What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

Lu Beiyu didn't believe in bad luck.

As a young man with a strong competitive spirit, he could accept losing in ordinary matters. However, he was a professional e-sports player. Even if he wasn't playing his most proficient game, he shouldn't lose, right?

"One more round!" He grabbed Yan Xi who was about to leave.

Yan Xi said helplessly, "Alright, I'll play one more round with you."

In the second game, Lu Beiyu was fully concentrated from the Ban/Pick (BP) phase, showing the same level of focus as when he was in a real competition. This time, when he ran into Yan Xi on the map, he didn't hold back at all and went straight for a fight!

Ten minutes later, the game ended.

Lu Beiyu stared blankly at the word "Defeat" on his phone screen and was in a daze for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

He got the Second Valuable Player (SVP) of this game and harvested more than half of the kills in this match. He thought he had played quite well!

Lu Beiyu looked at Yan Xi and asked, "You... are you playing this game for the first time?" "Yes!" Yan Xi sipped the already cold boiled water leisurely. "But these games are all quite similar. Qingyu sometimes plays games. Whenever she can't win a game, she throws it to me. After playing so many games, I've got the hang of it."

"So, it's not embarrassing for you to lose to me in the game."

[Hahahahahahaha]

[I'm dying of laughter. Island never thought that one day someone would tell him, "It's not embarrassing for you to lose to me in the game"!]

[Island was even named the strongest rookie in the league this year. (Is it time to step down?)]

[Island is already doubting his life!]

[To be fair, Island always picks up new games quickly during his live - streams. He also got the SVP in the last game, but Yan Xi played better.]

Yan Xi patted Lu Beiyu on the shoulder and said, "I've already told you that you used some skills at the wrong time. Your skills are better than mine. If you play a few more rounds, you'll definitely surpass me."

Lu Beiyu felt extremely frustrated. He knew Yan Xi was right. They professional players would also calculate the data of various skills during competitions so as to attack the opponents more effectively.

But how many heroes are there in a game? Lu Beiyu only remembered all the skills of the heroes he used in League of Legends (LOL). He couldn't remember the skills in other games. Now, in just the short time of the BP phase in this new game, how could Yan Xi remember everything clearly? "You have a really good memory," Lu Beiyu said gloomily.

The clock slowly struck eight, and the live - stream started.

While Yan Xi and Lu Beiyu were playing games, except for Zhou Qingyu and Lin Ranran, all the other guests had already come to the living room.

Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling were making breakfast salads, and Chu Mo ordered takeout. The ones who hadn't come were Zhou Qingyu, who was still sleeping in, and Lin Ranran, who was nowhere to be found.

Chu Mo scanned the living room. He had knocked on Lin Ranran's door before coming downstairs, but there was no response. He originally thought Lin Ranran had gotten up early.

Ye Luoyi recalled what had happened last night and said, "It seems that Ranran has gone back to Han City." "Back to Han City?" All the guests were shocked.

"Aren't we supposed to record a variety show?" Su Lingling asked. "Why did she go back to Han City? Is she not going to participate in the recording anymore?"

Everyone was confused. Just then, Lin Ranran staggered back to the villa.

The earliest flight back to Han City was at 5:30 a.m. During the waiting time, Lin Ranran bought new clothes and shoes and changed into them. Unfortunately, the soles of her feet still hurt, and she limped a little when she walked.

When Ye Luoyi saw Lin Ranran come back, she quickly stepped forward to support her and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ye Luoyi recently planned to keep a low - key profile, avoid conflicts with Zhou Qingyu, and try her best to show her gentle and kind side on the show to regain her popularity among the general public. Lin Ranran's face was deathly pale. She replied weakly, "It's nothing."

Su Lingling crossed her arms and said, "Lin Ranran, I thought you had gone back to Han City. I thought you weren't going to participate in the recording anymore. Why did you come back?"

Lin Ranran trembled all over. She still remembered what had happened last night. Zhou Yanci had told her to continue participating in the variety show and apologize to Yan Xi after it was over. Her father had also told her to pretend that nothing had happened.

Lin Ranran: "What are you talking nonsense about! I just... fell while jogging in the morning!" Su Lingling said discontentedly, "It wasn't me who said it. It was Ye Luoyi who said it!" Lin Ranran pushed Ye Luoyi away and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not quitting the variety show!"

Ye Luoyi:???

What on earth had she done wrong? She was just telling the truth!

