Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 486 - 218 Empathy_2

"You!"

What do you want to do?

I’ve never done that!

Panting heavily, she glared angrily.

Actually, Chen Nuanhan had many ways to fight back, but there wasn’t a single way that wouldn’t hurt Su Huai.

They were all AOE, even the passing dogs would get slapped.

She struggled between "suppressing herself" and "cleaning up together with Su Huai" for a moment, but soon made a decision.

But before she could speak, Su Huai timely initiated self-rescue.

The moment Chen Nuanhan pouted her butt, he knew where to direct his rant.

Pick on me? You wish!

Gou Huai spoke slowly and in detail, finding a fundamental explanation for himself.

"Nuannuan, it’s not just you who doesn’t understand, in fact, the current mainstream users don’t understand either, they can’t even get in touch with that thing.

But in fact, since the day live entertainment was born, Northeastern hosts, represented by shout-singing, have occupied a large position in the entire ecosystem.

In my personal opinion, shout-singing is not music, and it doesn’t touch the edge of art; it’s a form of pure emotional release that is even more marginal.

’Thunderstruck! My heavenly skills cause the sky to collapse and the earth to fissure, my purple-golden hammer!’

This thing has no artistic value and no musical system, but it has a reason to exist.

We have 1.4 billion compatriots, not everyone has the same aesthetic standard, yet everyone has spiritual needs.

If we were to divide according to the hierarchy of musical aesthetics, at the very top would definitely be the classical music lovers, who listen to Chopin and Beethoven’s symphonies, understand and feel the music, and enjoy it, probably making up less than 0.001%.

Going down the line, those who listen to pure music look down on jazz listeners, jazz and soul blues battle, collectively despising rock, rock enthusiasts rant against folk, folk critiques pop, pop steps on rap, rappers respect no one...

Turbid Dog-style pop, represented by Dao Lang and Phoenix Legend, was at the bottom of the disdain chain when it was born, and anyone could insult it.

And shout-singing is even lower, in a pit beneath the ground.

But a need is a need, a considerable part of the culturally insensitive citizens don’t understand Jay Chou’s ’The faint brush outlines the blue and white, the ink transforms from dense to light,’ and they think ’The First Snow of 2002’ is more powerful.

Further down, a large number of confused teenagers who are sorted out after junior high don’t want to listen to high-brow music, they just want a simpler, more straightforward, and easier to mimic rhythm to vent their emotions.

This is a very legitimate need, and also one that is overlooked—there has never been an official effort in this area, so the live-hearted lads have to do it themselves.

This is a big market, filled with the good and the bad.

But this is the collective choice of all audiences.

So what I mean is, shout-singing is not shameful, if you don’t like it you can ignore it, allow others to like it.

If Man Li can really make money this way, I think it’s not a bad thing.

Truly open-minded people are those who stand high yet can see the suffering of the lower levels, and amid the trivial don’t fear the authority of the great beings, empathizing with the heaven’s heart, coexisting with human desires.

Think about it, isn’t that the reasoning?"

Chen Nuanhan was stunned.

She didn’t expect a simple complaint to receive such a lengthy lecture from Su Huai.

Yet she felt very guilty and involuntarily reflected: Was what I just said too harsh?

Gou Huai was indeed outstanding, not missing any opportunity to U her.

But he really managed to balance grandeur with reasoning, high-minded sentiment, clear logic, and strong empathy, which made her seem all the more narrow-minded and not so smart.

Chen Nuanhan was convinced and decisively conceded defeat.

"Alright, I got it."

Chen obediently nodded, then looked up to Gou Huai with admiration: "What you said was really good, when Lily comes down, I’ll help you persuade her, why not make money if she can?"

Su Huai silently sighed, ah, another good actor!

Compared to her, at this moment, Pei Shuyu was truly admiring Su Huai.

Favorability Rating shot up to 50+, and then she sincerely said: "Junior, your thoughts are really profound, and you’ve explained this matter thoroughly!"

Since meeting offline, it was the first time she showed a hint of confusion and vulnerability in front of Su Huai.

"Everyone thinks I must be happy and proud because I’ve made big money, but who knows I don’t like dancing in those sexy clothes in front of the screen for some weird men at all?"

