Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Night falls.

In the crowded night market, Zhao Zixuan held Ding Xiaoying's hand tightly and led her to a grilled squid stall.

The stall owner was a young and beautiful girl, about the same age as Zhao Zixuan and the others, but in her early twenties. Her fresh and refined face attracted the attention of many boys who were waiting in line for grilled squid.

Seeing that the stall here was so popular, Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying joined the long queue on a whim.

Five minutes later, it was finally their turn to order.

Ding Xiaoying muttered, "We have to queue so long just to eat squid. Is it really that delicious?"

A boy who had just received a grilled squid laughed and said, "The grilled squid here is absolutely delicious, otherwise why would it be called 'Squid Beauty'?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zixuan turned his gaze to the girl grilling the squid. He had to admit that she was indeed outstanding in appearance, with fair skin and delicate features.

But in his heart, even Ding Xiaoying without makeup is better than this carefully dressed "Squid Xishi".

He glanced at Ding Xiaoying with a twinkle in his eyes and said teasingly: "If she is the 'Squid Xishi', then you are the 'Fairy Chang'e' in the Moon Palace."

Ding Xiaoying covered her mouth and chuckled. Although she felt that the metaphor was a bit strange, she still found it very useful.

She blinked and deliberately asked, "So who do you think is prettier, the 'Fairy Chang'e' or the 'Goddess Qiuya'?"

The so-called "Goddess Qiuya" naturally refers to Zhan Yishang.

Isn't this the old question of who is more handsome, me or Mr. Xu from the north of the city?
Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly and laughed: "I am face-blind, everyone looks the same to me."

Ding Xiaoying saw his expression and knew that he was deliberately keeping silent. She rolled her eyes and said, "Can a face-blind person tell that I am the 'Fairy Chang'e'? Aren't you just slapping yourself in the face by saying this?"

Zhao Zixuan glanced at the "squid beauty" who was concentrating on grilling, and said mischievously: "I'm not slapping you in the face, I'm speaking from the heart. Usually in our minds, there is only one common standard to judge whether a girl is beautiful or not..."

He paused deliberately, and when he saw Ding Xiaoying approaching with curiosity, he continued, "That is - 10 points for grass, 0 points for no grass."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaoying was speechless and her eyes almost turned into a pout.

However, the "Squid Beauty" burst out laughing, as if she agreed with Zhao Zixuan's vulgar remarks which seemed absurd at first glance, but made some sense upon closer thought.

"Handsome, your squids are ready."

The squid beauty's voice was crisp and pleasant, and she handed over the grilled squid that had just come out of the oven, steaming hot.

Ding Xiaoying swiftly picked a bunch and gently brought it to Zhao Zixuan's mouth, saying softly, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Zhao Zixuan took a bite and savored it carefully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "It tastes really good, no wonder it's called 'Squid Beauty', your cooking skills are really good, it's worth it that we queued for so long."

He took out his phone, scanned the code to pay, and suggested to Squid Xishi: "Boss, have you ever considered live streaming on a short video platform? For example, Tianlai APP or Douyin APP, just do daily business live streaming."

Squid Xishi shook her head slightly, obviously not familiar with these new things.

Zhao Zixuan continued to persuade, "You can actually give it a try. Just download a short video app on your phone. When you sell squid, you can start a live broadcast and interact with the fans in the live broadcast room. It's not a big deal. You're so beautiful, you'll definitely be able to attract a lot of fans."

"If you're lucky, the income from tips in one day might be more than your sales in half a month. If you're interested, you can think about it. In the next few years, the end of the universe will be live streaming sales."

After listening to Zhao Zixuan's remarks, "Squid Xishi" was somewhat moved, but facing the unknown, she seemed to remain vigilant and cautious.

Maybe they are afraid of being cheated.

Zhao Zixuan saw it and understood her concerns, so he didn't try to persuade her too much. He just scanned the code and paid, then went to the next stall with Ding Xiaoying.

Shortly after they left, Squid Xishi handed over the task of grilling the squid to her younger brother, and picked up her mobile phone to search for relevant information about short video live streaming in the browser.

After searching for a while, the urge in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she finally couldn't help asking her brother: "Little brother, do you know the Tianlai APP or the Douyin APP?"

While grilling squid, the younger brother nodded and responded: "Of course I know, these two are the most popular short video apps now. Sister, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Squid Xishi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then do you know what live streaming is?"

My brother thought for a moment and replied, "It's a model where real people appear on camera to sell goods, just like TV shopping. Viewers can directly place orders to buy things in the live broadcast room, and they can also give tips to the anchor. I've seen a lot of internet celebrities doing live broadcasts recently, but I haven't paid much attention to them, and I haven't bought anything in the live broadcast room."

