63. god tm drink more hot water

Luo Ma was very happy today because her daughter introduced her to her adorable niece, Qiqi. Thanks to this, Luo Yuzhen became Su Qiqi's manager.

Although Luo Yuzhen achieved her goal, she felt a bit down. After working so hard, in the end, it was her family connection that made it happen. Sometimes, hard work isn't enough—success can depend on who you know. Luo Yuzhen understood this. Without the bond between their families, she wouldn't have gotten this chance with Qiqi, no matter how clever she was.

Luckily, things turned out perfectly, and Luo Yuzhen was thrilled. With Qiqi's impressive talents, Luo Yuzhen's confidence soared, and she began planning their careers more seriously.

First, they decided to try live-streaming before Qiqi graduated to gain popularity. After all, the short video trend has been booming in recent years! Surprisingly, the results were amazing. Not 10, but over 5 million followers on Douyin, and they earned a lot of money. They were already famous before even officially debuting.

Luo Yuzhen couldn't help but feel lucky. Seeing today's earnings of nearly 20,000, she was overjoyed. Just through Qiqi's live streams, they had made millions. She was already considering opening their own studio, becoming their own boss—freer and earning more.

Of course, Qiqi agreed. The entertainment industry is tough and dark, and without money or connections, they'd be devoured.

"Qiqi, you need to be careful. Don't let those rich guys sweet-talk you. They're just players! The more they can't have you, the more they'll chase you. Keep them interested, make them compete over you like tools," Luo Yuzhen advised as she helped Qiqi remove her makeup.

"Hehe, don't worry, Sister Yuzhen, you've told me this a hundred times already. I remember it all!" Su Qiqi laughed while playing on her phone, flirting with guys on WeChat. "Look at these guys, pretending to be innocent. They think I'm just some simple girl. Hmph, I don't fall for it!"

Luo Yuzhen glanced at Qiqi's chats and smiled. "Don't be too hard on them. You'll need them to boost your live stream later! Just keep them happy with sweet talk. They're not worthy of you anyway!"

"Hehe, I know! I'm just bored and messing with them," Qiqi said, her face full of mischief. She tapped on the newest contact on her WeChat. "I just added this one today. Let's start with him!"

She sent a message: "Hey, are you there?"

Then, Qiqi left the chat and focused on her other conversations. She planned to make him wait before replying, building up his anticipation. When she did respond, she'd apologize, saying she was in the shower, to make him feel nervous and caught up in her game. She had done this many times before, and it always worked.

After playing with her other chats, Qiqi returned to check the message from her new target. Oddly, there was no response—just her "Hey, are you there?" from half an hour ago.

"Huh? Why didn't he reply?" she wondered, counting the masks on her face while looking at her phone. Then, with a playful grin, she said, "Looks like I've found a challenge! I love a good challenge!"

She quickly typed a new message: "Sorry, I was in the shower. The water was cold because the heater is broken. Hope I don't catch a cold, I have class tomorrow."

Boys usually couldn't resist a sick, delicate girl—it triggered their protective instincts.

Meanwhile, Jason Liu had seen Qiqi's first message, but he was busy chatting with Xiaohan. As a slow typist, he could barely keep up with that conversation, so he didn't have time to answer Qiqi.

When he saw her second message, though, he felt it would be rude to ignore her, especially since she mentioned the cold. He decided to respond, pushing himself to type faster.

"Drink more hot water!" he finally replied.

When Qiqi saw the message, she couldn't help but laugh. Lying on the sofa, she wiggled her toes painted with red polish, playfully pinching the fluffy bunny ears on her pillow.

"God, not the 'drink more hot water' line again!" she muttered, shaking her head. She had heard this so many times before in WeChat chats.

Got a cold? Drink more water.

Headache? Drink more water.

Feeling sick? Drink more water.

Period cramps? Drink more hot water.

Toothache? Yep, you guessed it—drink more water.

It was the same old, tired response. Qiqi sighed, amused yet slightly frustrated by how predictable guys could be.
