The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 15

Chapter 15: Dog-Blood High Society

Lu Shichen picked up his fork and began to enjoy the pasta. The noodles were already lukewarm, but as Gu Xiu had said, they tasted very good.

He ate the entire plate of pasta, then took the empty plate out. As he passed through the living room, his footsteps faltered slightly.

He didn’t like to have clutter in plain sight. It was either thrown away or put away in a cabinet. The sofa was only for sitting, with only a few throw pillows. On the carpet was a small, round coffee table, which occasionally held a water glass and a remote control.

However, now, Gu Xiu’s coat was draped over the sofa. He went over to pick it up and could still feel the damp chill of winter.

He turned to hang the coat on the coat rack, and in his peripheral vision, he saw the round coffee table that was usually empty. In the very center, there was a long-stemmed glass vase that he didn’t know where it came from.

The vase was half-filled with clean water, and in it was a single, bright red, delicate rose. In the sparsely colored, spotless living room, the red rose was like a passionate, flickering flame, full of life and vitality.

Lu Shichen was drawn to it and couldn’t help but walk over.

There was a small card tucked under the vase.

It was clearly left for him.

—Bought for a hundred yuan, do not throw away ^ – ^

Lu Shichen: “…”

Never mind the hundred yuan. As long as it wasn’t bought for someone else or given by someone else, then this rose wasn’t trash.

But this cheap nephew of his, who had spent a hundred yuan on a single rose, was really…

The man’s superior and imposing figure was faintly reflected on the dark, mirror-like decorative wall. He held the card in one hand and unconsciously rubbed his forehead with the other, a faint smile on his lips.

Gu Xiu took a hot shower and felt refreshed again.

Live-streaming was no trouble for him at all, and he could even earn some money for his post-departure vacation. So he took the initiative to log into Huanya TV and streamed for a while before bed. His professionalism deeply impressed 007.

He was wearing a cross-collared bathrobe. His skin, against the black satin, shimmered with a pearly luster. The lines of his neck were long and smooth, naturally drawing the viewer’s attention to his prominent Adam’s apple, where a light brown mole was both demure and sexy.

It was Christmas night, and lonely viewers who could only watch the streamer flocked in. This scene was like adding fuel to the fire, directly igniting the comments that were always on the verge of going wild.

【Ahhhhhh holy shit, pajama play, is this something I can watch??】

【As expected, going to sea is a necessary path for streamers to make money, right? Support】

【Love to see more】

【Teacher Gu… you really don’t treat us as outsiders…】

【The mole on his Adam’s apple is so sexy uh uh uh uh I want to suck it】

Although compared to the real flesh-peddling streamers, Gu Xiu could be considered reserved and conservative. His pajamas were a simple black, and the neckline was not as low as some female streamers’.

But this was completely unable to stop the wild imagination of the comments from running rampant.

【Teacher Gu, can I lick your mole prprprprppr】

【It would be rude not to drool now】

【It’s better not to show his face, I can imagine freely hehehehe】

【Teacher Gu must be afraid of making us faint from his handsomeness, that’s why he doesn’t show his face, right? You know what they call hunger marketing and playing hard to get】

【I’m living in this live stream now. I’ll eventually get to see Teacher Gu accidentally show his face or forget to wear clothes, right? Hehehe】

Gu Xiu was playing a game on another phone, occasionally glancing at the comments.

A casual glance was enough to silence him.

007 was merciless and exposed his uncontrollable physiological reaction: 【Jiujiu, your ears seem to be red!】

Gu Xiu: “…”

If he were to pull up his bathrobe collar now, it would seem like he was trying to hide something, and who knows how these people would tease him.

Fortunately, the camera couldn’t see his face. He was a straight-as-an-arrow man, a pure man. Let alone showing his collarbone, he wouldn’t have a problem taking off his shirt in front of the camera. It was just that he had no interest in satisfying the desires of these freeloading viewers.

Clang!

A loud thud of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly sounded. Gu Xiu stood up and looked at the wall not far away. Next door was Lu Shichen’s study. He frowned. As a competent assistant, he told the viewers in the live stream to wait a moment and went out to check on the situation.

Knock, knock.

He knocked politely on the door first, then tried to press the doorknob.

The door was locked.

“Ninth Uncle?” Gu Xiu could only call out. “Are you okay?”

Knock, knock, knock.

“Ninth Uncle?”

After a long while.

Screech. It sounded like a chair scraping across the floor, followed by the sound of a man’s footsteps, which stopped on the other side of the door.

He didn’t open the door, only replied, “I’m fine, I’m busy.”

His voice sounded very hoarse and raspy. Gu Xiu moved his lips and casually expressed his concern, “Oh, okay. If you feel unwell, remember to call Butler Tong.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Shichen let out a low, muffled “Mm.”

Gu Xiu returned to his room to continue the live stream.

As soon as he came back, he was met with a screen full of excited questions.

【Where did Teacher Gu go?】

【There’s someone else in Teacher Gu’s house??!】

【What? Teacher Gu is already living with someone?】

“…”

“No.” Seeing the comments getting more and more off-track, Gu Xiu explained helplessly, “It’s a distant relative.”

A distant relative.

What a distant term.

【Why would you let a distant relative live in your house?】

【Jiujiu, you’re so rich, you have to be careful. Don’t get scammed by a distant relative】

【That’s right, even with your own parents you have to be clear about money, let alone a distant relative who’s barely related】

As a wealth-flaunting streamer, Gu Xiu couldn’t very well say that he was the one living in someone else’s house.

