Chapter 5: Not Enough—We Are Not Philanthropists!

Page 1/3

The handsome man in the deep brown shirt—Jiang Heming—glanced at Xia Huajiao, pondered for a few seconds, then turned and approached her, peering into her phone’s livestream. A faint scent of Gu Long perfume wafted into Xia Huajiao’s nose.

Fortunately, he maintained a respectful distance. After watching for several seconds, his gaze returned to her face. Raising his eyes to her hair, he teased her playfully.

“Oh, no wonder you look familiar. Turns out you’re the one who zapped yourself, Moonlight Jiao! Changing into this outfit does look better than last night’s chaotic electric mess!”

Xia Huajiao was taken aback. She blinked twice, suspiciously eyeing this man. “You… you’re the netizen ending with six 1’s, aren’t you?”

She remembered that the phrase “zapped yourself” was first coined by “Brother Loves Beauties 111111.”

Jiang Heming raised his thick eyebrows, a wry smirk playing on his lips. “Good, you still remember me! Ha, your livestream barely has any viewers, yet your hair is so thick—no wonder you had to zap yourself last night.”

That was certainly not a compliment.

Still, since she needed his help, Xia Huajiao shifted her gaze awkwardly and smiled sheepishly. Then she glanced at the other handsome man in the sky-blue shirt, who was still inspecting the cars.

“Well then, can this handsome guy looking at the cars answer my question?”

Jiang Heming glanced at his friend, who seemed oblivious, then grinned slyly at her. “But we’re strangers to you. Why should we answer? And you didn’t tip either of us yesterday when you thanked us!”

Sure enough, since she had kept her distance from him in the phone shop earlier, he was now getting back at her.

Immature men!

Xia Huajiao thought to herself, but for the sake of the livestream’s effect, she tilted her head playfully in a teasing manner.

“A good deed a day?”

Since childhood, her friends often praised her head tilt as adorable. Maybe these two handsome men would be touched by her sincerity?

Jiang Heming was slightly surprised. A faint smile flickered in his clear eyes, but he shook his head. “Not enough. We’re not philanthropists!”

Xia Huajiao’s large eyes moved swiftly again. “Then, just help a cute and beautiful me? I’m not ugly, and I’m not asking for your contact info—just want to ask a question. It’s not harassment, right?”

At that moment, the handsome man in the sky-blue shirt—Gu Zhaojing—looked back, examining her deeply. Then he glanced at the livestream on her phone and said calmly, “I’m here to help a friend order a car.”

Wow!

Xia Huajiao’s eyes sparkled with delight.

This handsome man was taciturn, but his voice was really similar to that of the landlord she spoke with last night!

Moreover, Jiang Heming was still bantering with her, but this gentleman had taken the initiative to answer—a truly kind soul!

Besides, his casual glance back was bright and sincere; his profile was flawless.

Her impression of Gu Zhaojing soared, and she smiled sweetly. “Thank you, handsome sir!”

Feeling triumphant, she looked at Jiang Heming, who was also staring at Gu Zhaojing in surprise.

Heh heh, her close friend was unexpectedly undermining her!

Xia Huajiao’s pride swelled further. She raised her eyebrows and waved brightly at her livestream audience.

“Hi, everyone! You heard it—the handsome guy is here to help a friend order a car!”

Suddenly, the chat flooded with messages.

[“Such a good guy, so handsome!”]

[“His voice is really pleasant!”]

[“The other handsome guy is interesting too!”]

[“I think he’s answering because he thinks Sister Jiao is beautiful!”]

[“No way, he’s probably just tired of the little handsome guy and Sister Jiao bickering, so he stepped in!”]

Heh, the last two long messages showed blind admiration from one and petty jealousy from the other!

By intuition, Xia Huajiao felt the handsome man was speaking out of sympathy.

At that moment, donations arrived one after another from “Beautiful Li” and “Tao Meijia’s Yacht.”

Within the next several seconds, the number of viewers in the livestream skyrocketed.

The holographic panel’s donation amount rapidly climbed, surpassing 1,000 yuan in less than a dozen seconds!

Xia Huajiao was in high spirits. Smiling at the slightly sulking Jiang Heming, she turned to the silver-gray 740LI sedan and circled it while livestreaming, cheerfully introducing it.

“The handsome guy is checking out this beauty, so let’s take a look too. See the streamlined body, the intelligent central control touchscreen, the exquisite interior… so spacious!”

Just by the exterior alone, she liked it!

Then, she saw Gu Zhaojing open the driver’s door and sit in with effortless grace.

Through the windshield, his front was clearly visible—definitely a wealthy heir!

The female viewers in the livestream screamed in unison, sending red hearts and playful messages.

Xia Huajiao admired him for about ten seconds, then moved to the back seat, opened the door, and sat inside. She took off her laptop backpack and continued streaming, showcasing the space within.

“This is the most expensive mild hybrid model in the showroom. The back seat has a central armrest, automatic partition… plenty of space, plush carpets—it’s really comfortable to sit in…”

She examined and shared the interior details carefully, unaware that Gu Zhaojing looked back at her in surprise, then at the empty front passenger seat, his eyes softening slightly.

After inspecting the rear seat’s amenities and features, Xia Huajiao got out of the car satisfied and addressed her viewers.

“Overall, the back seat experience in this car is excellent! Oh, looks like our kind handsome guy just got out—time for me to try the driver’s seat!”

She quickly climbed into the driver’s seat and raised her hand toward the livestream audience, showing the distance between the car roof and her head.

“See? Three fists high—very spacious!”

Leaning back into the seat, she sighed in pleasure.

“Mm, it’s very enveloping, quite comfortable.”

As for the two handsome men outside? Sorry, step aside for now!

Relaxed and commenting, she didn’t notice that both Jiang Heming and Gu Zhaojing, after getting out of their cars, were once again staring at her in surprise.

A few seconds later, Jiang Heming whispered teasingly to Gu Zhaojing, “Zhaojing, it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t cling to you! And she’s quite pretty too!”

A strange flicker flashed through Gu Zhaojing’s eyes, but he quickly looked away and calmly said, “I’m going to request a test drive.”

Jiang Heming quickly replied, “I’ll go with you!”

…

A few minutes later, Xia Huajiao stepped out of the display car in great spirits, slung her laptop bag over her shoulder, and apologized to her livestream audience.

“I’m going to test drive now, so I’ll pause the livestream and come back when I’m ready to buy. See you then!”

Her followers surged dramatically.

[“Sister Jiao is actually planning to buy a luxury car? Really? Following and waiting for the buying livestream!”]

[“Sister Jiao has a few million yuan saved up?”]

[“Is it true? Following and waiting!”]

[“+1”]

Donations exceeded 1,500 yuan.

Xia Huajiao smiled, exited the platform, mentally withdrew the amount, and then cheerfully waved to a handsome male salesperson not far away.

“Handsome sir, is this car in stock? I want to test drive it!”

After a while, with the patient salesperson’s help, she found Jiang Heming and Gu Zhaojing waiting in the boarding area.

“Sorry, gentlemen, I’d like to test drive that model too. Could I join you? I promise I won’t bother you!”

Jiang Heming was slightly stunned, then raised a playful brow.

“So, Moonlight Jiao, you think my buddy is even more handsome than Tao Ge, so you’re giving him up?”
