Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 89 - 90: Bizarre Laughter

On a clear, serene night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Nan Yu felt the girl she was clutching in her arms slowly fade into nothingness.

SOB... SOB...

She hadn’t been able to cry at the funeral. She just felt numb. Though she was sad, it was as if something had clogged her heart, preventing her from shedding a single tear or even letting out a whimper.

But now, clutching nothing but air, she was completely overcome with grief.

True heartbreak and sorrow leave you speechless. In the first few days after Lili passed away, Nan Yu hadn’t processed it.

Before she could even begin to grieve, strange things started happening.

She’d had no time for sorrow; she was too consumed by fear. But now, she felt it with absolute clarity: Lili was truly gone.

The girl she’d known since kindergarten had just vanished from her arms.

Even Su Nian found the scene heart-wrenching, but she had never been good at comforting people.

Instead, she stated matter-of-factly, "The bond between you and her runs deep. Though it was broken in this life, you will meet again in the next."

"Okay, thank you, Streamer."

Nan Yu choked back a sob and left the stream.

Afterward, Su Nian said no more and began the third lucky bag giveaway of the day.

[Congratulations to Lone Brave Youth for grabbing the streamer’s lucky bag!]

Su Nian immediately contacted the lucky winner, asking if they were available for a live video call.

The moment she sent the message, Lone Brave Youth replied instantly, as if he had been waiting for it, and cheerfully agreed to a call.

Su Nian sent the video call invitation. Once the other party accepted, the stream’s screen split neatly in two.

One side showed Lone Brave Youth’s camera feed, and the other showed Su Nian.

It was now past ten at night. Lone Brave Youth was a man of about twenty-five or twenty-six with a buzz cut. He had an average face but a ready smile, and the moment his feed appeared, he flashed a set of perfectly white teeth.

Dressed in a t-shirt and capri-length athletic pants, he had the look of a cheerful and energetic athlete.

At the moment, he was holding a cup of Coke, which he was drinking with a SLURP SLURP.

Seeing the call connect, a sunny smile immediately spread across his face. Though his skin was a bit tan, his teeth were impossibly white in contrast. He raised a hand to wave at Su Nian.

"Hey, Streamer! You can just call me Xiao Chen. I’ve been watching you since your very first stream. I finally got lucky and won the giveaway today!"

[Is this the legendary ’sunshine boy’ I’ve heard so much about?]

[Tan skin, big muscles, and a gorgeous smile? Isn’t he my ideal type?!]

In addition to these, there were also some rather thirsty comments.

Seeing so much flattery, with quite a few people calling him "Hubby," Xiao Chen was taken aback by their bluntness and became quite flustered.

"No, no, I’m just a regular P.E. major. You guys are exaggerating way too much. If you keep this up, my head’s going to get so big it’ll float away."

[Whoa! A P.E. major, too! I’m even more in love!]

[AAAAAH, Hubby, look at me!]

[Family, based on my deductions, high schoolers are still in class and don’t have this much freedom. They definitely wouldn’t be on their phones. So I just want to ask, are you a college P.E. major?]

"Yeah, that’s right. I’m a sophomore this year. I’m renting a place by myself off-campus."

[AWOOOO, the good stuff is coming, the good stuff is coming!]

[I’m begging you, can you take your shirt off? I’ve been dying to see your abs.]

[Handsome! Handsome!]

A blush spread across Xiao Chen’s cheeks, but he feigned composure. "I just have an ordinary face. What I really want to say is that the streamer is the truly beautiful one. Even if I saw you a hundred times, I’d still say it’s a real shame you don’t rely on your looks for a living."

"You have good taste, but please pay the divination fee."

"Yeah, okay. But I haven’t decided what I want a reading on yet. Let me think."

Then, Xiao Chen stood up from his gaming chair, stretched a little, and sat back down on a small sofa by his bed.

As he moved, he answered some of the fans’ thirsty questions.

[Handsome, please, let’s see those abs!]

[Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what about me?!]

[What do P.E. majors usually like to do? I’ll go ’casually’ hang out there!]

Xiao Chen blushed and answered selectively, "In my free time, I mostly like to play ball."

"Dating? I haven’t really tried it. I want to wait until I have a job, because I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a relationship."

The phone’s camera panned to the background behind him, revealing a room with pretty decent-looking decor.

The furnishings were new, and the overhead light was an exquisite crystal lamp. Its light scattered in soft fragments across the sofa, making the room feel warm and cozy.

Though sparsely furnished, it had all the essentials, including a refrigerator and a washing machine.

Even though the place was small, anyone who could afford to rent such a nice room probably wasn’t poor.

[Wow, this guy’s place is cleaner than mine.]

[Same here. I’m a girl, and my room is a mess, but this guy’s place is spotless. It’s small, but so cozy and well-decorated.]

[Is this handsome guy lying? How could he not have money if he can afford a place like this? Is it because you already have a girl you like? Spill! Let us in on it!]

A sunny smile appeared on Xiao Chen’s face. "No, that’s not it. There’s a catch. I live in a pretty standard studio apartment. A normal student like me wouldn’t be able to afford it, but the security around here isn’t great—lots of petty theft. But I figured since I’ve been an athlete for so many years and know a little martial arts, I wouldn’t be scared. That’s the only reason I moved in. Otherwise, the occupancy rate in this area is pretty low."

"And look, the security here really is bad. Just a moment ago, someone in the neighborhood group chat sent a warning because they ran into a thief again."

As he spoke, he pulled up the chat history. Most of it consisted of complaints about the poor security. One person said that today marked the third time they’d been robbed this month.

Now that he mentioned it, the audience noticed something was off.

The places most people live are always noisy; you inevitably hear the sounds of people, traffic, and other random collisions.

Those noises are unavoidable. But Xiao Chen’s place was exceptionally quiet.

He even had a basketball hoop mounted on his wall. There must be very few residents around, which would explain how he could get away with playing ball indoors without anyone complaining.

[Even as a girl, I’m super tempted. A place like that is an absolute steal!]

[The person above me should really think twice. The handsome guy himself said the security is bad. Students, especially girls, shouldn’t live in places like this. Areas with poor security usually have more thugs and lowlifes. If you run into one of those animals and there’s no one around, it would be hard to even call for help.]

[Yeah, he said the occupancy rate is super low. Fewer people makes it even scarier. Plus, the rent is cheap, so you get a motley crew of residents, which is even more dangerous.]

[What the hell do you guys know? When you’re truly broke, forget a place like this—I’d move into a haunted house. There are people sleeping under overpasses, for crying out loud!]

Seeing that an argument was about to break out in the comments, Xiao Chen quickly tried to smooth things over. "Anyway, for your own safety, it’s probably best for girls and other students not to live in a place like this."

But just as he was speaking, an eerie sound suddenly broke the silence.

Eheheh... heheheh...

It sounded like someone hiding in the shadows, snickering with a strange, muffled laugh.
