The Truth Revealed: The Cat's Refusal to Drink Water Was Due to a Leaky Automatic Water Dispenser?
The girl with the cool voice never dreamed that this was the reason. After learning the reason, she hugged her cat and sincerely apologized to it, then thanked Xu Gui before leaving with her grumbling pet, feeling embarrassed.
As the other party hung up the voice message, Xu Gui's live stream fell silent again.
Taking advantage of this break, Xu Gui had the cameraman point the lens at the jellyfish in the aquarium, while she picked up the [Miaoyu] brochure and began to read it aloud as if it were an introduction—she really was an extremely responsible spokesperson, of course, whether she was qualified or not, she didn't know.
But she would try her best to make her "good friend" and sugar daddy feel that the three million their company spent on her was worthwhile.
Look at her, how responsible and serious she is about the promotion! So, even if the promotion effect is not good, it can't be blamed on her.
Xu Gui muttered to herself.
There's one thing: although she seemed very enthusiastic, her voice was serious but lacked any skill or emotion in its delivery—it was a perfect example of "reading aloud with
a stick in her mouth." Everyone in her livestream was already laughing, with comments like:
[I don't know why, but even though Xu Gui was introducing it so earnestly, I still wanted to laugh. Maybe it's because her tone was too serious?]
[Does anyone understand my weirdly cute moments? Xu Gui's reading aloud voice is strangely adorable! If these jellyfish are really as she describes them, I'd really like to buy two. Is this what they call reverse marketing?]
[Are these baby jellyfish today? They look so ethereal! I've always thought jellyfish are dreamy creatures, and I have two at home. But these jellyfish from [Miaoyu] seem to have even more dreamy colors. If it were nighttime, with lights in the aquarium, they would definitely look amazing!] [
Camera, camera, don't point it at the aquarium! Point it at Xu Gui's face! You're not very good at filming, are you? To promote jellyfish, you need to have Xu Gui standing with them! Have her sit on a stool next to the aquarium, like she did with the fish before. That scene would be so beautiful!]
[This reminds me of that time when Xu Gui was surrounded by betta fish, and the camera captured her through the aquarium glass. That picture was amazing! The composition, the lighting, the angle—everything was perfect. Even if the situation were to repeat itself, I probably couldn't take such a perfect photo. That picture is still my wallpaper; I'm always amazed when I see it.]
[I have that photo too!!] Xu Gui is practically a siren herself! I always thought she was the innocent type, but that picture made me feel like she had a siren-like allure, an almost superhuman quality about her. She's so beautiful!]
The memories of the longtime fans in the live stream were stirred back to that day on Douyu. Thinking of that picture, that scene, countless people were snapping screenshots on their phones, and those screenshots are still on their phones.
As for that live stream replay, it's currently the most viewed of Xu Gui's live stream replays.
So now, when someone mentions it, seeing Xu Gui standing there with the booklet suddenly brings back memories of that day.
[Let Xu Gui sit next to the aquarium!] More and more netizens are suggesting this.
The guy following the live stream was watching the chat, so he saw the suggestions from the netizens. He glanced at Xu Gui and whispered to her.
Everyone dared to say it, and Xu Gui dared to listen. After hearing it, she immediately grabbed a stool and sat down next to the aquarium.
As she approached, she heard a very quiet swimming sound coming from the aquarium. Turning her head, she unsurprisingly saw five jellyfish swaying their "skirts" as they approached her.
Xu Gui simply put down her book, grabbed some brine shrimp meant for the jellyfish, and squeezed some water into the aquarium.
The [Miaoyu] employees watching this scene seemed hesitant to speak.
They vividly remembered the day they brought the betta fish home; several of them were floating belly-up in the water, looking half-dead. They initially thought something was wrong, but after careful examination, they discovered that the betta fish had simply overeaten.
They had eaten so much that their bellies were almost bursting.
Fortunately, their vitality was inexplicably strong; they recovered overnight. However, the image of their bulging bellies was etched into the staff's memory—they had never seen their fish with such swollen bellies.
Watching Xu Gui feed the fish in the tank, they couldn't help but think of those betta fish… What if they brought back five jellyfish with bulging bellies? (Even though jellyfish don't have bellies.)
Betta fish can survive being overfed, but can jellyfish?
While the staff at [Miaoyu] were having doubts, Xu Gui had already finished feeding the jellyfish. Sensing the food, the jellyfish arched their backs, swallowing the brine shrimp that had fallen into the tank.
Xu Gui looked down. Yuan Lu had carefully styled her hair today, giving it a simple look, making it look significantly different from her usual sloppy style.
She was facing the camera sideways, her thick, black hair cascading down her sides, highlighting her fair and delicate face, giving her a quiet and gentle beauty.
