It's the weekend, oh! I should be out and about, so why am I stuck at home alone? Aren't students usually cooped up at school supposed to hang out with their best buddies on weekends? I've finished the latest anime updates, and I don't even have a little sister at home. There's really no reason to stay indoors.

Alright, time to go out and have fun!

I slipped on yesterday's high-heeled ankle boots and slowly descended the stairs. Stepping out the building door, I was hit by blinding sunlight. Ah~ As expected, I still had no idea what to do. Oh, right! I hadn't bought that webcam I promised my viewers yesterday. Since I was out anyway, I might as well grab one. With that thought, I walked out of the residential garden, heading straight for the electronics mall. Let's go!

... ...

I'd planned to walk all the way to the electronics mall. My home is in the city's west end, while the mall is in the east end. Halfway there, I gave up decisively. For one, my feet were starting to ache. Plus, the gazes of young guys on the street kept locking onto me, making me uneasy. I feared they'd think I was some cross-dressing weirdo. Walking with that intense focus was exhausting too. Time to take the bus!

"Check out that girl~ Look at those legs~ Tsk tsk."

"Huh? Now that you mention it, her legs are gorgeous too. Is she a model? I was too busy staring at her chest earlier. No wonder you're an old hand at this."

"You guys are so gross! Leering at her like creeps. She's obviously not a model—look how shy she is, so innocent~"

"Hey, bro! Your first half and second half don't match. Split personality much?"

"Don't say that. Where I'm from, people like him are called gentlemen!" The old driver pulled the bespectacled youth aside.

"Where you're from?"

"Oh? Nice to meet you. I'm Oda Namihira, also known as Tian Boguang in Chinese. I'm from Japan. I'm a gentleman. Pleased to meet you."

"Pleased to meet you too. So you're the Akina veteran driver? Touring China?" the bespectacled youth asked.

"My parents were fascinated by this place, so they immigrated here with me years ago. I study here. Today, I'm gathering materials."

"Gathering materials? How? Just standing here watching?"

"Since you're one of us, I won't hide it. You saw that beauty just now, right? We placed a mini camera on the step she passed. And the guy who called you gross earlier is our partner; he handles front shots. We blocked his lens just now. He's not much of a talker. If he offended you... well, even the two of us combined can't beat him, so let's forget it."

"Hmm, no hard feelings. Add my WeChat. Send me a copy of those photos later. I'm Bai Xiaofei. Thanks!"

The bespectacled youth Bai Xiaofei and the Akina veteran Tian Boguang exchanged contacts. But their legendary story was just beginning. Who could have guessed this chance encounter would mark the start of their domination over all campus media at ClearWater Academy.

... ...

Ugh~ When did buses get this crowded! I stood squeezed in the middle of the crowd, unable to reach a handrail—and didn't need to. People packed around me like a tightly wrapped dumpling. Luckily, no legendary bus molester. But the guy in front kept swaying with the bus's acceleration and braking, his back constantly bumping my chest—it hurt! Sister behind you, stop resting your head on my neck and breathing heavily; it's so hot, my ears turned red! Little bro on the side, stop getting high on the bus with your headphones. Your devilish dance moves rubbed your arm against mine the whole way! Next stop... next stop was coming. I could endure!

Screech~ The bus finally stopped. The crowd surged, and I managed to get off. On the bus, I'd felt someone messing with my pocket. Were my wallet and phone still there...? I quickly checked my pocket. Both were there. Opening the wallet, money and ID were intact. Not only was nothing missing, but there was an extra note: (Check phone) Huh? My phone wasn't stolen—why tell me to check it? I pulled out my phone and saw a draft text:

(Little girl, be more careful next time. That headphone-wearing jerk beside you was going to steal your wallet. I kept it safe for you this trip. No need to thank me; I've already taken my payment. - The Molester)

Uncle Molester, you're so amazing your family must not know. But still, thanks. I really didn't give you any payment... Another new text, hmm, unknown number. Let me see:

(Beauty, that woman just now was going to steal your phone. I beat her to it. Don't thank me; all for DJ.)

Heh, weren't you trying to steal my wallet just now...?

Suddenly, a ringtone startled me. It came from my phone, but the ringtone had changed! Little bro DJ, you betrayed DJ! This song is Jay Chou's "Typhoon"! Whatever, I'll answer~

"Hello?"

"Hehehe, it's me, the one behind you just now~"

"The one who tried to steal my phone..."

"Oh? What's up?"

"Don't be so cold. I just stole your wallet back from that uncle for you. I saved my number on your phone; don't mind it~"

"Thanks... I don't mind."

"Next time, don't put things in such easy-to-reach spots~ You're so cute, I couldn't help but help. Next time, you might not be so lucky. No need to thank me; just treat me to a meal next time. Bye~"

"......"

Who says people today lack love and affection! Look at that molester uncle, that DJ youth, and that mysterious lady behind me. The bus was brimming with positive energy! You moved me! But... who can tell me, who exactly is the thief...

Hmm, whatever. As long as my stuff's safe, everything's awesome. Swinging my wallet, I walked into the electronics mall with a smile. I found a professional peripherals store. The boss enthusiastically recommended over ten high-end webcams, but I didn't have enough money. Time to haggle!

"Boss, 600 for this webcam is too expensive!"

"Sorry, that's already the factory price."

"I saw it for 480 on Taobao!"

"Then go buy it on Taobao."

"Boss..."

"What's the problem?"

"I only have 400. I'm buying it for live streaming; I don't need a top-tier webcam."

"Live streaming? Tsk, dancing streams?"

"No, playing LOL... sorry to disappoint."

"LOL! Webcam! That voice... You're Mumu!"

"Huh?! Big bro, you know me?"

"What do you mean 'know'? If I knew your address, I'd have mailed you a webcam yesterday! I sent you two small trains yesterday too. Others sent you lots; why can't you afford a better one?"

"Two small trains... Who are you? I really don't remember. I need to save money to support my sister and myself."

"I'm that guy who begged the room admin to ban me, XXXX."

"Oh! That guy. Your hobby is quite unique, liking to get banned by admins..."

"Hahaha, you don't know. Your stream's room admin is that idiot who sells game discs at my place. He's my buddy; he wouldn't dare ban me. If he does, I'll smash his computer!"

"Oh~ My stream's admin? I'll get to know him. What a coincidence."

"Cheap? This area sells electronics. I'm bored all day watching streams here. Anyone who loves LOL watches you. Your Yasuo, tsk tsk, your moves are insane! Too bad Chubby's not here; he'd be thrilled to see you."

"Oh~ That's a shame. But I really only have 400 today. How about you sell it to me now, and I'll pay you online later?"

"Money? I've sent you gifts worth more than this!" He pulled another webcam from the drawer to give me. Honestly, I was overjoyed. Having my profession acknowledged is the greatest praise, better than being called handsome!

"Take this one. It has built-in beautification, easy to use, and durable. Price: six photos. No cash accepted. Thank you for your patronage!"

"Then I won't be polite. You know I'm not one to stand on ceremony."

He took out a camera and had me pose for a few shots. Satisfied, he bid me goodbye. I left the electronics mall overjoyed. We're not people who treat money like dirt; we need it too. But some things transcend money, don't they?
