Sihwa saw that China was far away from Egypt and assumed that few people could afford to go to Egypt.
“This subordinate is lacking in talent. I just came back from Egypt last month. Does this mean I’ve already been promoted to a rich person’s level? The money I’m lacking—who will give it to me?”
“I’ve never gone to Egypt before, but using my butt to think, I know that going to Egypt would definitely be cheaper than going to Europe!”
“It’s already May, becoming June, now. It’s already past the peak holiday period for Egypt. Anchor, you are going now to take advantage of the cheaper price, right?”
“Anchor, be mindful of protecting yourself from the sun! If your skin becomes tanned, you will definitely lose fans!”
Sihwa gritted her teeth and glared at the bullet screens that were embarrassing her, but she was quite thankful to netizens for their sun protection reminders. She planned to call Zhang Zian in a moment to force him to buy sunscreen. It must be high-class and something she could boast about!
“I’ve been to Egypt, where there are many famous scenic spots for swimming,” someone suggested using the bullet screen, “but I can’t swim and dare not go into the water. Since the host is cosplaying a mermaid, do you want to broadcast it live after you go? You’re bound to have an increase in fans.”
Sihwa held her jaw, and seriously considered that question.
Broadcasting underwater? It sounded quite interesting.
“There haven’t been any outdoors broadcasters who have done this before. There will definitely be a lot of fans giving gifts,” that person added.
It was decided. She would do that!
Sihwa’s eyes showed the symbols of American dollars and RMB, and instantly, her concerns were gone. Anyway, her phone was waterproof, so it should be fine for her to broadcast underwater right?
“No problem!” she said confidently. “I’m sure I’ll bring you live underwater broadcasts that no one before or after me will do! Everyone, take advantage of these few days to add more money to the app! If you don’t give gifts, I won’t do it!”
It was very common for her to ask fans for gifts with different methods, and of course, fans started to insult her using bullet screens.
“The anchor is just like a mudslide in this app. What a waste of such a beautiful face!”
“Actually, I don’t feel it’s very bad. She’s asking for gifts straight out. It’s better than those white lotus flowers that look like fairies who don’t eat human food and make customized large-scale videos for local rich people behind the fans’ backs.”
“I feel the same way. Right, anyway, what broadcaster has the guts to do down to the sea while broadcasting?”
Sihwa was confused when she heard this. What white lotus flower? What did it mean to go down to the sea?”
“Is a white lotus flower a kind of flower? Is going down to the sea going into the sea to swim?” she asked, troubled.
Whenever she asked for words she didn’t understand, the barrage of bullet screens always became very dense. The people who were posting bullet screens seldom explained directly and always misled her intentionally. She was often made a joke of, and they laughed at her inexplicably.
This time was not out of the ordinary when she asked the question, and the bullet screens became very dense.
“That’s right! The anchor is very smart, already knowing how to answer her own questions!”
“A white lotus flower is an especially beautiful flower! Anchor, if you wear it on your head, you will definitely be very beautiful!”
“Going down to the sea when you reach Egypt?”
She had yet to return to her senses when she saw a bit of gold from the side of her eyes, and then the camera on her phone was covered by a claw.
Fina glared at her, exasperated at her failure to be good. “What are you randomly saying?”
“Fina, you came in just in time! I was asking the netizens just now what a white lotus flower is, and what going down to the sea means, and they always refuse to answer me properly!” Sihwa was very upset.
Fina managed not to lose her temper and said as calmly as she could, “You’re being played by them! Although it may not be malicious, they are actually secretly sneering at your ignorance.”
“What?” Sihwa’s eyes widened, and she said angrily, “This group of *ssholes! They dare to mess with me!”
Compared with Sihwa, who was always immersed in her own world, Fina spent most of her time on the first floor every day. All kinds of customers and fans streamed by under the cat crawler. They were mostly young people. They often spoke trendy Internet expressions that Fina couldn’t understand, but it could judge whether those Internet expressions were good or bad from the expressions and dialogue of other people. Or sometimes the words themselves were malicious, but they could be said in a kind tone and have a funny effect.
It had heard of a white lotus flower and had also heard of going down to the sea. It did not know the exact meaning, but it knew that these two phrases had a certain level of ill intention towards females. It had never heard anyone say a girl was a white lotus flower or tell her to go down to the sea in front of her face.
Because of that, when it passed by the washroom and heard Sihwa mention white lotus flowers and going down to the sea inside, it knew that she was probably being teased by the netizens again.
Because of the anonymity of the network, people’s use of words on the network could be more unbridled than in reality.
The netizens were just teasing Sihwa, but if anyone dared to tease Fina like that in real life, it would definitely let them know why flowers were so red!
It told Sihwa its guess about these two online phrases, and she was so angry that she exploded on the spot, but she was not very good with words. Even when cursing people, she could only use the words ‘hateful’ and ‘*sshole’ over and over again. Moreover, with her natural angelic voice and extremely beautiful appearance, it had no effect at all.
“Then what should I do? I need to retaliate!” She curled her hand into a fist.
Fina thought about it, and gave her confidential instructions.
“That will do it?”
She was half in disbelief, but when Fina glared, she did not dare to ask anymore.
Fina removed her claw from the camera.
“Anchor, you have a cat? I seem to have seen a cat claw, and heard the call of a cat.”
“Anchor, bring out your house cat to show it off!”
“Other people’s cats series! My cat does not even dare to enter the bathroom and runs when it sees water!”
Fina was outside the range of the camera and did not make noise. It used its gaze to signal to Sihwa, so Sihwa could follow what it said.
Shihua nodded slightly, took a deep breath, pointed at the screen with a scallion-like finger, and said earnestly, “Just now, the one who said white lotus flower, I hope you find a beautiful girlfriend like a white lotus water and go down to the sea everyday! No, those fat people that stay at home all day can’t find a girlfriend. What a pity! How about you go and find a boyfriend instead?”
The broadcasting room was quiet instantly.
That was the idea that Fina had given her, because every time it saw Richard persuading Zhang Zian to find a boyfriend, his expression was like wanting to cry and laugh, and it knew that this move was big and very useful. Especially in Sihwa’s live broadcasting studio, it was obvious that males were the main audience.
“F*ck! The anchor has managed to understand? And even knows how to attack back?”
“Were you acting before?”
“Us fat people who stay at home all day are crying. Who did we offend? Even if we were to be forever alone, we would not go find a boyfriend!”
Sihwa took advantage of the situation to announce, “I’m called Sihwa, not anchor! Furthermore, if anyone dares to use online phrases that are offensive towards women, I will announce his name and then hope for him to find a boyfriend that keeps trying to court him!”
As soon as she said that, several IDs with an obviously feminine feel to them sent out the most valuable gifts on the platform, bear paws and hairy crabs, and left messages one after another:
“As women as well, we’ve become fans of Sihwa!”
