Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: She Nearly Lost Her Life to Protect Me!

Because of this gift, the streaming room's popularity surged once again.

[Wow, does someone really have such a big head!]

[Not only a big head, but their wallet is big too. Unlike me, a paycheck-to-paycheck kind of guy, I can't even imagine having a big head.]

Netizens initially thought only females would be obsessed with things like Eight Diagrams and the like. But upon clicking the avatar, it showed the gender as male.

Immediately, the comments poured in:

[Got it, this is a loaded rich guy. Maybe he thought the streamer looks good and is new, so he wants to get familiar.]

This kind of situation is quite common on the platform.

As the comments increased, the number of viewers shown in the top right corner of the stream also went up. From just a few people at first, it gradually grew to dozens now.

Hearing there was something interesting to watch, none of them left immediately.

Mu Yunchu ignored the chaotic comments and directly asked, "Is it convenient for us to connect on mic?"

"If it's not convenient, you can also send your fortune-telling question and photos to me backstage."

In today's society, there are still many people who pay attention to their privacy. So Mu Yunchu had to ask if he was willing to show his face in the live stream.

Unexpectedly, the netizen named Haikuotian was quite forthright and agreed to connect on mic immediately.

The screen was split in two, with Mu Yunchu on the left and the netizen who sent gifts for a fortune-telling on the right.

The stream was momentarily silent when he came on.

[Bro... you really look like some rich tycoon as I'd imagined.]

A nearly bald big head, paired with a thick neck, big eyes, and double eyelids making him look like he's about to get angry.

[Indeed, if I saw someone like this in real life, I'd definitely not dare to talk to him.]

Especially at this moment, his face starkly contrasted with Mu Yunchu's next to him.

But Haikuotian just looked fierce. After hearing the netizens say this, he wasn't a bit unhappy and even chuckled with a wide grin.

"Really? Do I look fierce?"

"A lot of people seem to have said that."

He then turned back to Mu Yunchu, "Streamer, if you can tell fortunes, can you also give names?"

"My son just got born, and we haven't decided on a name yet. How about you give him one?"

"If it's a good name, I have an extra red envelope to thank you."

He had just finished drinking, immensely happy because of his baby son.

After all, he was already over fifty, and this child could genuinely be called a son born late in life.

[Son? Bro, how old are you this year?]

[Having a child at this age, has late marriage and childbearing reached such a critical state in the country?]

[Wait, let's clear this up first. What if this netizen just looks mature?]

...

"Ha!" Haikuotian looked at these comments, waved his hand, was just about to speak when he let out a burp, enough to show how much he'd drunk before. "You guys are overthinking it."

"That's my youngest son."

He felt this was no secret and since there weren't many people now, he explained a bit to the netizens.

Haikuotian also has a now 25-year-old eldest son, born with his ex-wife. Unfortunately, they had irreconcilable differences and divorced ten years ago.

When talking about his current wife, he couldn't hide the pride in his expression.

If it weren't for the lack of a second phone, he would have wanted to show the netizens.

"She's only in her twenties, just graduated from university not long ago, kinda like..." Hastily pointing to Mu Yunchu opposite him, "Right, kinda like your age."

[Ah... this...]

[Isn't there more than a twenty-year age gap between you two?]

[I have some things in my mind but it's hard to say.]

What the netizens felt awkward saying, Haikuotian was well aware of.

"I know what you're about to say."

It was nothing other than things like she's not really in love, just with him for the money.

After all, he'd heard it often enough and was completely desensitized.

"To be honest, I didn't believe at first she was with me out of love."

[What about now? Did something happen?]

"Yes."

Maybe these conversations with the netizens triggered some memories, or perhaps it was the influence of alcohol that led to him unintentionally revealing some past events.

"She almost lost her life protecting me!"

It was one night two years ago. He had only been with his little girlfriend for less than two months then. A business adversary suddenly came for revenge, and at the critical moment, she disregarded her own safety to protect him and their son.

"Would she do that if it were just for the money?"

The bomb thrown into the house almost exploded on them.

If she hadn't risked everything to throw it out, their family might have ended then and there.

They say you see a person's true colors in a crisis.

He couldn't see more clearly.

The two have been married for half a year now, and his wife risked her life to give him a son. He boasted about giving him a good name.

While Haikuotian does indeed have money, he's genuinely just a big brute, having hardly gone to school and lacking in education.

He was struggling, then happened to stumble upon Mu Yunchu's streaming for inspiration.

Seeing Mu Yunchu not speaking, he thought the latter was scared and casually comforted, "Don't worry about naming, even if it's not great, it's just a few hundred bucks, I'll consider it as playing around."

[Oh my... Why do I feel like bro's face has suddenly changed, looking much handsomer than earlier!]

[I feel that too, I thought it was because I saw money and got starry-eyed.]

[Anyway, congratulations are in order first!]

[Yes, although it's bold, I still want to ask if you still need a son, I'm asking for a friend.]

[The one above is 'making up friends' on the spot, huh.]

The group suddenly shifted from their earlier comments to a flood of congratulations, making Haikuotian very happy.

"Thank you, thank you. If any of you are locals, you can come to my son's one-month banquet for a meal."

"It's at the Seaside International Hotel."

To show his sincerity, he directly mentioned the hotel's name.

Happiness should be lively; what's a little more spending?

[Seaside International? Isn't that the one where a table costs tens of thousands? Holding a one-month banquet there and inviting us casually, this bro is richer than I imagined!]

[So jealous, why are some people born so lucky? They say all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born right in Rome!]

Amidst the chat room going off-topic, Mu Yunchu spoke up timely to interrupt, confirming once again, "You want your youngest son's name divined, right?"

"That's right."

"But from your face, the child star palace position, shines with a single star, its light is clear and correct, it indicates a sign of having one son. The tail eyebrow trend, the length of the philtrum, all accord with the lone son sign, guessing at the present, only having one son."

She slightly frowned, seeming to have understood the truth, her calm black eyes fixed on him as she spoke with a voice as refreshing as a clear spring, yet delivering a shocking statement: "That means, as of now, you should have only one son."

Haikuotian: ???
