The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

Chapter 368 You are a good person

The guests were laughing and chatting, but in a dark corner that no one paid attention to, two men faced each other with expressionless faces.

A cold wind carried a biting chill, and the sickly pale face looked ghostly in the dim light, its eyes staring straight at the man in front of it like black holes.

"so what?"

His indifferent voice betrayed no emotion.

Ji Yu'an's tightly pursed lips slowly curved into a faint smile, her cold voice laced with a hint of mockery: "Expose my true colors to her, and then prove how innocent you are?"

Lin Chen was stumped by the question, his brows furrowing tightly. "What do you mean? I'm not like you, using underhanded methods to scheme and plot to get close to Zhou Zhou."

Surprisingly, the black-hearted lotus in front of him did not refute him.

Ji Yu'an lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

“That’s right, you are all cleaner than me. You can approach her openly and honestly, while I can only barely get close to her by using some underhanded methods.”

Sometimes I'm really jealous of these people. They have clean family backgrounds, healthy bodies, and can pursue whoever they like as they please.

And he, like his background, is someone who cannot be brought into the light.

Even standing under the dazzling spotlight, the applause and enthusiastic gazes from the audience only made him feel more like a dark and twisted monster.

"But... what kind of good thing are you?"

"You went to the hospital for a minor injury to your little fingernail, making her worry and go to the hospital to check on you. Compared to me, you are more despicable and shameless."

Lin Chen froze: "Ah...no..."

How did he know about this?

Ji Yu'an looked at him with cold eyes, the mockery in her eyes growing stronger: "What do you mean, 'not'? Does that mean you, Lin Chen, are allowed to play the victim and act pitiful in front of her, but I'm not?"

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment, and whispered in his defense, "I'm not like you."

Ji Yu'an sneered, "Yes, we are indeed different. After all, I would never shamelessly pretend to be a mistress and ruin Zhouzhou's reputation, nor would I imitate the behavior of those in brothels to harass Zhouzhou's eyes."

Lin Chen: "..."

Did this guy install surveillance on him? How does he know so much?

Lin Chen said weakly, "What's wrong with being a little cunning when pursuing a girl you like?"

Moreover, when it comes to scheming, Nanfeng and the American cockroach are even more cunning.

Oh, and we should also add that bastard Zhou Xian.

Compared to them, Lin Chen felt pitifully naive.

The only thing worth showing off was that it was burned.

The man in front of him slowly lifted his eyelids, as if he could see right through him.

Ji Yu'an said calmly, "It's normal for you to scheme for love, but it's considered despicable and shameless when it happens to me. What a huge double standard!"

Lin Chen was speechless after being rebuked. How could this black lotus be so eloquent? He should have brought Zhou Xian along too.

He gripped his phone tightly, staring coldly at Ji Yu'an: "But you're deliberately deceiving Zhouzhou."

Ji Yu'an asked, "How did I deceive her?"

Lin Chen: "You deliberately arranged for those people to appear and speak rudely to you. How can that not be considered deception?"

However, Ji Yu'an said, "But what they said is the truth. I am indeed an illegitimate child who cannot be revealed to the public. They just exposed my identity to Zhouzhou so that she would know the truth."

His breathing became slightly erratic after speaking too much in one breath.

The slightly hoarse voice continued, "And I just didn't want to deceive her, so I arranged for them to appear."

Lin Chen: "You..."

He felt like he had been led astray. He had brought the black lotus here to expose him, but now he was completely at a disadvantage.

He thought for a moment and finally found another blind spot to retaliate: "If you want Zhouzhou to know the truth, you can just tell her yourself. Why go through all this trouble?"

Ji Yu'an's expression had returned to calm, and he replied in a low voice, "Because of this shameful background, I cannot say it out loud myself."

She looked up at Lin Chen, staring directly into his eyes: "If you were an illegitimate child who couldn't be brought into the light, would you be willing to tell the girl you like about your background?"

Lin Chen was stumped again. Thinking about it carefully, what if he were an illegitimate child…

"Oh no, I'm not an illegitimate child."

Lin Chen shook his head abruptly, feeling that he had been led astray again.

Ji Yu'an said with a somber look in his eyes, "Lin Chen, you are luckier than me. Your mother was a well-bred lady from a respectable family, and you came into this world with your parents' expectations, while I am just an illegitimate child whom no one wants."

"Whether you send that video to Zhouzhou is your choice. If you think it will make you feel better to expose me to her, then do as you please."

"Anyway, in your eyes, a bastard like me doesn't deserve to like Zhouzhou at all."

Listening to his every word, Lin Chen suddenly couldn't hold his phone anymore.

I feel like a villain, holding dubious evidence, threatening the male protagonist with a tragic backstory, and forcing him to stay away from the pure and innocent female protagonist.

Lin Chen stammered, "I...I didn't look down on you..."

Ji Yu'an chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Really? You've disliked me since we were kids, haven't you? You must hate me."

Lin Chen frowned: "That's because you're too despicable. You always do dirty tricks behind people's backs and frame others for bullying you."

That's why he hates the other party's ruthless and scheming behavior.

But the adults all thought he was innocent and couldn't see through his pretense.

Ji Yu'an's eyes darkened. Having stood in the cold wind for too long, his voice sounded weak and powerless: "Unlike you, I don't have parents to protect me, so I can only protect myself in my own way."

His status as an illegitimate child was no secret, subjecting him to countless scornful looks and rejection. His body was weak, and he couldn't fight back against those sarcastic children, so he could only retaliate in his own way.

Lin Chen scratched his head. If he thought about it from Ji Yu'an's perspective, it seemed like he hadn't done anything wrong.

In fact, they're even a little pitiful.

He compromised, saying, "Fine, I won't send the video to Zhouzhou, but if I find out you have ulterior motives towards her..."

The innocent-looking girl's eyes suddenly turned fierce, carrying a blatant threat.

Ji Yu'an smiled and said to him, "Lin Chen, you are a good person."

Lin Chen, who received the "friend zone" card: "..."

Having achieved his goal, Ji Yu'an turned and left.

The smile in his eyes faded, replaced by coldness.

Good people.

Ah.