Ye Luoyi didn't want to bother with Lin Ranran anymore. Lin Ranran dragged her exhausted body back to the room to treat her wound.

At exactly nine o'clock, all the guests gathered in the living room.

Even Zhou Qingyu had gotten up. She was still in her pajamas and looked half - awake.

[Even when the young lady is half - awake, she's so beautiful!]

[Woohoo, this natural face. I'm so envious!]

[If I could look as good as Zhou Qingyu, I'd laugh in my sleep!] Zhou Qingyu sat sleepily beside Yan Xi. At this moment, Director Yu also came to the living room. Today was not a free - activity day. The program crew was going to announce a task. "Yu Jizhong, just tell us what the task is quickly. I'm still sleepy," Zhou Qingyu yawned. She always had her beauty sleep in the morning. Not getting enough sleep would make her look ugly. "Just five minutes～five minutes～"

Director Yu looked at the guests. "I was actually inspired by classmate Lu Beiyu. Usually, traveling costs money, but there's also a way to travel while working. So today's task is to make money! The requirement isn't high. You just need to see how much money you can make within three hours!"

"One additional rule: no live - streaming!"

Lu Beiyu howled, "Director Yu, you're targeting me!"

Director Yu spread his hands. "There's nothing I can do. If all of you start live - streaming, the amount of rewards might be quite high, which goes against our original intention. We want to show the audience how different types of people make money. If it's just live - streaming, it won't make any sense."

Lu Beiyu understood what Director Yu meant. He clenched his fists. "Fine. If I can't live - stream my games, I can do other things! I can set up a stall on the street and draw pictures for people!"

The other guests also discussed it. After all, they were working in groups and had to choose a job suitable for both of them.

Ye Luoyi: "Lingling and I plan to sing on the street and see how much we can get in tips."

The guests took turns speaking in a clockwise order. When it was Chu Mo and Lin Ranran's turn, Lin Ranran was still in a state of shock because of what had happened last night. Chu Mo called her twice, but she didn't react.

"I... I'm okay with anything..." Lin Ranran said in a low voice.

Chu Mo had no choice but to look at the other guests. "I'm good at photography. Our group can take pictures of tourists to make money."

Finally, it was Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu's turn.

Zhou Qingyu really hadn't thought about making money before. After all, even if she just put her money in the bank on a current - account basis with compound interest, the amount would be astonishing. Yan Xi rolled her eyes. "I actually have an idea!" She blinked mysteriously. "But I won't reveal it now. You'll know later!" [Report to Director Yu! Yan Xi is being mysterious!]

[Damn it. I was originally interested in seeing what Lu Beiyu's paintings would look like, but now that Yan Xi has said that, I'm even more interested in her idea!] [Yan Xi is deliberately keeping us in suspense!]

Yan Xi didn't mean to keep the audience in suspense. She just had an idea, and she wasn't sure if it would work. So it wasn't good to say it in advance. Director Yu clapped his hands. "The preparation time doesn't count. You can start whenever you want, as long as you work for three hours! The deadline is eight o'clock tonight! The guests who make the least money will have to accept a punishment!"

[There's actually a punishment!]

[The young lady is not good at physical work and doesn't know much about the world. I think she might come in last!]

[Yeah, singing, taking pictures, and drawing, I think all these can work. It's not hard to make a little money. But I can't imagine what the young lady can do!] [All I can think of is the young lady spending money!]

After Director Yu's announcement, the guests scattered to make preparations.

Zhou Qingyu was also curious about what Yan Xi was planning to do, but Yan Xi told Zhou Qingyu to go back to sleep.

"Can you make the preparations by yourself?" Zhou Qingyu asked.

"No problem," Yan Xi glanced at the time. "You can sleep for another hour and then get up to do your makeup. It should be about right."

Zhou Qingyu was very obedient. When Yan Xi told her to go to sleep, she went back to bed. After Chu Mo returned to his room, he rummaged through his things and found his SLR camera.

As a rich second - generation, he always had some money - burning hobbies, and photography was one of them. He was quite good at it. He had taken pictures of many girls before and could probably make money from it.

He was wiping the lens and at the same time posting a message on a travel website to see if anyone needed to hire a travel photographer.

His phone rang. It was a message from his mother, asking him to call back away from the live - stream. Without hesitation, Chu Mo took his phone to the balcony where there was no camera. His mother got straight to the point. "Something has happened to the Lin family."

