo Jianghe followed the order and clicked on Fu Chen’s message first.

Upon opening the message, he found it was a red envelope with a note saying “Voluntary Gift.” What on earth was a “Voluntary Gift”? It was quite mysterious. Luo Jianghe only replied with several question marks and did not click on the red envelope to check the amount. He felt that Fu Chen must have given quite a lot.

On the other end, after receiving his message, Fu Chen put his phone aside with a cold face. He was truly crazy. Why did he send someone a red envelope of $100,000$ for no reason? Not being accepted only indicated that Luo Jianghe was a normal person, while what he did was abnormal. It was not liking because of pity, but pitying because of love. Even though Gu Qiu had tipped Luo Jianghe so much money today, Fu Chen was still worried that Luo Jianghe would not have enough money to spend.

As for the internet, he knew that no matter how much he tipped Luo Jianghe, it was impossible for him to surpass that Gu Qiu and become the top contributor. Moreover, the tipped money would be split by the platform. Therefore, he thought about directly transferring money to Luo Jianghe. However, he forgot one thing: how could a proud person like Luo Jianghe accept his charity? Tipping could be seen as Luo Jianghe putting in effort and receiving a reward. A street performer would not care how much the audience gave. But receiving someone’s money for no reason, how could that Luo Jianghe do such a thing?

Fu Chen, who understood this, felt increasingly frustrated. However, he seemed to like Luo Jianghe a bit more. He was frustrated because he could not directly help Luo Jianghe, who was in a difficult situation. What he liked was that he truly fell in love with a Luo Jianghe who was worth loving.

Luo Jianghe exited the chat with Fu Chen and went to check Gu Qiu’s message. In it, Gu Qiu asked if he had time. Luo Jianghe felt that Gu Qiu wanted to meet him. Luo Jianghe thought about it. He had already received his university admission letter, which was for his first choice. Although he still had a month of rest before the start of the semester, Mother Luo had to start the rental process now. Before renting out the villa, they had to rent a house for themselves to live in.

The Luo family had become accustomed to a life of luxury, and suddenly lowering their standard of living would certainly be difficult for them. This was not about being pretentious; it was truly difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Therefore, even if they were going to rent a house, they could not rent a particularly poor one. At least the surrounding facilities had to be good, it should not be too noisy at night, and the local security should at least have guards and cameras. After all, two females would be living together in the future. Luo Xi would also have evening self-study in high school. If there were no monitoring around, he would definitely not be at ease. Since they were renting a house outside and Mother Luo would take care of her daily life, there was no need for her to live at the school like Luo Jianghe.

Of course, the most important thing was that the house still had to be close to Luo Xi’s high school to make it convenient for her to go to and from school. To be honest, based on Luo Jianghe’s current income, providing for Luo Xi’s university education and his own studies would be no problem. Luo Jianghe had even considered simply not renting out the villa, as moving back and forth was also troublesome. However, Mother Luo was frightened by Father Luo’s company affairs and felt that it was better to keep the money in her own hands. Since the villa still had value and there were not that many people living at home, it was best to utilize its value.

Finding a house would definitely take time, and the live streaming had only just restarted. Luo Jianghe wanted to stream for several days and fix a schedule. Additionally, his fans were increasing. If he did not have a team to help him, he would have to recruit some staff himself. He had also been delaying creating a fan group and needed to set one up now. All of these tasks needed to be completed within this month, so his time seemed free but was actually quite tight.

But Gu Qiu was his top fan, after all. He could not neglect such a big financier and had to respond to his invitation to some extent. Therefore, Luo Jianghe carefully calculated his free time and replied to Gu Qiu: “There have been some things at home recently, and I also want to recruit some behind-the-scenes workers related to streaming. I will not have time until next weekend. Brother Qiu, do you want to meet?”

He thought that if Gu Qiu was not free on the weekend, he would try his best to accommodate Gu Qiu’s schedule. After all, his own time could be adjusted; he was just anxious to resolve the current problems as soon as possible. However, Gu Qiu’s time was truly more valuable than gold. Luo Jianghe still had a sense of what was more important.

To his surprise, Gu Qiu was actually willing to accommodate his time.

Gu Qiu: “That works. How about Saturday at noon? We can arrange a lunch and then I will drive you home.”

Luo Jianghe originally wanted to send an emoji, but after thinking about it, he changed it to text: “Okay.”

He thought the conversation would end there, but unexpectedly, Gu Qiu asked him another question: “How have things been lately?”

How have things been?

He probably inferred it from the fact that he stopped streaming. He had indeed been quite busy lately. Gu Qiu’s concern was actually quite heartwarming.

Luo Jianghe: “It is fine. I will be streaming whenever I have time in the future. Don’t worry, Brother Qiu.”

Gu Qiu: “That is good.”

However, the expression on Gu Qiu’s face on the other end of the phone was not very good.

It is fine? It had been less than half a month since his father passed away. The family was bankrupt, there were two elderly people, a younger sister who needed to go to school, himself who had not yet entered society, and a mother with a meager income. Without even properly managing his emotions, he had to smile and do a five-hour live stream for his fans. His voice must be exhausted today, right? Even so, he could still type the words “It is fine.” Luo Jianghe was too kind and treated him too much like an outsider.

“True, we have not known each other for long. How could he think of depending on me?”

Gu Qiu leaned back on the sofa and brushed the hair away from his forehead. He could not help but wonder how much of Luo Jianghe’s smile in the stream today was genuine and how much was a forced smile.

“What a heartbreaking child,” he murmured to himself.

Luo Jianghe did not know that his answer had made the two people talking to him feel more pity for him. He simply clicked on the class group chat, which he had not checked for a long time, to read the messages. He already knew that someone at school had discovered he was doing live streams, and he did not intend to hide it. Besides, on the internet, there is no such thing as privacy. Even if he wanted to hide it, he could not.

The discussion about his live stream in the class had already passed, replaced by the news that Yu Wuyang was joining a film crew to shoot during the summer vacation.

There were slight differences between the world Luo Jianghe was currently in and the country where he had been in his previous life. In his previous life, the power of a screenwriter was not that great; what mattered for a drama was the investors and the directors. However, in the world where he was currently located, the screenwriter had a lot of say. Many TV dramas were like Korean and American dramas, filmed while being aired. Sometimes, if the audience overwhelmingly liked a certain couple, even the pre-determined male lead could become the second male lead.

Although Yu Wuyang had not undergone any professional acting courses, in the novel, he was the man chosen by the screenwriter at a glance. To accommodate him, the screenwriter even created a new character specifically for him. Later, the TV drama he participated in would catapult him to a high position, making Yu Wuyang the dream man of many girls in the country. Even though he only played the second male lead in the TV drama, it did not affect the subsequent trend of his extremely high traffic.

It was also because of this drama that the first male lead, Gu Qiu, discovered Yu Wuyang’s existence and turned him into his canary. At that time, Yu Wuyang had completely given up on his body because of his disappointment in love, with the culprit being Luo Jianghe, so he was easily obtained by Gu Qiu. But it was also because of Yu Wuyang’s popularity that he and Luo Jianghe were once again entangled together.
