Chapter Thirty: I've Learned, I've Learned

“Sorry, that was a group message just now!”
With a tap of his finger, Bai Qingming sent out the message. Instantly, the chat room erupted with exclamations from the viewers.

“That move’s got some style!”
“Streamer, you’re brilliant—this is a great trick!”
“I’m totally doing this next time I get rejected.”
“Smart people are already taking action, while others are still waiting for their next chance!”
...

“Bro, those years in school were worth it! That reply—legendary!”
Brother Wang gave Bai Qingming a thumbs-up.
Though he wasn’t well-educated and didn’t quite understand why Bai had replied that way, he just had a feeling it was genius.

“It’s nothing, just basic operations,” Bai Qingming replied nonchalantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Wang’s phone buzzed. The girl had replied.
Bai Qingming picked up the phone and drew a sharp breath.
The reply read: “I figured as much, but a lot of people have confessed to me recently, and you’re the only one I turned down.”

A counterattack!

The viewers saw the message as well, and the chat exploded once more.

“No way, you can break it like that?”
“Such a cold move!”
“Streamer, in this situation, is there any way to recover? I just confessed to a girl and it’s too late to retract it. If she rejects me like this, it’ll be so awkward.”

The viewers kept sending messages.

A worthy opponent, Bai Qingming recognized at once—this girl wasn’t easy to deal with.
He clicked on her profile and studied the avatar: a bright, smiling young woman, stylishly dressed, exuding a pure and innocent vibe.

But from this round of exchange, Bai Qingming could tell she was anything but simple—very likely a high-level hunter.

He glanced through her social posts: all luxury handbags, watches, travel photos every other week. Considering Brother Wang had told him she was just a student at a nearby college with a modest family, Bai Qingming felt even more certain. She was probably the same kind of gold-digger he’d encountered the day before.

Had he not been so experienced, he might have lost face in front of over a million viewers.

But Bai Qingming was calm. He showed Brother Wang the girl’s reply.

“Brother Wang, are you sure you still want to chase her?”
“That’s just insulting, isn’t it?” Brother Wang bristled with anger after reading it. “Bro, handle it as you see fit—reply however you want.”

“Alright, but don’t blame me for any consequences,” Bai Qingming warned.

“Go ahead!”

With Brother Wang’s assurance, Bai Qingming picked up the phone and resumed his lesson.

“Folks, don’t panic when you’re countered like this. Here’s how you reply.”

He dug out the photo Brother Wang had sent him before—a picture of a Bugatti Veyron parked by the roadside—and forwarded it to the girl.

Then he put his phone down.

The viewers were stunned. They’d all gotten out their notebooks, ready to learn, and… that was it?
What good could a photo do?

“Bro, what’s this for?” Brother Wang scratched his head, baffled.

Before Bai Qingming could answer, the girl replied.

“Is this your car?”

Bai Qingming smiled and typed back, “What else?”

Instantly, the girl responded.

“Haha, I was just joking earlier—wanted to see if you were really sincere about being with me. Now I see you are. By the way, you’re not mad at me, are you?”

Masters at play—always unpredictable.
Her speed and ability to salvage the situation impressed even Bai Qingming.

He showed the viewers her reply.

In a flash, they understood.

“Of course not,” Bai Qingming replied.

Again, an instant reply from the girl.

“Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t be mad. I accept your confession—let’s celebrate! Come pick me up tonight, there’s a French restaurant I’ve been wanting to try for ages. After dinner, let’s catch a movie. Oh, and my parents aren’t home.”

At this moment, her attitude had completely changed, even hinting at more.

Bai Qingming’s suspicions were confirmed: she was definitely a gold-digger.

Meanwhile, the viewers were dumbfounded.

“What, that’s all it takes?”
“I’ve learned the technique—now where do I get a luxury car?”
“Streamer, I followed your steps exactly, but used a photo of my family’s private jet instead of a car. Isn’t that even more impressive? But she called me a show-off and blocked me. Why?”
“You deserved it—there’s a limit to showing off. Why not send her a photo of an aircraft carrier while you’re at it?”
“I wasn’t showing off, we really have a private jet.”
“My family owns a spaceship, you believe that?”
“Your ambition is too small—honestly, my family owns the entire banking industry.”
...

The chat was buzzing with activity.

While everyone thought Brother Wang and the girl were about to get together, with Bai Qingming’s help, and all that was left was to seal the deal, Bai Qingming picked up his phone and made a move no one saw coming.

Bai Qingming: “When did I say you could be my girlfriend?”

“???” Girl: “Honey, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the one who confessed to me?”

At this, Bai Qingming laughed.
She’d even changed how she addressed him—clearly panicking, not wanting to lose her catch.

Time to show no mercy.

Bai Qingming: “Didn’t you reject me? And you said you’d already accepted someone else’s confession.”

Girl: “Honey, I was just kidding. No one else confessed, only you. I accept you.”

Bai Qingming: “But my confession was a group message. Before you turned me down, the others had already accepted.”

With that, he instantly turned the tables.

The girl was at a loss and stopped replying.

The viewers all felt they’d learned a valuable lesson.

By all rights, this duel between experts should have ended there, but just then, another message came in from the girl.

“No problem, right? What’s one more? By the way, I do yoga.”

At that moment, everyone in the chatroom stood up in amazement.

“What, that works too?”
“What does doing yoga mean—does it mean she’s flexible in every way?”
“Streamer, you have my utmost respect!”
“See? The goddesses in real life act like this in front of rich guys.”

Watching her flip-flopping attitude, Brother Wang suddenly felt she wasn’t worthy of him.

Bai Qingming couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries and simply typed three words.

“And you’re worthy?”

The girl sent a pitiful emoji: “Then what did you show me your car for?”

Faced with this, Bai Qingming let out a cold chuckle and quickly replied.

“When did I say it was my car? That’s my phone wallpaper. I just wanted you to see if it looked good or not, idiot!”

He sent it, then immediately blocked and deleted her.

He didn’t give her a chance to say another word.

In the livestream chat:

“666666.”
