Xu Gui's comment about the heat, resonated with many netizens.
[They say there are only two seasons now, winter and summer, and that's absolutely true. The temperature was quite cool a couple of days ago, but today it suddenly spiked.]
[This year's weather is really strange, fluctuating between hot and cold. It's usually hot much earlier, but this year it's been cool for so long.]
[It's just that City A is cool; other provinces and cities have been hot for ages. In this kind of weather, my life depends on air conditioning.]
[The important question is, what happened to the little girl targeted by the pedophile? Xu Gui, have you found her parents and talked to them about it?]
While some netizens discussed the weather, many more were concerned about Qiao Qiao's situation. Xu Gui noticed this, said a few words, and then moved on, not wanting to say more.
For her, Qiao Qiao's matter was over. Xue Mingyue, as the child's mother, would naturally stand up for her child, so Xu Gui didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Compared to others, Xu Gui felt that others should worry more about themselves.
Of course, netizens are also worried. Their biggest concern right now is the elimination rounds.
The second elimination round lasts four days, and tomorrow is the last day. Xu Gui is currently ranked eighteenth, not far behind nineteenth, and there's a risk of being overtaken.
[The show is only taking the top ten this time, meaning if Xu Gui doesn't move up eight places before tomorrow, she'll be eliminated!]
[Going around and around, why am I going around in circles? Because I'm like an ant on a hot plate!]
[It's just eight places, I believe Xu Gui can do it! Didn't she overtake others last time and make it into the elimination round?]
[Xu Gui was lucky last time, she met a rich person. Can she be so lucky this time, meeting another rich person showering her with money? If she's really that lucky, I'll immediately replace my Guanyin statue with hers and pray to her every day!]
[?? Dude, no way, no way!] " Let's just pray to Guanyin, Amitabha."
"We're so anxious, but Xu Gui doesn't seem worried at all? Isn't she afraid of being eliminated?"
"Uh, maybe she really doesn't care. Didn't you hear her introduce herself? Her main job is fortune telling, and her side job is being a celebrity. You have no idea how much I laughed when I heard her say that; I laughed until tears streamed down my face."
...
Xu Gui was indeed not in a hurry. Her mood was remarkably calm. After all, she felt she had already tried her best and had a clear conscience.
"It's too hot outside. Let's work from home today and do a live fortune telling session," she said.
Live fortune telling—friends in City A might not know how they feel, but friends in other provinces and cities were genuinely happy. Again, outside of City A, they had no chance to have their fortunes told by Xu Gui. Watching her tell fortunes every day felt completely pointless.
But live fortune telling is different. It means that netizens from all over the country have a chance... well, although the chance seems slim right now. After all, Xu Gui's live stream already has over two million viewers, and it's still rising, about to break the three million mark.
In other words, to get Xu Gui's fortune telling, you have to be selected from these two million people, which seems even more difficult than taking a bus to City A to have your fortune told by Xu Gui?
Those who want their fortunes told: Haha, it's just a mere three or four million people... well!
While the netizens were discussing, Xu Gui had already had his assistant draw the first lucky person according to the procedure. This netizen was called "Four-Leaf Clover," a girl with a very soft voice.
"...I want you to tell me, Master, whether my boyfriend is sincere towards me."
The girl explained her situation with her boyfriend.
She and her boyfriend had been together for five years, since graduating from university. Over the years, their relationship had been very good, and her boyfriend was very good to her and considerate. They had been discussing marriage recently.
However, the girl had some doubts in her heart recently because her boyfriend had an "older sister," whom he described as his biological sister.
"We met this older sister a couple of years ago. She's married and has a child. She's a very nice person with a good personality," the girl said. "Later, we often went out to eat together, and she often gave me gifts. She's very good to me. I think we've become friends."
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled. If the girl said this older sister was a good person, why would she have doubts about her relationship with her boyfriend because of her?
Being friends with her sister-in-law is great! After marriage, she wouldn't have to worry about the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship at all. She could even help ease the tension between her and her mother-in-law. It all seems like a good thing, right?
The girl saw everyone's comments and smiled bitterly, saying, "I thought so too before, but recently, I saw a photo of my boyfriend and this older sister in my boyfriend's cloud drive photo album."
