Chapter 20: Have you ever been with three people at once?
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, becoming somewhat subtle.
"This is awkward. I can't believe he saw right through us. How are we supposed to continue now?"
"It's fine, we just need to keep our cool. As long as we flatly deny it, there's nothing Su Chen can do to us!"
"Uh... the way you put it, even if we did admit it, it seems like there's nothing he could do to us anyway!"
"Hey, that's true. Could he really bully two girls? He wouldn't be that tasteless, right? Hmph!"
...
Su Chengyue and Orange exchanged a brief glance, eventually reaching a silent consensus.
"You're right. Since you've already figured it out, we won't hide it anymore."
"I just can't accept it. Why are you still so indifferent when we girls have been so proactive? Honestly, our looks aren't bad, are you really that resistant to us?"
"Besides, we aren't asking you to take responsibility. You get pleasure, we get pleasure—it's a win-win, isn't that good? I’m not asking you to sacrifice anything!"
Seriously, why are you being so difficult, man? We girls have been so forward, and a grown man like you is still acting so awkward—it's unbearable to watch!
Watching the two girls confidently questioning him, Su Chen couldn't help but scratch his head in resignation.
"I’m just worried you’ll regret it later. I’m thinking of you..."
Faced with Su Chen’s half-hearted excuse, Orange chuckled and said, "Is that for you to worry about? Don't overthink it! What you should really be thinking about is how to satisfy both of us at the same time—that’s what really matters..."
Su Chengyue also gave a faint smile and hummed, "Actually, it’s not like I like you that much. I just wanted to know if a 'forced melon' is truly sweet, and I wanted to give it a try! Seeing as we two girls are so sincere and persistent, can't you just let us have our way and get a taste?"
Su Chen hesitated upon hearing this.
He didn't have any particular psychological hangups. He had played many games typical of adults; it was supposed to be a casual, consensual affair, so why take it so seriously?
Thus, faced with the combined temptation of Orange and Su Chengyue, Su Chen found himself struggling and wavering.
Before he could make up his mind, Orange suddenly reached out and took his arm, a soft, delicate voice whispering in his ear: "Have you ever tried it with three people?"
"No," Su Chen felt his heart skip a beat, but he still shook his head honestly.
"Neither have we... Why don't we try? You know the saying: opportunity knocks but once!" Orange, full of tenderness, guided him step by step, whispering softly.
Seeing this, Su Chengyue stepped forward and took his other arm, adding with a gentle smile, "Exactly. We’re young, we should seize the day. If there’s an opportunity, you have to grab it."
Truth be told, it’s hard for any average man to refuse when two beauties are tempting him simultaneously. Especially when the two are attractive, full of charm, and skilled at flirting—even Ultraman wouldn't be able to resist.
But Su Chen... well, aside from the system, he was just an average man.
***
Previously in the elevator, when the two were whispering about him right to his face, Su Chen had already wanted to prove himself. Look, hadn't the opportunity arrived now?
So what if there were two of them? With his young, vigorous physique and superb skills, was he really afraid he couldn't handle them both? Ridiculous!
However, there are always surprises in life. What Su Chen hadn't expected was that Su Chengyue and Orange were no simple characters either.
Though, thinking about it, girls who could be this open wouldn't be simple! And for these kinds of things, anyone who has played knows that sometimes one plus one does not equal two!
It took Su Chen a monumental effort to finally win a narrow victory and preserve his dignity as a man...
***
A sleepless night passed, and by the third day, the heat surrounding the Zhu Fei incident had risen once again.
Even the state media had been alerted, looking to find Zhu Fei to obtain first-hand information for a report. This situation was within Su Chen’s expectations, and he had communicated this to Zhu Fei in advance, so she wasn't caught off guard.
Reporter: "Regarding that unscrupulous streamer who made unreasonable demands of you, do you have anything to say?"
Zhu Fei: "Perhaps he had his own difficulties. After all, fifty thousand is not a small sum to just hand over. I don't blame him."
Reporter: "If something similar happens again, will you still choose to trust and do it?"
Zhu Fei: "Even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, for my daughter, I would still try."
...
From these simple words alone, one could see the deep, never-ending love of a mother for her daughter.
