Daily Life Of A Socially Anxious Scumbag Alpha Raising Flowers - Chapter 14

KK had never felt so hungry before.

Her body was screaming madly that she needed to eat.

She had eaten breakfast before going out that morning, and since she was outside now, it was not convenient, so she could only grab a tube of nutrient fluid for emergencies.

Although she had already thought nutrient fluid tasted bad before, this time, with something to compare it to, she understood even more deeply that a monotonous liquid could never compare to the complex, layered texture and flavor of real food.

Nutrient fluid could quickly replenish the energy and nutrients the human body needed.

But what was strange this time was that after drinking the nutrient fluid, KK still felt very, very hungry. And so she understood. The thing screaming hunger was not her body, but a craving in her mind.

Especially since the memory of eating just now still remained in her brain, that craving became even stronger.

KK suddenly regretted asking that blogger to open the holographic space and sensory-sync permissions.

If she had never experienced that delicious food, she would not have such a strong desire to eat right now.

[Honestly, I want to find this blogger in real life.]

She said in the food lovers’ group chat: [No matter how much it costs, I want her to make me a bowl of wonton noodles.]

[Are you crazy? This blogger is an Omega! Aren’t you afraid that if you go looking for her, her partner will beat you up?]

Some group members with decent hands-on ability had already begun preparing to try making it themselves.

[Didn’t the blogger teach the steps? It looks pretty simple. I think it can definitely be replicated successfully.]

[Speaking of which, this Omega really is pretty generous. She could totally rely on recipes to get rich, but she foolishly exposed them online for everyone to see. Anyone can learn them.]

[Can everyone really learn them? What if she has exactly that kind of confidence—confidence that no one can replicate her cooking skills?]

Perhaps because the surprise brought by entering the holographic space and experiencing the taste of the food through sensory sync this time was too great, this was the first time KK had ever been so afraid of a blogger stopping updates. She herself was a second-generation rich kid from a wealthy family who only needed to eat, drink, and have fun, so she was not short of money either. After thinking about it, she directly tipped the account one hundred thousand yuan under this video.

After seeing that Wen Xin’s second video only had a few thousand likes, she even disliked that the number was too low and directly spent money to buy traffic promotion for it.

Just like that, without Wen Xin knowing anything at all, the video was promoted in front of even more people.

The new video’s data was even better than the previous one. The views and likes had both risen a lot. And what gratified Wen Xin the most was that in the comment section of this video, there were finally many more discussions about the food itself.

Just as Wen Xin was happily looking at the increasingly better data and starting to feel that making self-media a job seemed feasible, and that maybe she could even make money from it, she suddenly noticed that the backend indicated she had unread messages.

When she tapped in and took a look, she discovered that the balance of her account, which had originally been 0, had now become over sixty thousand!!!

The income details showed that her original income should have been one hundred thousand, but the platform had taken a portion, and taxes had been paid on her behalf according to national law, so what ended up in her hands was over sixty thousand.

“Ah?”

Wen Xin was suddenly knocked dizzy by this giant sum that had fallen from the sky.

One second ago, she had still felt that turning her account into money might take some time to achieve, so she had only dared to daydream a little. Yet in the very next second, that beautiful dream had come true?

From Wen Xin’s backend, she could see the account information of the person who had tipped her. It came from the ID [KK].

After confirming that all of this was not a dream, Wen Xin quickly sent a private message to this netizen called KK.

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [Hello, netizen. Are you an adult?]

Although Wen Xin’s eyes lit up at the sight of money, she really did not want to accept a tip from an underage child who did not know better against her conscience. And out of caution, she had to confirm this in advance.

KK: [?]

KK: [Of course I’m an adult!]

KK expressed confusion. She completely did not understand why the other party would ask this question.

Thinking of the few racing-related videos she had posted on her own account—

Could those videos have made her look like a child?

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [Sorry, I just wanted to confirm that the fan who tipped me is a person with full capacity for civil conduct. By the way, your mental state is normal, right?]

Although asking like this was not very good, Wen Xin stated that she was a good citizen who obeyed the law.

KK: […]

KK: [I’m a mentally normal adult, and the source of my money is also legal, so you don’t need to worry about any problems with my tip. I just really like your videos. The tip I gave you is only because I hope you’ll continue creating works that are just as good in the future.]

…

There was no problem with the tip.