If it were just a simple photo, the girl wouldn't have reacted so strongly, but what she saw was a photo of her boyfriend kissing his "older sister."
"It wasn't a kiss on the cheek, it was lips to lips." The existence of this photo greatly affected the girl; her voice was hurried and strained as she spoke.
Netizens who heard this were
also shocked: What do you mean by a photo of lips to lips? Is it the kind of photo they were thinking of?
One netizen asked doubtfully: "But isn't that woman already married and even has children?"
The girl sighed, "Yes, she's married, has a husband and children, and is my boyfriend's older sister, so I've never doubted their relationship. But would normal siblings really take photos like that?"
The girl seemed out of place in this crazy world.
"Actually, I felt something was off before," she added, "My boyfriend's WeChat profile picture is of his sister… Do you think a normal person would use their own sister's photo as their profile picture?"
Netizens then asked, "Didn't you ask your boyfriend about this before?" "
Why didn't you ask?" The girl's expression held a bleak acceptance of reality. "He said it's because he and his sister are very close. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his sister. In his heart, his sister is like his biological mother… Tell me, he's said that, what can I say? I can't just keep questioning him, can I?"
Further questioning would make her seem suspicious, as if she didn't trust her boyfriend.
The girl had tried to comfort herself; her boyfriend and his sister were siblings, what could possibly be wrong? Maybe it was because they grew up together that they were so close.
However, these words of comfort and self-consolation shattered completely when she saw the photo of the two kissing.
"Using his sister's photo as a profile picture, I can accept that he sees her as his mother! I can not mind!" the girl said rapidly, "But kissing his sister and taking a picture of it, then I really can't accept that."
The girl: "Master, tell me, is my boyfriend a perverted sister-obsessed person?"
No, it shouldn't just be her boyfriend, but rather, her boyfriend and his sister—are they both perverts? How fortunate she is, encountering a whole bunch of perverts!
The girl finally finished speaking, and Xu Gui listened. Then, he shared his opinion: "Maybe, your boyfriend and his sister aren't perverts at all?"
The girl: "Impossible! What normal siblings would take photos like that? I even see the date; they took these photos last year, when we were still together!"
Xu Gui: "So, is it possible that they aren't actually siblings?"
The girl: "...Huh?"
The girl was instantly stunned, and everyone in the live stream was also somewhat bewildered.
Xu Gui said: "Think carefully about the fact that the woman is your boyfriend's older sister. Has everything only been said by your boyfriend and her, without any third person corroborating it?"
The girl paused, then thought back carefully and realized that it seemed to be true.
From beginning to end, the only people who said the woman was the boyfriend's sister were the two of them. As for others, it seemed that no one else had ever mentioned that the boyfriend had a sister. No, it should be said that when they met this "sister," there was never anyone else present, only the three of them, or perhaps one more woman's husband.
"But, but she's married, and her husband knows my boyfriend is her brother!" the girl said anxiously. "We even ate with that brother-in-law, and she told her husband that my boyfriend was her brother."
The girl thought, "Her husband couldn't possibly be lying to me with them, could he?"
Xu Gui, however, said, "Have you heard of NTR?"
The familiar internet slang term hit her ears, and the girl was immediately stunned again.
And when the viewers in the live stream heard this, countless lurkers were brought out of hiding:
[Wow, wow, the development of this matter has really exceeded my expectations at every step. You can never guess what will happen next. It's going to get even more explosive.]
[I thought I only saw the term NTR in the world of anime. Is this what they call the dimensional barrier breaking down?]
[I feel like this girl is about to shatter.] [
If it were me, I'd shatter too. My fiancé, whom I'm talking about marrying, is not only flirting with another woman, but he also lied to me, saying I'm his sister. Most importantly, this woman is married, and her husband is an NTR (Netorare) perpetrator! Wait!! Is this girl also part of this trio? It's terrifying to think about!]
...
The girl's mind was completely in turmoil, a feeling of utter collapse and bewilderment, as if her perfect world had suddenly shattered.
After several seconds of silence, the girl finally asked again, "So, what exactly is going on between the three of them?" Her tone sounded genuinely weak.
Xu Gui cautiously asked, "Are you sure you can accept all the facts I've told you?"
The girl: "..."
"Isn't this all there is?" she asked cautiously, her voice sounding as if she were about to break.
