Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Injured on the Job

Lin Zhou is a small internet celebrity who took the attractive livestreaming route and didn’t continue his studies after graduating high school.

However, he looks pretty good, and during high school he gained some popularity on the internet by flaunting his style and dancing suggestively, accumulating over 100,000 followers after graduation.

During high school, Lin Zhou tried to pursue Xu Ying but was rejected because Xu Ying said she wanted to focus on her studies.

This was the first time Lin Zhou, known as the class hunk, had been rejected by someone, and he still holds a grudge about it.

Lin Zhou planned this livestream interaction carefully.

He saw the trending topics last night and realized Xu Ying had gone to the desert to work as an animal rescuer!

Seeing that the rescue station was shabby and rundown, Yu Ying was dusty and dirty, while Lin Zhou lived in a chic high-end duplex apartment, he felt extremely satisfied and wanted to mock Xu Ying while connecting via livestream to feel superior.

And incidentally grab some of the heat from Xu Ying’s livestream.

“Xu Ying, when I was pursuing you back then, didn’t you say you wanted to study well and didn’t think much of a small internet celebrity like me?”

Holding a ragdoll cat in his arms, Lin Zhou stroked the cat’s fur and said, “How come now after graduating from college you are also livestreaming?”

Lin Zhou’s hand was adorned with metal accessories, looking as though he could open a hardware store. The sharp decorations pricked the ragdoll cat, who didn’t like his touch but was held too tightly to escape.

The livestream viewers exploded upon hearing Lin Zhou drop these bombshells!

[Wow, isn’t this Station Chief Xu’s classmate? Quite handsome, and they seem like a good match.]

[No way, this guy uses a foundation shade whiter than my wall paint and has rumors of cheating on multiple partners; he’s not a match for our Station Chief, who’s such an energetic beauty.]

Lin Zhou’s livestream fans, many of whom were girlfriend fans, became angry hearing Lin Zhou had chased after this Station Chief Xu, who rejected him because he was an internet celebrity.

Fans rushed to Xu Ying’s livestream, sarcastically sneering.

[Haha, didn’t think much of Lin Zhou back then because he wasn’t going to college and became an internet celebrity, but now after graduating college, with a low salary, you shamelessly turned to livestreaming for extra cash. Isn’t your face burning?]

[This is hilarious; now she’s copying our Lin Zhou by holding a pet during livestream, probably regretting after seeing how popular Lin Zhou became, secretly following and imitating him!]

Lin Zhou watched Xu Ying’s livestream being flooded by his fans on another phone, his face filled with smugness, noticing the rescue station was even rundown compared to rural houses, and her clothes were very shabby, which made him even happier!

Lin Zhou, in a mocking tone, said, “Old classmate, why aren’t you talking? Still looking down on me?”

Xu Ying frowned, her first livestream connection twisted by someone like him, thinking to herself this was unlucky.

Back then, she didn’t look down on Lin Zhou; she was just focused on her studies.

Original Xu was an orphan like herself, and for people like them without anyone to rely on, college entrance exams were a chance to change destiny, a stepping stone.

Seeing Lin Zhou’s smug face, Xu Ying really wanted to reach through the internet and hit him.

She let out a cold laugh, “What’s your problem?”

“Can’t control your mouth from biting people or just randomly relieving yourself?”

Xu Ying directly started scolding, something the viewers didn’t expect.

The viewers in Xu Ying’s livestream cheered hearing her retort!

Having witnessed Xu Ying’s careful gentleness earlier, they couldn’t believe she was such a snob in high school!

Lin Zhou was taken aback, “Where are your manners? How can you curse? Flustered? Broken?”

“Oh, sorry I was quick with my words.” Xu Ying smiled, “I was asking what’s wrong with your cat?”

“I’m a vet, treating animals; or are you admitting you’re not human?”

“Starting off by slandering me, I don’t know what you’re doing here. If you want treatment, I suggest you contact internet celebrity psychiatrist Director Xu.”

“After all, I never said I looked down on you, about poor grades leading to becoming an internet celebrity, maybe your memory is mixed up. How about we verify with high school classmates and reminisce what my attitude was then?”

Xu Ying’s rapid-fire output was like a machine gun, with a vibrant innocent face saying sharp words, making many viewers in her stream like this Station Chief even more.

[Station Chief is awesome! Totally speaks for me!]

[Four years later, remembering until now shows this guy is truly petty, and he isn’t even that handsome, with filters and skin-smoothing applied.]

Xu Ying’s strong output completely baffled Lin Zhou; he wasn’t good at arguing, only suggestive dancing.

With clear disdain on her face for Lin Zhou, Xu Ying said, “If your cat is fine, then leave my livestream.”

“Using cat health resources to find presence here, aren’t you ashamed?”

Lin Zhou’s face turned red from the scolding, while Xu Ying’s stream attracted more viewers, and even random fans were siding with Xu Ying, some pouring into Lin Zhou’s stream.

Seeing the situation was wrong, Lin Zhou quickly held up his ragdoll cat as a shield.

“My cat definitely isn’t feeling well; that’s why I connected with you. As a vet, why are you so impatient?”

The ragdoll cat in Lin Zhou’s hands drooped its ears, looking listless, indeed not in normal condition.

Faced with the little animal, Xu Ying’s tone became gentle. “What’s the kitty’s name? What’s wrong?”

Lin Zhou held back his frustration and replied honestly, “Rongrong.”

“It’s recently been going crazy and scratching me for no reason, leaving me with lots of injuries.”

Lin Zhou said this while lifting his shirt, revealing scratches from the cat on his abs.

Xu Ying quickly covered her eyes, frozen in place:…Damn!

Cunning and suggestive man!

Are you here in my livestream to attract business?

Fans in Lin Zhou’s livestream screamed seeing Lin Zhou’s abs, calling him handsome!

Lin Zhou watched his fans swoon, suppressing his smile, with a feigned sincerity and worry, “So, Doctor Xu, what’s wrong with Rongrong?”

Xu Ying resisted the urge to roll her eyes, “Can you focus the camera on the cat, please?”

“Your useless abs aren’t interesting; my ear fox cub is less than a month old, very smart and can understand human language.”

“Showcasing suggestively in front of Little Treasure, are you out of your mind?”

Xu Ying voiced many viewers’ thoughts; besides Lin Zhou’s fans, who wanted to see? People came for the Station Chief’s advice and cute, fresh young creatures.

[Station Chief, great scolding! If not for the kitty really looking unwell, the Station Chief probably would have ended the stream early, calling it work injury.]

[This male anchor better pay me with a pair of eyes; clearly here to ride Yingying’s popularity!]

Such suggestiveness isn’t something to speak openly about; Lin Zhou was scolded by Xu Ying, turning red as a monkey’s rear, hurriedly focusing the camera on the ragdoll cat.

Xu Ying saw the cat and changed her expression in an instant, her demeanor gentle: “Rongrong, why have you been scratching people lately? Are you not feeling well?”

The ragdoll cat Rongrong sounded very forlorn: “Meow meow meow~”