After watching the report and understanding the ins and outs of the story, many viewers felt deep sympathy and admiration for Zhu Fei. Especially with the intervention of state media, the authenticity of the matter was confirmed, and people no longer hesitated to open their wallets and donate.
At the same time, the disgust for [The Number One Affectionate Su Chen], who had gone back on his word and kicked someone while they were down, reached new heights.
The most direct manifestation was the "Anger Points" Su Chen was collecting, which soared to a new peak, breaking through one million. What kind of concept was that!
Looking at the seven-digit anger total, Su Chen felt he was now terrifyingly powerful, with no rivals left.
After the state media entered the fray, various streamers and influencers, wanting to ride the wave of traffic, also followed suit, inciting their fans to criticize and boycott Su Chen.
In his spare time, Su Chen specifically went to check, and the vast majority of streamers expressed sympathy for Zhu Fei while condemning Su Chen’s vile behavior.
Though they were just chasing clout, their moral stance was generally decent, and many even donated money to Zhu Fei.
But there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and inevitably, there were a few streamers with no bottom line. They simply used the public's malice toward Su Chen to grab attention, deliberately stoking negative emotions and making personal threats against him.
In particular, an outdoor streamer named "Old San Zhang" even deliberately displayed his train ticket to Hangzhou during a broadcast, wanting to have a "real-life confrontation" with [The Number One Affectionate Su Chen].
Such a way of fishing for traffic was too direct and a bit low-class; Su Chen didn't like it.
He decisively switched to a burner account and entered the stream to use sarcasm to vent his dissatisfaction.
[Since you have the spare money to buy a train ticket, you might as well donate it to that poor mother; that would be more practical. Why bother with these empty gestures?]
As soon as the bullet comment was sent, Su Chen received 444 Anger Points from Old San Zhang—it was an instant credit.
Clearly, the sharp comment had hit a sore spot, and the guy had been triggered.
Perhaps Su Chen’s comment also reminded the audience in the stream, who suddenly realized what was happening and began asking about his donations.
Seeing this, Old San Zhang couldn't just pretend he didn't see it, so he immediately said with an impatient look: "How do you know I didn't donate to her? Mind your own business!"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Su Chen didn't hesitate to use moral pressure!
Su Chen: [I saw that mother say she would make every donation she received public. Given how indignant you are, streamer, you must have donated quite a bit, right?]
Old San Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "What I donate has nothing to do with you! Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you sick?"
Old San Zhang was getting angry at the persistence!
Su Chen: [It doesn't have to have anything to do with me. I just saw you sympathizing so much with that poor mother, speaking out for justice, and even ready to draw your sword to help. I thought for sure you would help her through this difficult time. As a big streamer like you, your annual income must be quite high, right?]
Su Chen’s words seemed to say nothing, yet they seemed to imply everything. The ambiguity brought the fans to their senses!
The fans, who had been whipped into a frenzy and lost their rationality, began to calm down.
No one is stupid. From this simple dialogue, anyone could see what was going on. While that [Number One Affectionate Su Chen] was a complete jerk, it was clear that this Old San Zhang wasn't a good person either—he had ulterior motives.
His behavior wasn't about seeking justice or sympathizing with the poor mother; he was just doing it for himself, leeching off the traffic and the hype!
Watching the frantic, triggered shouting from Old San Zhang in the stream, Su Chen smiled dismissively, hiding his achievements.
With that level of skill, he wanted a real-life confrontation? He couldn't even manage his clout-chasing properly. With that IQ, he should just go home, wash up, and go to sleep instead of coming out here to embarrass himself!
As he was silently complaining to himself, there was a sudden, urgent knock at the door.
Su Chen was stunned. Who could be knocking so urgently? He wondered, *Could it be Orange and Su Chengyue back for another round to farm more experience?*
*Looks like they’ve developed a taste for it. You underestimated me before and whispered behind my back—from now on, you can call me the Unstoppable Little Prince.*
Thinking this, he opened the door, but when he saw who was standing there, Su Chen froze.
Standing gracefully at the door wasn't the "deep-rooted" duo, but Zhou Yujie, looking travel-worn and visibly exhausted.