Xu Gui frankly stated, "Anyway, I haven't finished yet."
The girl took a breath, her tone resolute, "Go ahead and say it, I can handle it!"
She sneered, "No matter how explosive it is, it's still better than what I thought before, that they were having an affair again."
Since she said that...
Xu Gui said, "Okay then, I'll say it." "
Actually, you don't need to care whether that woman is the other woman between you and your boyfriend," she began, revealing something that had been bothering the girl, "because, to be honest, the other woman is actually you."
The girl spat out a mouthful of water: "Pfft!"
"Me?!" she asked in utter shock, "The other woman is me? Me, my boyfriend and I got together five years ago, after graduating from university!"
Xu Gui said, "Your boyfriend was a gigolo in college, did you know that?"
The girl: "Huh?"
The girl felt that she had been dumbfounded far too many times today. Netizens said they could never predict what she would say next, but now she felt that what Xu Gui would say next was the most unpredictable thing.
"Your boyfriend did a summer job during college, you know, as a male prostitute. That's when he met this 'older sister,' and they've been in contact ever since..."
Of course, this contact wasn't just physical; it also included physical intimacy.
So, in the end, those two got entangled first, and only then did the girl and her boyfriend start dating.
The girl was bewildered: So, I'm the other woman?
Xu Gui continued, "They've maintained a relationship for seven or eight years. Oh, by the way, you've met that woman's son, haven't you? Don't you think he looks a lot like your boyfriend?"
The girl: "...You mean...?"
Xu Gui nodded: "That's right, just like you think. That child is actually your boyfriend's son!"
The girl: "..."
Netizens: "..."
"Doesn't that woman's husband have any objections?" the girl couldn't help but ask. Perhaps because this matter was so explosive, she actually felt her initially agitated emotions had calmed down.
Then, she became curious.
Xu Gui: "That man was impotent, which led to NTR. He couldn't have children anyway, so he became a father without pain, of course he had no objections."
Xu Gui thought humans were truly amazing, able to create countless peculiar terms, like "NTR," every human is a genius.
The girl said in a subtle tone: "So, all these years, the three of them have lived like this? Is this what they call 'I'm not here to break up this family, but to join it'?"
Hearing the girl's words, countless netizens burst out laughing:
[Sister, do you remember you were also involved? Your gossip-watching tone is so real, it completely makes me feel like I'm watching gossip with you.]
[Mainly because this matter is so explosive, being involved doesn't seem to matter anymore.]
[Sister has such a good mentality, if it were me, my mentality would definitely have collapsed.]
[What's next, what's next?] The
girl's sudden shift from being directly involved to becoming a bystander elicited laughter from the live stream chat. Seeing the comments, she sighed, "It's come to this, I can only try to find humor in the situation."
She added thankfully, "My only consolation is that I discovered this before the wedding. Separating now is easy; otherwise, if we were married, it wouldn't be so simple."
She felt she had passed her initial anger, though she was still quite upset, just calmer.
"Since the three of them have already formed a family, why is he still with me?" This was what bothered her most. "Their lives are so exciting, why drag me into it?"
If these three were all in cahoots and none of them were harming a fourth person, it would be a case of mutual consent. But they dragged the girl into it, which she couldn't understand.
Hearing the girl's question, Xu Gui was also puzzled. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you thinking about perverted ideas? Perverts are perverted because their thoughts are different from normal people."
The girl suddenly understood. She murmured, "You're right. Why should I think about perverted ideas? This is their fault!"
The girl gritted her teeth.
"Master, thank you for telling me all this. I know what to do..." The girl's tone seemed to carry a murderous intent. She abruptly ended the call, clearly going to cause trouble for her "boyfriend."
Xu Gui took a sip of water and prepared for the next person.
But before the next lucky winner could be drawn, she heard the cameraman say, "Teacher Xu, check Weibo!"
Xu Gui: "What's wrong?"
The cameraman looked at her with his phone, which was clearly showing Weibo's trending topics. He said, "The National Museum has responded to the Mao family matter!"
Meanwhile, in Xu Gui's live stream, a bright, enlarged bullet comment scrolled across the screen: [The National Museum has responded to the Mao family matter. Mao Taiping, Mr. Mao, he really donated so much gold and antiques to the country!!!]