At this moment, everyone in the live stream suddenly remembered that Xu Gui was actually a celebrity, but they had all forgotten about it because she had been telling fortunes for so long.
Looking at her face now, they couldn't help but think: No wonder she's a celebrity! Look at that face, it's truly outstanding.
Xu Gui, with her striking good looks, teased the jellyfish in the aquarium. Several jellyfish, their "skirts" swaying, obsequiously swam to near the surface, their bodies huddled together, stretching out as if trying to reach out towards Xu Gui. Xu
Gui watched, then generously reached out and touched the water.
Then, everyone witnessed a familiar scene—just like with the betta fish that day, several jellyfish swayed their bodies, their floating skirts fluttering rapidly, eagerly reaching towards Xu Gui's finger.
[Honestly, is Xu Gui really not an aquatic pet succubus? Otherwise, why did the betta fish and now the jellyfish all get so excited when they saw her, like they'd seen something extraordinary? My jellyfish almost jumped out of the tank when it heard her voice! Do you think that makes sense?]
[I've noticed that every time Xu Gui is with these aquatic creatures, there's a strange and alluring chemical reaction. They both look so beautiful. Was Xu Gui aquatic in her past life?] [
The jellyfish is beautiful, and Xu Gui is beautiful too! Waaaa, my eyes are truly feasted!]
[It's confirmed, Xu Gui is definitely the aquatic pet succubus! My fish jumped out of the tank and said that! Check out the photos on my profile if you don't believe me!]
[?? I thought you were being too abstract, how come there are actually pictures??]
[Aquatic pet succubus, terrifying!]
Just like that, Xu Gui suddenly acquired the title "Aquatic Pet Succubus." Since she was also the spokesperson for [Wonderful Fish], this nickname spread far and wide. Later, when people mentioned her, they would say, "That succubus, the one everyone in the water likes."
And now, Xu Gui, the Aquatic Pet Succubus, is still unaware of this nickname. After introducing the jellyfish of [Wonderful Fish], she went back to work, telling fortunes.
Xu Gui discovered that when she set up her stall under the overpass, she might only get one customer every half hour or an hour, so she was mostly idle. But with her fortune-telling livestream, it was a different story.
Her livestream had over ten million viewers; even if only one percent wanted her to tell their fortunes, that would still be a hundred thousand people. If she were to tell their fortunes one after another, she'd be working like a tireless ox plowing a field, with no time to rest unless she stopped.
"...I don't think this will work!" After telling the fortunes of six customers, Xu Gui turned off the recording equipment and looked seriously at the other two people in the room.
She sighed, "There are too many people in the livestream. One after another, I simply can't keep up. If I work like this every day, I'll definitely die from exhaustion!"
The cameraman asked, "What do you mean, Teacher Xu?"
Xu Gui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, limit the number of people: five in the morning, five in the afternoon! Ten people a day."
She had already calculated that, with her fortune-telling skills, ten people would be just right—not too tiring, not too idle—the perfect number.
"...Sure enough, just ten people a day will suffice," she said confidently.
Seeing her earnest expression, the person filming couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Xu, didn't you say you really want to make money?" Shouldn't you work hard to earn money?
Hearing this, Xu Gui replied matter-of-factly, "Wanting to make money doesn't conflict with being lazy or wanting to rest more!"
She wasn't particularly short of money right now; the money for her surgery on the winter solstice had already been given to the director, and some funds could be used for the orphanage's renovations, so her dream of earning 10 billion wasn't something she needed to rush. The
more Xu Gui thought about it, the more convinced she became, and she immediately made the decision: "Alright, it's decided!"
After saying that, she turned on her recording equipment, ready to share this "good news" with everyone in the live stream. However, this news was a disaster for those in Xu Gui's live stream who wanted her to tell their fortunes.
Before, competing with tens of millions of people was one thing, but now Xu Gui was limiting the number of fortunes told each day, making their already low chances of being selected even lower.
[No! Xu Gui, Master Xu, we'll give you a reward, please don't limit the number!] [
At this age, you should be daring and enterprising! Xu Gui, you can't be so decadent! How can you sleep at night at such a young age?]
[Our Gui Gui is indeed very tired. She just calculated five people in two hours and barely drank any water. We should be understanding! So, Gui Gui, you can calculate one person when you rest, one person when you sleep, and one person when you eat. See, that instantly creates four more slots! Time can be squeezed out.]
[Sister, if we're talking about ruthlessness, you're ruthless! You wish Gui Gui could tell your fortunes 24 hours a day!]
[Mainly, Xu Gui doesn't do fortune telling live every day. Once the weather cools down, she'll definitely be setting up her stall under the overpass again, and then the chances of us getting our fortunes told by her will be even lower!]
[Luckily, I live in City A, so I can get my fortune told by Xu Gui whenever I want, hehehe.]
