I wondered how to exin the situation to Matthew and Benjamin.


    As I was thinking about this, Matthew suddenly said, "But you and Felicia sure are lucky these days-winning the lottery and getting huge tips from live streams. It''s like money just keeps rolling in."


    "Yeah, exactly! You two have probably made close to two million by now, right? That''s no small sum. Some people don''t earn that much in their entire lives."


    Seizing the opportunity, I replied, "That''s true. Felicia and I have indeed made a good amount. It''s nothing to be ashamed of if she bowed her head for money just this once. Besides, she promised me it would be herst time livestreaming."


    Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.


    Benjamin even blurted out, "Man, I wish I were ady. Just one live stream, and I would make that much. Why bother with college or finding a job? A few years of this, and I would be set for life."


    Liam rolled his eyes at him. "Dream on! Do you think everydy can make that much from livestreaming? Even someone as stunning as Lina doesn''t get many tips. A donor like Mr. Top Dog is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Got it?"


    I nodded in agreement.


    "Liam''s right. Betting on instant sess is like trying to catch water with a sieve. It''s better to stay grounded. As the saying goes, if something is meant for you, it won''t pass you by. If you''re truly destined for wealth, even working a regr job can lead to riches."


    That seemed to douse Benjamin''s dreams of easy money. I genuinely didn''t want to see him go astray. Even for someone wealthy, such thoughts were risky.


    I had heard of countless rich people losing everything by chasing high returns through investments, stocks, or even illegal activities over the years. How much worse would it be for someone without a safety?


    My family had been well-off for generations. My father, in particr, took the family business to new heights. Yet, despite this, he had always avoided high-risk ventures, sticking to tangible industries and steady growth.


    "It''s better to work harder than gamble it all away." My father drilled this mindset into me, and I always kept it in mind.


    The next morning, Felica was immediately surrounded as soon as she entered the ssroom.


    I thought they were curious about her live stream from the night before, but they only cared about one question.


    "Who''s Anonymous?"


    "Come on! There''s no way he tipped you that much without contacting you! Do you think Mr. Top Dog is dumb? He must have messaged you privately!"


    "What''s he like? Is he an older guy? He''s probably a big-bellied boss, right?"


    "I checked his following list. He follows several female livestreamers, but he''s only tipped you this much. Felicia, spill it. How did you meet him?"


    When Felicia heard that I followed many female livestreamers, she immediately turned around and red at me.


    Feeling guilty, I coughed awkwardly and quickly sent her a message. "Just because I follow their ount, it doesn''t mean I watch them. You can ask Benjamin and the others if you don''t believe me."


    She replied almost instantly, "I trust you."


    I couldn''t help but smile, feelingpletely at ease.


    Our rtionship mightck the electrifying passion of some couples, but the quiet,


    steady reassurance we gave each other was its own kind of happiness.


    After ss nned to invite Felicia and my three roommates for lunch. I thought that it would be a good change for her to treat them and dispel any lingering doubts they had about her and Mr. Top Dog.


    But before I could reach her, my phone rang. It was my mother.


    "Will, there''s an unwee guest at my store. Neither the store manager nor the store assistant can handle it. Can youe over and check it out for me?"