Tonight, his top contributor “A7993344” had been there since the beginning of the stream, but had been quietly hanging in the list, not saying a word for a long time.

It wasn’t until the topic of distant relatives came up that he made a strong appearance.

—A7993344 has sent a Dream Castle to the streamer Gugujiu!

—A7993344 has sent a Dream Castle to the streamer Gugujiu!

—A7993344 has sent a Dream Castle to the streamer Gugujiu!

…

He sent ten five-figure gifts in one go.

Gu Xiu caught the apple that almost fell off the table. He waited for the dazzling special effects to pass completely before operating his phone to check his account balance.

One, two, three, four, five, six… it had already broken a shocking six figures.

The top contributor’s generosity was sky-high. The ordinary viewers were greatly shocked, and some even urged—

【Teacher Gu, just give in, hahahaha】

【Teacher Gu, you probably don’t mind being a little richer, right?】

【The top contributor is so pure in his love. It would be unreasonable not to add his WeChat now, right?】

And the top contributor, who had been silently sending gifts in the live stream, indeed had two faces. He secretly sent a private message to the streamer.

A7993344: 【Can I add your WeChat?】

Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow. He didn’t have much of a high moral ground and certainly didn’t mind this immense fortune that had fallen from the sky.

After considering for no more than three seconds, he sent his WeChat ID.

A new friend request appeared on WeChat. Gu Xiu accepted it and, very tactfully, said to the viewers in the live stream, “That’s all for today. See you next time～”

【Ahhhhhhh nooooo!】

【You’ve only been streaming for a few dozen minutes??】

Ignoring everyone’s wails and pleas, Gu Xiu decisively ended the stream and moved to a private chat with his top contributor on WeChat.

For the sake of the hundred thousand plus in donations, he agreed to exchange WeChats. It was fine to chat occasionally and ask how he was doing. If the other party’s requests were too excessive, he could always block him later.

Gu Xiu first sent a cute mountain tit emoji as a greeting.

A7993344: 【…】

The top contributor’s WeChat nickname was also that seemingly randomly generated number ID. He started with a string of ellipses. His chatting skills seemed very worrying, with an EQ as low as the Mariana Trench.

Such a person, though wealthy, was lonely and sought solace online. It was reasonable.

Gu Xiu treated him like he treated Lu Shichen, saying in a business-like manner: 【Hello, boss. How should I address you in the future?】

A7993344: 【Just call me boss.】

Gu Xiu: “…” Fine.

He was already running out of things to say.

On the bright side, the other party wasn’t even willing to tell him his surname. He should be a person with a sense of propriety and boundaries, with good upbringing. The reason he sent him so many gifts was purely because he had too much money and nowhere to spend it. Just like ordinary people typing comments on their keyboards, he was just having fun with the donations, being willful with his money.

Just as he was about to switch out of the chat interface, the screen flashed.

A7993344: 【I want to take a closer look at the mole on your Adam’s apple.】

A7993344: 【Can you send me a few photos?】

A7993344: 【Transfer to you 10,000】

Gu Xiu immediately stood up with his phone.

At the same time, he hurriedly confirmed with 007: 【007, after the plot is over, can I take all the money I earned from live-streaming abroad?】

【As long as it’s not the inheritance left by the Gu family’s parents, you can.】 007 said. 【But it can only be used in this small world…】

That was enough assurance. Gu Xiu smiled with satisfaction: 【OK, no problem. I guarantee I won’t leave a single penny unspent in this world.】

He had only received over a hundred thousand in donations after streaming for a month. Tonight, just by taking a few harmless photos, he would get another ten thousand. This was much faster than live-streaming.

Adhering to the principle of sustainable development, Gu Xiu was quite professional. He took the photos first, preparing to confirm the payment after the boss was satisfied.

[Image][Image][Image]…

Gu Xiu sent a set of seven photos.

At the same time, in the study next door, Lu Shichen stared at the new string of messages on his phone, the lenses of his glasses reflecting a faint blue light.

The photos came one after another.

Gu Xiu was holding his phone, taking a close-up of his neck with the front camera. Inevitably, a little of his exposed chest was also included. Some photos were taken too close, without showing the edge of his pajamas, only a piece of snow-white skin that left much to the imagination, making one’s mind wander to him being completely naked.

Lu Shichen had already seen his upper body in the fitting room, so the fantasy was particularly vivid.

As Lu Shichen looked, he became a little angry. So Gu Xiu was selling his looks to some unknown person on the internet in exchange for a mere few tens of thousands of yuan?

A7993344: 【Watching your live stream, it’s clear you have a good family background. Are you still short of this money?】

Gu Xiu thought for a moment and said half-truthfully: 【You don’t know, an elder is in charge of me. He’ll freeze my cards whenever he’s unhappy. I have to save more money to prepare for the future.】

A7993344: 【…………】

Gugujiu: 【Thank you, boss ^ – ^】

Gugujiu: [Image]

He sent another photo to the other party, looking forward to their next happy cooperation.

As if worried that the mole was too inconspicuous, he spread his five fingers and clasped his own throat. The veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible, and the tiger’s mouth of his hand just happened to cup his Adam’s apple.

Lu Shichen: “…”

He shouldn’t have had any expectations for this cousin-nephew. He really was a frivolous and casual guy.

He thought so in his heart, but he still couldn’t help but open the photos, scrolling from top to bottom and back to top, zooming in again and again, staring intently, not wanting to miss a single detail, until his breathing became rapid and his body became restless.
