Right now, Liu Man didn"t know about the messy thoughts ongoing inside Shen Mozhen"s head. She had already forgotten about Tang Tu as she tried her best not to suffocate while moving along in the subway trains while heading back home within the huge crowds of people who had just finished work.
It was already eight when she arrived at home. Zhang Pei made dinner for her. As she ate, she told her mother, "Mom, I"m going to sell all my AJs."
"Aren"t they your treasures? Before, you wouldn"t even let me or your dad touch them." Zhang Pei was stunned.
"That was before, when I wasn"t considerate and spent my money on things I shouldn"t be buying. Now that dad got himself involved in this kind of incident, I can"t just watch. The three of us are in this together, and I can"t just let you take all the responsibility."
"Don"t sell them, second-hand shoes aren"t worth that much. You don"t have to do anything about this, I will figure out what to do," Zhang Pei still loved and cared about her daughter too much. Collecting AJs was one of Liu Man"s few hobbies, and she still remembered her daughter"s smile that came from her heart every time she received a pair of AJs.
"I already sold a pair today and earned a thousand RMB," Liu Man took out her phone to show her mother the transaction record, "Look, I only put up the post for about one day, and someone had already bought it. It"s actually very easy to sell my AJs, since those AJ fans love these kinds of limited versions."
Zhang Pei saw the line that said "Successful order and transaction", and was very surprised. Before, this pair of shoes used to be Liu Man"s favorite ones, and it was a limited version. Liu Man finally got it online after staying up past midnight. Zhang Pei wanted to tell her daughter not to give up her hobbies, but when she looked into her daughters" eyes, she saw a slight glint in her dark black eyes.
Before, there used to be recklessness, willfulness, and even a bit of arrogance and soleness, in front of family, of course, in these eyes. But right now, they had a sheer clearness. Zhang Pei felt as if her eyes had magical powers that could let her relax and confidently believe in her. No matter how hard and long the path in front of them was, it would be alright in the end.
Zhang Pei"s expression turned into a smile, which was rarely seen on her face these days, "Forget it, forget it. I"m not going to interfere then, go do whatever you want."
After she fed Daylight and took care of her cat litter, Liu Man started preparing for livestream. She didn"t have a phone holder, so she simply held the phone up by putting it on a pile of thick books on the middle of the table. She adjusted the position for a few moments, and then finally adjusted the front camera of the phone into an almost perfect angle.
At exactly nine o"clock in the evening, Liu Man started her livestream.
In the viewers" list, the first two were "HeheHaha" (Li Xiaoru) and "NANA" (w.a.n.g Nina), they had been waiting for Liu Man for a long time.
"Hey sis, you"re finally online!" –HeheHaha
"We"ve been waiting for so long" –HeheHaha
"Please start soon" –HeheHaha
…
Liu Man never knew that Li Xiaoru was a spammer, yet the comment section was filled with her messages in less than a moment.
"Whoa, so you"re live-streaming at home today, sis?" –I"m here for the shoes
"Yeah, I came home from school today," She answered and peered at the viewers" list with the corner of her eyes. Excluding her two "fake audience" members, the three other viewers were all familiar to her, "I"m here for the shoes", "Dragon"s Roar", and the "Otaku Boy" who accidentally entered the livestreaming room yesterday.
"Dragon"s Roar, I"ve already sent out your shoes today. If there is any problem with it when it arrives at your address, feel free to contact me anytime." Liu Man said.
Dragon"s Roar, who didn"t write anything in the comments section, sent a message, "Alright, thanks."
At this moment, a few more viewers entered the live-streaming room.
"Aye, our live-stream girl not only has good looking legs, but also has a pretty nice neck. ?" — Otaku Boy.
The air conditioner was on, so Liu Man wore a pair of tight and light blue pajamas, which had long sleeves and long trousers. Through the screen, the audiences could only see her pale, long neck and pointy chin. Sometimes they could also catch a glimpse of hair hanging down.。
"Girl, can u please show us your face" –Otaku Boy.
"Sister, if you"re willing to show us your face, then I"ll spam you with a castle." –Otaku Boy.
TL"s Note: just so u don"t know, castle is one of the "presents" fans give livestreamers which could be brought by real money and when the livestreamer get the present, it would automatically be exchanged into real money
Liu Man"s face reddened again, she felt like she was being flirted with online.
"Pervert f.u.c.k off, our live-streamer"s here to show us her AJs." –HeheHaha.
"I want to see the AJs, but I also want to see a beauty." –Otaku Boy
"To be honest, I"m also curious about how our livestreamer looks like." –I"m here for the shoes.
"Show us the AJs!" –NANA
w.a.n.g Nina"s comment reminded Liu Man.
"I will now show you my cloakroom."
Liu Man picked up her phone and switched to the rear camera. She then walked into her cloakroom, focused it on her whole wall filled with AJs, and said while slowly filming the pile from the top to the bottom, "This is my entire collection of AJs."
"Wow, this is so shocking, so eye catching, and so colorful!" –I"m here for the shoes
"This girl has a mine in her house!" –andy my euphoria.
TL"s Note: this is something that"s commonly said in china, basically deeper meaning = rich, cuz if u have a mine ur rich ?
Seeing a comment from an unfamiliar viewer, Liu Man quickly explained, "If I have a mine at my house, would I even be selling second-handed AJs?"
"Ooh, I love your interior decoration style. I also love your AJs, the only thing is that my shoe size, 38, is too big for your AJs?" –Peach is a fairy
So far, Liu Man"s viewers were all female, well, except for Otaku Boy, of course.
"Sis, can I get a closer look at the 2nd row to the left on the top, the 3rd pair of shoes?" –andy my euphoria
"Of course you can."
Liu Man stood on her tiptoes and reached for the pair of shoes,
"This pair of shoes are one of the early ones that I bought. I wore it a few more times than the others, but it still looks pretty new," Liu Man zoomed in on the shoes.
"Ahhhhhhhh, this is my most wanted pair of AJs. When it just came out, I was in tenth grade and spent a lot of time earning and saving up my allowance. But when I finally got enough money, they stopped selling it. ?" — andy my euphoria
"If you really want it, I can make it cheaper. I wore it a few times anyway," Liu Man directly told her the price honestly, "800 RMB would be enough," The original price was 2488 RMB.
"I love people with straightforward personalities!" –andy my euphoria.
Suddenly, a golden carriage appeared on the screen. A butler with white blouses and black uniform sat in the carriage, he waved his baton and countless small stars fell, as if it was raining stars.
"andy my euphoria sent you a blissful carriage." A line of caption, red and bold, appeared at the bottom of the comment section.
A notification jumped onto her screen.
"Jesus christ, she must be a parvenu! And she said that you own a mine, she probably has a mine. She gave you 500RMB!" Li Xiaoru, on the other side of the screen, was extremely excited. A blissful carriage equaled 5200 coins in the app, and 10 coins in that app equaled 1 RMB.
Liu Man was also very surprised, "Thank you, andy my euphoria!"
"I"ve already ordered on Xian Yu, remember to mail the shoes to me tomorrow!" –andy my euphoria
"Okay, no problem."
"Meow meow~"
"Eh? I think I heard a kitten," –Peach is a fairy
Liu Man lowered her head and saw Daylight, who was sitting beside her feet, looking up at her. Her huge round eyes were staring at her owner, looking sad and innocent, as if asking for a hug. Liu Man did neglect her, after all.
"She"s my cat." Liu Man said.
"Ah, you"ve got a kitten in your house?" –Peach is a fairy
"Can you please show us your kitty? ?" –Peach is a fairy
