Yan Han called out hesitantly, and Lin Jianlu gave a “hmm” before looking up, intently and focused, waiting for his next words.
A strange thought swirled in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After a long moment of protracted contemplation and uncertainty, Yan Han hesitantly asked, “…What’s your Maowei username?”
Lin Jianlu: “…”
“Could it just be the first six digits of pi?”
At this point, Yan Han suddenly remembered. Earlier, when Lin Jianlu was explaining a problem to him, he had said that he thought pi, an infinite, non-repeating decimal, was the most beautiful number sequence in the world.
Lin Jianlu had just mentioned it casually, and Yan Han had simply thought, “Big Brother Lin, how amazing!” Even his passions were different from those of us mere mortals!
But now, thinking about it, using the number sequence he loved most as his account name… seemed entirely possible!
Looking at Lin Jianlu in shock, Yan Han suddenly realized—yes, it had to be Lin Jianlu. Otherwise, what rich person would be interested in him? Even if they were, they’d just be interested. Who would spend so much money on him?
Now, looking at Lin Jianlu’s expression…it was practically certain!
“Big, big, big Brother Lin!” Yan Han nearly spat out a mouthful of saliva. He quickly gulped down his drink to calm his nerves, then wiped his mouth. “You’re the one giving me money, aren’t you?!”
Yan Han couldn’t help but recall when he first noticed this wealthy man!
…The first time he noticed this guy with a string of letters was, of course, when he first gave him a chicken breast worth two thousand yuan.
He didn’t know why at the time. Back then, his livestream wasn’t popular at all, with only about ten or so views a day. Then, suddenly, he received this.
Two thousand yuan was a small sum in the livestreaming world, and while Yan Han was grateful then, he wasn’t as flattered as he was today.
The second time…
“I told you… as long as the other party’s donation is completely voluntary, the reward belongs to you,” Lin Jianlu said. “There’s nothing to worry about.”
“No…” Yan Han scratched his head, unable to put his finger on the feeling.
The first time was understandable. Back then, he had only been broadcasting for a short time, and the two of them weren’t familiar. It was likely that Lin Jianlu didn’t even know who he was when he threw him the gift.
But the second time… he remembered it very clearly. It was when he’d just finished a fight and wasted the entire night at the police station.
He couldn’t sleep that night, so he casually started a livestream to watch some videos, and ended up receiving another piece of chicken breast…
It had to be said, because he was so exhausted both physically and mentally at the time, that sudden appearance of chicken breast in the middle of the night left a particularly deep impression on him.
If he hadn’t known it was Lin Jianlu, it would have been fine, but now that he suddenly recognized the identity, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was told it was just a coincidence.
“I really wanted to comfort you then,” Lin Jianlu said directly this time. “I know you were wronged, from some thoughts… but I had no evidence at the time, so I couldn’t immediately exonerate you.”
“…Oh.”
Yan Han suddenly found it easier to accept.
If it was Lin Jianlu… that was perfectly normal.
“And I thought you were so diligent studying after returning home, even after all that.”
“Uh.” The older brother felt a little guilty. “I was just so excited I couldn’t sleep…”
“Can’t sleep without studying?”
“Yeah!”
“If that’s not diligence, what is it?”
“…I guess so.”
Yan Han roared inwardly. Why did he always feel so awesome when talking to Big Brother Lin?
He asked Lin Jianlu when he’d seen his livestream, and when he’d known it was him.
Lin Jianlu always replied vaguely, “A little earlier.”
….
Yan Han then asked why he’d invested so much money in him later, and Lin Jianlu brushed it off with a single sentence: “Aren’t we friends?”
Because they were friends, he wanted to give gifts, support, and cheer him on. It was the same way Wen Juerong and Li Hongqing had fought on his behalf, only Lin Jianlu was doing it his own way.
“And, as I said before, you really don’t have to take it too seriously,” Lin Jianlu said.
“Huh?”
“Because… it’s not a lot of money.”
“…”
The two exchanged glances, and with a chuckle, Lin Jianlu actually laughed.
The corners of the lips on both sides raised upwards and exposed a row of neat and white teeth, even the pair of phoenix eyes and eyes were slightly raised upwards…
This was the first time he had seen him laughing like this, so Yan Han couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that Big Brother Lin was joking with him again. Yan Han was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
However, after such a fuss, he felt a lot more relaxed. And he sincerely said to Lin Jianlu, “Thank you, thank you brother.”
“Yes.”
But Lin Jianlu had stopped smiling, although his eyes were still bright, his expression still had a smile.
Lin Jianlu said sincerely: “I should thank you as well.”
“Huh? How do you say it?”
“It’s your live broadcast that is really good.”
“Huh??” Yan Han didn’t understand even more.
Others liked to watch his live broadcast, saying that they liked the feeling of the anchor broadcasting every time they wanted to get distracted, but Big Brother Lin didn’t seem they type to get distracted?
….
“Well…” At this time, Big Brother Lin suddenly changed the subject again. He looked up at the sky and said, “It’s so late, where are you going to sleep at night?”
“Ah…” Yan Han then remembered this question.
When he ran out, he just thought of it as a way to indulge himself tonight. Indulgence meant doing something without considering the consequences and without considering what would happen in the future.
This was one of Big Brother’s many flaws, but if it weren’t for this flaw, he wouldn’t be the Yan Han he was today.
But by the time they’d finished their late-night snack, it was finally time to consider the consequences…
He’d jumped out easily, but climbing back down… probably impossible.
He came from a humble background, and he didn’t have the skills to climb up a rope.
But it didn’t matter; he could sleep anywhere.
As long as he didn’t run into anyone he knew and there was no risk of being caught, Big Brother felt that sleeping on the street was also perfectly fine.
Anyway, the weather was just right now, the temperature was also suitable…
“…” Lin Jianlu said: “Why don’t you stay at my house for one night, I’ll take you back tomorrow morning.”
“This, this is too much of a disturbance, I can’t do that.”
“It doesn’t matter, I have many rooms at home, there are ready-made guest rooms.”
“But it’s so late to go back… Forget it, just go back by yourself, don’t disturb your parents.”
“I’m the only one at home, I won’t be disturbed by you.”
After saying that, Lin Jianlu drank the soda in the glass bottle in front of him, then stood up and said: “Boss, please settle the bill.”
“…”
