Chapter 84: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 84: Overthinking Causes Hair Loss
Leaving the venue, Yan Zhixu headed toward the lounge.
Pushing open the door, she saw Lu Xun sitting on the sofa, holding his phone and watching a livestream replay.
Whatever he was watching seemed to amuse him, as he grinned widely, his mood evidently high.
But in the next second, his expression darkened, and he muttered, “Tch, that pretty boy’s wishful thinking is quite something. Lacking in talent, yet dreaming big.”
Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow, guessing who he might be cursing. Without interrupting, she sat down on a nearby seat.
Hearing the door open, Lu Xun stood up, suppressing his earlier irritation and wearing an air of pride as if seeking approval.
“Ah Xu, I’ve already booked the hotel, and I sent someone to deliver your packages earlier.”
His voice carried a trace of excitement, like a child eager to be praised for a good report card.
“Mm, good work.”
Yan Zhixu nodded, picking up an unopened bottle of water from the coffee table.
Noticing this, Lu Xun immediately put down his phone.
Ah Xu was so delicate and precious—could she even manage to open the bottle cap?
His heart ached as he said, “Ah Xu, let go of that bottle. I’ll—”
Before he could finish, the cap had already been twisted off effortlessly, as though it took no strength at all.
Yan Zhixu tilted her head back, taking a few gulps from the bottle. Even though her drinking lacked any delicate elegance, it still didn’t come across as crude.
After quenching her thirst, she replaced the cap, holding the bottle in her right hand. She glanced at him and asked, “Brother Lu, what were you about to say? Did you want some water too?”
Lu Xun swallowed hard, shaking his head furiously as his voice grew faint. “N-no, it’s fine. You drink, Ah Xu.”
He realized he must’ve been too engrossed in the livestream replay to remember—how could she need his help for such a small task? Hadn’t she just carried packages with her bare hands earlier?
Clearly, he’d let his anger at Gu Jiu and Mo An’an, those little brats, cloud his mind.
“Ah Xu!”
Suddenly, Lu Xun recalled something important.
Picking up his phone from the sofa with one hand, he pointed at its screen with the other, his face filled with rage.
“Ah Xu, that dog Gu Jiu is trying to create a scandal with you! Don’t fall for his tricks.”
“Sure, the guy’s looks aren’t bad, but there are plenty of better men out there.”
...
He nagged endlessly, rambling on and on. Yan Zhixu listened quietly, showing no signs of impatience.
After a long while, Lu Xun finally finished his tirade.
Seeing her calm expression and lack of response, he grew uneasy, rubbing his phone nervously.
Yan Zhixu stood up. “Brother Lu, do you think I’m blind?”

Lu Xun blinked, momentarily confused by the sudden change in topic. He shook his head earnestly. “No, of course not.”
Not only was Ah Xu not blind, but her vision was practically perfect.
Her tone was slow and deliberate. “Since I’m not blind, you can stop worrying about such unrealistic things.”
With that, Yan Zhixu picked up the black coat draped over the sofa, put it on, and walked toward the lounge door.
“Brother Lu, stop overthinking. Overthinking leads to hair loss.”
“Let’s head to the hotel.”
“Oh, okay...”
Standing in place, Lu Xun instinctively ran a hand through his still-thick hair, sighing in relief.
It took him a full minute to process her words and grasp their meaning.
Once he did, his face broke into a bright, pure smile. “Wait for me, Ah Xu!”
Gu Jiu, your plan to stir up a scandal is doomed to fail—Ah Xu has absolutely no interest in entertaining you.