That meant this was her legal income. She could withdraw it completely and did not need to worry about the risk of it being taken back.

Wen Xin stayed calm for a few seconds, failed to stay calm, then quickly turned off her phone and went to find Dong Xun, who was organizing odds and ends in the living room. She took Dong Xun’s hand and spun around with her excitedly.

“Dong Xun, Dong Xun! Our account earned its first pot of gold!”

Dong Xun’s expression was still dazed, but she immediately understood the reason Wen Xin was happy.

“If I keep working hard and managing this account well, I might really be able to work from home and not go outside to work!!”

After Wen Xin saw the newly arrived money, the first thought that appeared in her mind was that she would not have to be an introvert forced to brave the workplace.

“I feel like I’m dreaming. Hurry and pinch me to see if it’s real…”

Wen Xin’s cheeks were a little red from excitement.

Dong Xun looked at her, hesitated, then lightly pinched her cheek.

It was warm.

A soft touch.

So it was not a dream.

“What was that?” Wen Xin expressed dissatisfaction toward Dong Xun’s perfunctory behavior. “You only touched my face. I couldn’t feel any pain at all!”

…

After the excitement passed, reason returned.

Wen Xin properly steadied her state of mind again.

Of course she was happy, but she would not let this unexpected fortune go to her head.

At the end of the day, the reason a viewer was willing to tip her video was because her work had sincerely won that viewer’s favor.

This itself also reminded Wen Xin what the thing she truly relied on to stand firm was. The more it was a time like this, the less she could get carried away. Instead, she had to treat the food even more seriously, make the videos even more seriously, and present an even better result.

Of course, Wen Xin would not put the cart before the horse either, throwing herself completely into self-media just because there was profit to be made and ignoring her original intention and Dong Xun.

Registering the account and filming videos was only meant as a record, and as an alternative possibility for work.

Life was the main focus.

Food and work were only a small part of life.

In the long stretch of a day, aside from the pleasant time spent eating, there was still a lot of free time.

How to let Dong Xun spend those hours more happily as well—this was a serious question.

Wen Xin opened her notebook to the page marked with today’s date. On it, there was clearly a plan listed.

Today’s Plan:

Daily praise for Dong Xun (1/1)

Feed Dong Xun (1/3)

Watch a movie together with Dong Xun (to be completed)

Dong Xun’s usual daily life at home consisted of being busy, constantly busy. Even when Wen Xin deliberately shared part of the housework for her, she could still make herself spin like a top around the small room, busily turning here and there without stopping.

Other than that, up to now, the only hobby Wen Xin had observed in Dong Xun was reading.

If Wen Xin did not take the initiative to talk to her, then unless it was necessary, Dong Xun really could go an entire day without saying a single word.

Wen Xin did not know what kind of mindset Dong Xun used to pass all that time, but she always felt that if a person kept everything bottled up in their heart for too long like this, it would definitely feel terrible.

Although Wen Xin herself was not a very proactive person, there was nothing she could do. Who told her she had encountered the even less proactive Dong Xun? Especially with Dr. Zhong Siyu’s instructions as well, she could only thicken her skin and take the initiative, clinging to Dong Xun and forcefully finding topics to chat with her about.

When she first started doing these things, Wen Xin really would secretly curl her toes against the floor from embarrassment.

Later, as the relationship between the two of them slowly became closer, the hidden chatterbox syndrome on Wen Xin’s body, which only triggered around familiar people, gradually awakened as well.

At this point, there was no need to worry about not finding topics to talk about. Every day, she had endless things to say. She did not even need Dong Xun to respond—Wen Xin alone could chatter on and on.

“I want to watch a movie for a while. Will you watch it with me? You know, I just lost my job, and I suddenly lost my memory too. I’m really sad right now.”

Wen Xin tugged at Dong Xun’s sleeve with a pitiful expression. “The house is already very clean. You really don’t need to clean it anymore.”

“Dong Xun, please.”

Wen Xin was very good at taking advantage of an opening. When she was little, she had been very mischievous. Every time her parents put on serious expressions and wanted to teach her a lesson, she relied on this trick of acting spoiled to make them break in seconds.

Of course, she only used this trick on people who were susceptible to it.

For example, after secretly discovering that Dong Xun was susceptible to this move.

Naturally, Wen Xin did not mind using this tiny little “scheme.”