With the market value evaporating by half, the Lin family couldn't hide it. Early in the morning, the high - society circles in Hai City were all talking about it. The Lin Corporation had been operating well recently and there had been no scandals. How could the stock price fall so much?

Chu's mother said, "Arranging your marriage with Lin Ranran was just because we thought our two families were of similar strength and cooperation could bring mutual benefits. Now it seems that the Lin family has probably offended some big shot. If we still go ahead with the marriage, aren't we pushing our own family into the fire pit?" "Call off your engagement, but don't show it on the variety show. It won't look good."

Hearing this, Chu Mo couldn't hide his joy.

He never liked Lin Ranran in the first place. This girl was delicate and sensitive, and also very affected. For them rich second - generations, having a few women outside was nothing. His father was like that too. But Lin Ranran kept making a fuss about it every now and then. He was so annoyed by her.

Now that he could call off the engagement, Chu Mo was more than happy.

Chu Mo said, "Mom, so does that mean I can go after other women?" Chu's mother replied, "You can't go for someone from a different social class, but if you just want to have some fun, I'm too lazy to care. Just don't get the girl pregnant." "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing!"

After hanging up the phone, within just two minutes of his happiness, there was a noise from the next - door room. Chu Mo went to Lin Ranran's room and saw that she had accidentally broken the vase in the room.

She was sitting on the floor in her slippers, and a thin layer of blood was seeping from the sole of her foot.

Lin Ranran looked at him pitifully. "Brother Chu Mo, wait for me... I'll be ready soon!"

"Maybe you should take a day off," Chu Mo said.

He didn't like Lin Ranran, but he wasn't the type to torture women. Seeing her foot like that, he knew she couldn't go on a hike today.

"Anyway, it's me taking pictures. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

Lin Ranran was a bit hesitant. But her father only told her to continue filming the variety show and didn't force her to perform well.

She was really exhausted. After traveling back and forth between Han City and Hai City last night, she had been on edge and hadn't slept at all. Her eyes were bloodshot. By the time Zhou Qingyu got up and finished her makeup, it was almost eleven o'clock.

In the stretched Lincoln, Zhou Qingyu had the breakfast prepared by Piao Baoyuan. She couldn't get used to the Korean pickles, so she had a beef tenderloin salad, which could also help her keep in shape. The stretched Lincoln finally stopped in front of a Michelin three - star restaurant. [A restaurant? Are Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu going to be waitresses?]

[No way! I don't think a young lady like her can do such a thing!] [Being a waitress is so boring. It's better to watch Ye Luoyi sing!] [Why not let the young lady be an online store model! It makes money faster!] Yan Xi was already at the restaurant entrance. Piao Baoyuan got out of the car first and opened the door for Zhou Qingyu.

The moment she saw the restaurant, Zhou Qingyu had the same thought as the viewers. "Yan Xi, you're not going to make me be a waitress, are you? I won't do it!"

As a young lady, she had never been a waitress. In her life, she had only been served by others. It was impossible for her to be subservient to others.

"Of course not!" Yan Xi smiled. "It's definitely a job that can bring out your strengths."

The restaurant manager came out and warmly shook hands with the two of them.

He was from Country H, but in a restaurant like this, he naturally spoke multiple languages. He greeted the two girls in somewhat broken Chinese, "Miss Yan, Miss Zhou, hello. Our boss watched the video of Miss Zhou's cello performance and was very satisfied. She agreed to invite Miss Zhou to perform. It's during the lunchtime, and the pay is 80,000 won per hour. What do you think?"

[80,000 won? That's more than 400 RMB!]

[So amazing! Over there, Ye Luoyi and the others are singing, and the tips they get are only a few thousand won. Here, it's directly 80,000!]

[Wait, does the young lady know how to play the cello?]

[The restaurant probably values the young lady's fame. She's both a celebrity and a wealthy heiress. The restaurant is just showing her respect!]

The manager led Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi to the performance area. On the way, Zhou Qingyu whispered to Yan Xi, "How did you come up with the idea of making money this way?" Yan Xi blinked her eyes and said, "You've been practicing the cello for the role of Lihua. Well, you can just practice in the restaurant and make money at the same time!" In the past, Zhou's father always hired well - known musicians to teach Zhou Qingyu, so Zhou Qingyu's cello skills were very high. Yan Xi thought that Zhou Qingyu was even capable of performing on a big stage, not just in a restaurant.