I also hate those dirty punishments, I don’t like the male streamers’ clawing, and I can’t stand all the shouting into the microphone, but that’s live streaming. Meeting the legitimate needs of paying users is the only job I can do, not love it, but I have to try my best.

When people spend money, I have to show good attitude, nobody’s money comes from nowhere. Being perfunctory to those who appreciate me feels like denying myself, filling my heart with guilt.

But who knows how draining this job can be?

I want to just get by, but I can’t get past my own standards, I want to give up, but I can’t bear to lose the status and income I fought so hard to earn...

Ah, am I complaining too much?

Sorry, junior, I got a little carried away, you spoke so well, I’ve only ever seen one player as empathetic as you, and for a moment I even felt his image overlap with yours..."

Pei Shuyu quickly regained control of her emotions, not letting the unease continue to overflow.

Su Huai understood her completely, and even more deeply now.

The girl was too career-driven yet clung to her self-respect, indeed a little twisted. You wouldn’t feel it normally, but at critical moments, her immaturity would show.

If it were mature entrepreneurs like President Liu or President Lei... Self-respect? How much could it sell for?

Her twist was both a good and bad thing.

The good part was, her genuine feelings for Turbid Dog would last a long time. The fact that her favorability rating wasn’t dropping was proof of that.

The downside was, without resolving her psychological issues, aiming for a 100-point favorability rating was a bit off since she constantly reminded herself that she was a "woman who sells smiles," confining herself within an imaginary cell.

Su Huai felt depressed.

Damn it, these three girls, one more troublesome than the other, the last shiver all down to psychological issues, it’s too hard to max out the favorability.

Beautiful and smart women are really a pain. Who was it that shouted ’easy’ at the beginning?!

Su Huai wouldn’t admit he’d thought it too simple, he only believed in miracles through sheer force.

"Senior sister, that’s too much praise, I can’t handle it."

Gou Huai made a joke to lighten the mood, then, as Chen Nuanhan listened with alert ears, he took the initiative to create some distance.

"Actually, I don’t have much empathy either. No matter how nicely I talk, when it comes to certain things, I will definitely act on self-interest first. Talk is just talk, actions are actions, just a matter of perspective."

How smart was Pei Shuyu? She instantly realized Su Huai’s deliberate effort to control the nature of their relationship.

He didn’t really consider her a friend, just a little better than an ordinary classmate.

Pei Shuyu felt even more reassured about Su Huai. Suddenly, she leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Junior, I’ve got a patron now, it’s no problem if you think of me as some big brother’s exclusive property. You don’t have to guard against me like I’m a thief. I really only admire you. What do you say, do you want to accept my investment? Name any amount up to ten million!"

Su Huai’s expression froze, not from shock, but from almost being unable to hold back a laugh.

Invest in me?

In a few days, when we meet at the company, your expression is sure to be priceless...

But Nai Yu was truly conscientious. Although she was only ruthless in front of Chu Changkuo, she could be considered "faithful" to Turbid Dog Number Three.

Admitting so openly in front of a junior takes courage.

Su Huai was in high spirits, laughing, "Investment? Then it’s a deal, we’ll talk more once I’m less busy, and I hope the junior won’t give me a hard time then..."

Pei Shuyu sat up straight, confidently saying, "Time will tell. You’ll eventually find out that I’m a friend worth having, beautiful, kind-hearted, and even-tempered!"

Chen Nuanhan cast a suspicious glance over – she didn’t engage with the flirty fox, but suddenly felt Su Huai’s emotions were a bit strange.

Elevated and intense, like happiness but not just happiness, swirling with a streak of mischief...

You bastard, are you scheming again?!

Chen felt a sudden sense of urgency. Not knowing how to calm herself, she decisively made a bold move.

She raised her hand and grabbed Su Huai’s paw, forcefully interlocking her fingers with his, holding on tightly.

You scoundrel, you’re mine!

If you want to be naughty or frisky, it can only be with me!

Su Huai looked at her in astonishment, but quickly accepted it and contentedly held her small hand.

*******

Damn, after all that effort, I only swindled a dollar...
