Chapter 236: Chapter 118 Officially Setting Sail [Happy New Year’s Eve!]
In Gou Huai’s anxious wait, three minutes felt like an eternity, akin to three days.
But... it was worth the wait.
Pei Shuyu sent him a selfie in her work swimsuit—a triangular bikini covering less than one-third of the front area, with both the upper curve and lower edge completely exposed.
One hand holding the phone, the other raised above her head, she didn’t deliberately squeeze her chest, but it naturally gathered together, forming a deep cleavage.
Avoiding danger with a limited view: semi-spherical, firm, and snow-white.
And... filling his entire field of vision.
Su Huai was massively taken aback and typed out in pursuit, "All-natural?"
Actually, Gou Huai knew the answer, of course. Asking again was just to provoke her pride.
"Of course!"
Pei Shuyu replied directly and proudly, "Back in high school, I was only a D+. After starting college, it surged by two sizes every year."
Only a D+, listen to that, so envious!
Su Huai studied the photo for a long time, concluding that this was a size he had never encountered before.
"So how big is it exactly?"
"Uh, I have to wear a 75G, but there isn’t really a brand that fits perfectly..."
That’s just absurd...
Su Huai expressed his concern decisively, "You’re not short on money now, go check out some luxury brands, treat yourself better."
Pei Shuyu was clearly happier, her response tinged with more emotion.
"Yeah yeah! Don’t worry, Daddy, as soon as I made some money, I went straight to browse LP and Aubade. I used to only wear Taobao-brand minimizers, but now sets from international brands worth thousands are so much more comfortable..."
Gou Huai casually raised the bar even higher, "I’ll buy you a lingerie factory later, tailor-make a series to your figure since it’s for your own use anyway. We can just copy the design from big brands, use the most comfortable fabric, guaranteeing it looks good and fits well."
"Dizzy, how much would that lose us?"
Su Huai kept sweet-talkin’, "It might not necessarily incur a loss, breaking even should be possible, right? And a few million is not something we can’t afford to lose, your body is more important."
Pei Shuyu’s cheeks weren’t hot anymore, but her heart was starting to warm up.
"Daddy, you’re so nice~~~"
Gou Huai thought to himself, you haven’t even felt the best of me yet...
Truth be told, having seen something he shouldn’t have, he felt a bit restless, blood rushing to his head.
Unfortunately, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with Pei Shuyu anytime soon; now wasn’t the time to lay all cards on the table, so he continued to be restless.
Then he suddenly threw out another flirty comment, "Beautiful, but I don’t like those two pieces of fabric, take note for next time~~~"
At this stage, throwing a few flirty lines wasn’t harassment anymore, it was called spice.
Pei Shuyu didn’t take any offense; on the contrary, she felt a subtle thrill, her heart pounding furiously.
"You stinker! There won’t be a next time! I don’t want to talk to you anymore." 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Got it! [smirk]"
Gou Huai sent her an emoji and firmly ended the chat.
"Okay, digest what I’ve said today, and next time when you have a chance, I’ll talk to you about the next topic."
"Ah? Why next time?" Pei Shuyu was very reluctant.
It was because flirting needs to be gradual.
Today, he had already pushed the boundaries a bit and harvested plenty of favorability; it was best to leave it at that.
Flirting needed a rhythm, and online flirting, compared to in-person, had a completely different tempo.
You couldn’t physically touch or lead things to the next level online, so you needed to use more unrestrained language and precise triggers to create a broader space for fantasy without being too hasty.
There was no opportunity for closure, so what’s the use in striking while the iron is hot?
Better to keep pulling, first establishing a sturdy psychological tolerance.
Lesson: Don’t flirt to excess, and never say your final word.
In WeChat chats, once you cross the line, things can change in an instant, and that’s far more difficult to remedy than in real life.
So... that’s it for today.
Gou Huai personally demonstrated to her what it means to be detached—"Because high-end knowledge comes at a price, and what you’ve paid for today only covers up to this point. Alright, sweet girl, bye~~~"
When he said bye, he meant it, and Su Huai didn’t send another message.
Pei Shuyu’s coquettish pleading was to no avail. After replying, she clutched her phone and stared at the chat screen, not seeing the "typing" indication for several minutes, feeling increasingly dejected.
That made her somewhat distressed, and it also gave rise to some resentment. For the whole afternoon, she found herself thinking about Turbid Dog Daddy from time to time, and then checking her WeChat.
Unread messages quickly piled up to 99+.
There were greetings from Xichu Overlord, Xia Yu’s reminders, Cheese’s ingratiating messages, "Yu, are you there?" from other operations, screenshots, and gossip from anchor friends.
The only thing missing was the message from the stinker she wanted to see.
Even a casual emoji from you would have been nice... so annoying!
She listlessly fiddled with her phone, not wanting to reply to anyone, and ended up sending perfunctory responses like "Yeah", "Busy", "Normal broadcast", and "Talk later" to those she had to respond to.
Then, they persistently asked her, "What’s wrong? Is something the matter? Can I help?"
So annoying...
Just before going live, she clearly felt her mood was off and finally understood why the first rule of the broadcaster’s mindset was to be detached.
Without detachment, it really could affect work.
She spread open her notebook, peering into the camera, and began to self-hypnotize.
Strengthening her resolve, she read her prepared script.
"Unperturbed by honor or disgrace, I casually watch flowers bloom and fade in my courtyard; indifferent to coming and going, I languidly follow clouds as they roll and unfold in the sky."
"Life is full of departures and brief encounters; I accept any surprise and respect anyone’s freedom to come and go."