It was just that she had slacked off for a while, so it would be difficult for her to perform on a big stage, but there was no problem performing in a restaurant. The owner of this restaurant was a senior music fan who liked to attend various concerts. Even her restaurant was located near a music theater. Therefore, after receiving the video of Zhou Qingyu's performance sent by Yan Xi, she immediately decided to hire Zhou Qingyu. For them, Zhou Qingyu was not only a cellist, but they were also recording a program, which could promote her restaurant. It was a win - win situation.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qingyu's performance began on the small stage of the restaurant. Maybe many people didn't know that Zhou Qingyu had this skill. When they heard that she was going to perform the cello, they flocked to the live - stream room to watch. [The requirements for cellists hired by this kind of restaurant can't be very high, right!] [Yeah, I guess she's just an amateur, playing it as a hobby.] [Anyway, it's all for the show's effect. We'll just listen for fun.] Although they said so, when Zhou Qingyu started performing, the bullet comments were stunned. [I don't understand the cello, but it sounds so good!]

[The young lady looks so cool when playing the cello! She's glowing!] [Speaking as a professional, the young lady's performance is excellent! In her performance of "Saint - Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor", there's nothing to fault in terms of both technical skills and musical expression!]

[Is the young lady actually this awesome?]

Not only the bullet comments, but also the customers in the restaurant were immersed in the music. Huosang Restaurant was close to the Han City Music Theater. There was a symphony orchestra performance in the afternoon, and many customers who had bought concert tickets came to Huosang Restaurant for lunch and would go to the concert later.

Huosang Restaurant used to invite some musicians to perform, but they were generally amateurs. Professional musicians were too expensive. But today, while enjoying their lunch, the customers were listening to a cello piece that was in no way inferior to the performances at concerts!

Many customers who had already finished their meals still wanted to stay. Occasionally, some customers gave tips to Zhou Qingyu, but afraid of disturbing her performance, they gave the tips to Yan Xi.

The restaurant, which originally had only a few scattered tables of customers, was finally full. Three hours later, Zhou Qingyu's performance ended.

She used to train for this long at home. The cello was her hobby, so even if she practiced for a long time, she wouldn't get tired.

When they knew the music was over, many customers were still reluctant to leave. Coincidentally, the concert next door would start in an hour, so the customers left one after another. The manager was beaming as he settled the payment with Zhou Qingyu. For three hours, it should have been 240,000 won, but the manager rounded it up. "Miss Zhou, you performed very well. Here is 300,000 won. The extra is your bonus."

"Thank you!" Zhou Qingyu took the money.

She was too lazy to count it and gave it all to Yan Xi.

They also got some tips from the customers. In short, they made quite a lot of money from this part - time job.

Zhou Qingyu nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that it's not that difficult to earn money by working part - time!" [Next door, Ye Luoyi and Lu Beiyu are going to cry!]

[I used to think that the young lady was a rich and beautiful girl and everything she had was from her family. But now it seems that the young lady is quite amazing!] [The young lady may not know a lot of things, but the skills she is good at are quite advanced!] [Yan Xi is also very amazing. She was able to find a suitable restaurant for the young lady in such a short time. There is a concert near Huosang Restaurant, and the guests there all like music. If it were an ordinary restaurant, there wouldn't be so many tips!] [The two of them make a perfect match!]

After finishing the task, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi prepared to go back to the villa.

Working is more tiring than traveling. The two decided to go back and take a nap. Just then, a woman in a white evening dress stepped forward. "Hello."

She had an Asian face with sharp features and spoke Chinese quite fluently. She took out a business card. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Chi Wei, the manager of the Gufan Symphony Orchestra. I think your performance, Miss Zhou, was excellent, and I'd like to invite you to join our troupe."

[Gufan? Isn't that one of the three most famous orchestras in China?] [They actually came to recruit the young lady! The young lady is awesome!]

[Is the young lady going to give up being an actress and become a musician?] [To be honest, the young lady is better at playing the cello than acting. Music really suits her. But I'm so sad that I won't be able to see the young lady's beautiful face anymore!] Zhou Qingyu took the business card. The other person was Chinese, and Gufan was a well - known symphony orchestra in the country. Zhou Qingyu had even listened to their performances before. To be honest, Zhou Qingyu was a little tempted.

Her former dream was to join a famous symphony orchestra and become a musician.