At this time, a young guest in the front row heard their conversation and couldn't help but interrupted: "Squid Xishi, are you going to do a live broadcast? If you are the anchor, I will definitely give you a reward to support you! You are so beautiful, you will definitely be popular as an anchor!"

Someone nearby echoed, "I support it too! The live streaming industry is so popular now. I have a friend who quit her job to focus on live streaming after only half a month of live streaming. She looks pretty average. If you were to do the live streaming with Squid Xishi, you would definitely beat her in seconds!"

However, some people disagree: "How can live streaming be that easy? Don't make it sound so easy. It's a waste of time for a small anchor with no fame to do live streaming. The real money is made by those big internet celebrities and stars."

The younger brother retorted unconvincedly: "My sister's appearance is no worse than those internet celebrities, why can they become popular but my sister can't?"

He turned to Squid Xishi and said, "Sis, if you want to do a live broadcast, I support you! Let's start tomorrow! Whatever equipment you need, I'll buy it for you tomorrow!"

Squid Xishi felt an uneasy urge to try it out.

After careful consideration, she said, "Brother, I have made up my mind. I will study it carefully when I go back today, and we will start the official live broadcast tomorrow!"

The younger brother smiled and said: "That's great, my sister is going to be a big star!"…………

Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying continued to stroll hand in hand in the bustling night market. The colorful neon lights around them were flashing, as if reflecting their smiles, outlining an extremely romantic picture.

"Zixuan, look at that candy figurine stand, so cute!"

Ding Xiaoying said excitedly, pointing at the artist at a stall not far away.

Zhao Zixuan smiled and nodded, holding her hand tightly, and walked towards the candy figurine stall together.

Ding Xiaoying stared at the candy figurine stall. The sugar spoon in the hands of the artist seemed to have magic power, turning the melted syrup into vivid pictures. She couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Zhao Zixuan noticed her liking for it and said softly, "If you like, let's get together as a pair."

Soon, they each held a lifelike sugar man in their hands, one looked like a handsome boy, and the other looked like a playful girl, just like the golden boy and jade girl in reality.

Ding Xiaoying looked at the little sugar man in her hand, her eyes full of love, and she was reluctant to taste it.

"Such a cute little sugar man, shall we take a photo as a souvenir?"

she suggested suddenly.

Zhao Zixuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said seriously: "You can take pictures, but you can't post them on WeChat Moments."

Ding Xiaoying glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Why are you such a spoiler! Why can't I post on WeChat Moments?"

Zhao Zixuan touched his nose and explained, "You are a future big star, so it is better to keep a low profile."

Ding Xiaoying thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Her first movie was about to be released, and it was indeed not appropriate for her to casually expose her private life on social platforms.

"Okay, then we can just take pictures of the sugar man and our hands without showing our faces, right?"

She said as a second choice.

Zhao Zixuan nodded. As long as he didn't show his face, everything else would be fine.

Afterwards, the two held hands tightly, stood in front of the busy candy figurine stall, and captured this moment of romance with their mobile phone cameras.

In the camera, the two exquisite sugar figures seem to be miniatures of the two of them, closely connected, silently telling the sweetness and tacit understanding between them.

Zhao Zixuan's fingertips gently stroked the back of Ding Xiaoying's hand, conveying a faint warmth and peace of mind.

There was a slight "click" sound, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Ding Xiaoying admired the photos on the mobile phone screen with satisfaction, a happy smile on her face.

She winked mischievously and said to Zhao Zixuan, "Look, our hands match so well!"

Zhao Zixuan also showed a gentle smile. He scratched Ding Xiaoying's nose lovingly and said softly, "Yes, such a perfect match, hands are destined to be held together forever."

Ding Xiaoying suddenly felt as happy as if she had eaten honey.

Their smiles were particularly dazzling in the crowd, as if the whole world was infected by this sweetness.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Mrs. He suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by four tall bodyguards in black.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if she could see through everything.

When she saw Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying being so intimate, the expression on her face instantly became serious.

Mrs. He's sudden appearance broke the romantic and warm atmosphere.

Her eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning back and forth between Zhao Zixuan and Ding Xiaoying, finally stopping on Zhao Zixuan's face.

Her voice was filled with reproach and dissatisfaction: "Zhao Zixuan, are you doing this to Jieyu? What do you think of her? She is so devoted to you, but what about you? How do you treat her?"

Zhao Zixuan was caught off guard by Mrs. He's questioning. He never expected that He Jieyu's mother would suddenly appear here.

So am I being followed?

He didn't have time to think about it, and explained: "Auntie, you may have misunderstood, we didn't, it's not what you think..."

But Mrs. He obviously didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation. She interrupted him and said, "Misunderstanding? I saw it clearly. You were laughing so happily and intimately together just now. Anyone who is not blind can see the relationship between you two."

"Zhao Zixuan, I just want to ask you one question. Where did you put my daughter's love?"