However, Zhou Qingyu still returned the business card to Chi Wei.

"Sorry, I'm an actress and I have no intention of changing my job." Brother Yubai is still in the entertainment industry, and Zhou Qingyu doesn't want to be too far away from him. Chi Wei felt quite sorry. She had good eyesight and had discovered many new talents over the years. As soon as she heard Zhou Qingyu's performance, she knew that this person had talent and was willing to work hard, but it seemed that she had wasted a few years.

It didn't matter much. Chi Wei checked Zhou Qingyu's information and found that she was only 23 years old. With some effort, it wouldn't be a problem for her to return to her peak.

It's a pity that the other person wasn't interested.

One can't force someone in the matter of music. Since Zhou Qingyu didn't want to give up her job as an actress, Chi Wei didn't force her.

She came to Huosang Restaurant today because she planned to go to the concert later. After the invitation failed, Chi Wei packed her handbag and turned to go to the theater. At the entrance of Huosang Restaurant, Yan Xi suddenly called out to Chi Wei.

"Miss Chi! Can I have one of your business cards?"

Chi Wei turned back and sized Yan Xi up. She remembered that this little girl had been helping Zhou Qingyu out just now, collecting tips from the customers and so on. It seemed that she didn't know anything about music?

"Do you want to join us?"

"No, no," Yan Xi smiled. "I just want a business card. Maybe... Qingyu will change her mind one day?"

Chi Wei's eyes lit up. That's right. She may not agree now, but maybe Zhou Qingyu will change her mind one day.

Chi Wei took out her phone. "Let's add each other on WeChat!"

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi had lunch at Huosang Restaurant before getting up to go back to the villa. It was a Michelin three - star restaurant, and the consumption exceeded the money they earned at noon. Fortunately, Director Yu only required the guests to earn money and didn't restrict their spending. On the way back, the stretched Lincoln turned into a pedestrian street. Piao Baoyuan said that there was a milk tea shop there that had very delicious milk tea, and both Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were quite interested. They had worked today, so they decided to put aside their weight - loss plan for now. They couldn't treat their stomachs badly!

While Piao Baoyuan went down to buy milk tea, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were sitting in the car boredly, discussing where to go after the nap. There were many well - known scenic spots from Korean dramas in Han City, and the two wanted to go there to take pictures.

Just then, Yan Xi noticed a long queue not far away on the pedestrian street. "What delicious food is it that so many people are queuing up for!" Zhou Qingyu also craned her neck. The PD took a glance. "It's not food. It's also a guest of our program." He glanced at the program group's car parked not far away. "It seems to be Lu Beiyu's group!"

Yan Xi was surprised. "Lu Beiyu said he was going to make money by painting. I thought he was just talking. It turns out he's really good at painting!"

Anyway, Piao Baoyuan hadn't come back with the milk tea yet, so the two of them got out of the car to check it out. The queue in front of Lu Beiyu was quite long.

But people weren't queuing up for a painting. Instead, they were... queuing up to see Yaozu. Yaozu was wearing a silver goggles, and its white fur was shiny, looking extremely handsome.

There was a small sign in front of it, written in Korean: "A photo costs five thousand won. You can pet the dog, but you must wash your hands!"

The long queue in front of them consisted entirely of tourists who wanted to pet Yaozu and take photos with it. And Lu Beiyu was sitting pitifully on a small stool, holding his tablet, with an empty space in front of him and not a single tourist.

"Yan Xi..."

"Zhou Qingyu..."

They suddenly had a more vivid understanding of the saying "the younger one benefits from the popularity of the older one". Zhou Qingyu saw that Lu Beiyu didn't have any customers and really felt sorry for him. "Just sell me a painting. It'll count as your income for today." Lu Beiyu was overjoyed. "The young lady is the best!"

Piao Baoyuan came back with the milk tea. Zhou Qingyu sipped the milk tea while waiting for Lu Beiyu to finish the painting.

Half an hour later, Lu Beiyu's painting was finished.

Zhou Qingyu looked at the picture on the tablet. "Lu Beiyu, you're quite good at painting!"

She originally thought Lu Beiyu's paintings would be terrible, which was why no one was interested. Now it seemed she had miscalculated.

Zhou Qingyu praised, "These two caterpillars are quite cute! Oh, they're even dancing, and one of them is smiling!"

Lu Beiyu was silent for a while. "What I painted... is clearly you and Sister Yan Xi!"
