Chapter 788: Birth Of A Retirement Lifestyle Streamer!
Translator: Lordbluefire
On the second day, after Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen woke up, they went for a half-hour run, returned to shower, had breakfast, and then prepared to go fishing together.
As they stepped out of their courtyard, they noticed their neighbors, Li Li and her husband, getting ready to go out.
Upon seeing them, Li Li’s husband immediately greeted, “Hey, Miss Shen, please wait for a moment.”
Shen Ruojing halted her steps.
Li Li’s husband walked over and handed her a book, saying, “This is an acupuncture book 1 used during my university days. I don’t know if it will be helpful to you, but you can take a look.”
Shen Ruojing glanced at the book and realized it was written by Cui Hao, a renowned figure in traditional Chinese medicine in Kyoto.
Li Li’s husband continued, “Do you know Cui Hao? Well, this book isn’t his personal insights. It is said that during his medical inquiries, he once encountered a mysterious physician in Sea City who gave him some guidance. As a result, Cui Hao developed some new ideas. Hence, this book contains the insights of that enigmatic physician. It’s not publicly available, and 1 had to go through several teachers to acquire a copy. Miss Shen, I’m not sure how much you know about acupuncture, but I’m certain that reading this book will be beneficial.”
Li Li’s husband sincerely meant his offer, as he didn’t look down upon Shen Ruojing.
After all, he didn’t know the extent of her medical skills, and he had no intention of belittling her. The book he offered was something he had obtained with great effort back in the day. Even esteemed Chinese medicine professors like Cui Hao found it valuable. For anyone studying traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, it was a highly prized possession.
Shen Ruojing hesitated for a moment and fell silent after seeing the book.
Cui Hao?
Wasn’t he the elderly man who couldn’t see the road clearly?
She remembered him; she had given him some occasional pointers, and he had even asked her if he could write a book. Being a lazy person, Shen Ruojing wouldn’t have bothered to write a book herself, so she told Cui Hao that he could use the knowledge she shared with him to teach others under his own name. She didn’t mind.
However, she never expected that a mentor-level expert like Cui Hao would take credit for someone else’s work.
So Cui Hao wrote a book, claiming it was the insights of the “Divine Doctor Jing”.
Now, this book had somehow ended up in Shen Ruojing’s hands…
She looked at the book, her lips twitching, wanting to say she didn’t need it. However, when she raised her head and saw the earnest look in Li Li’s eyes, she found it hard to refuse.
This couple seemed genuinely kind-hearted, and she felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to reject their goodwill.
Shen Ruojing cleared her throat, accepted the book, and said to Li Li’s husband, “Thank you.”
Li Li’s husband scratched his head, “You’re welcome. But please be careful with it and don’t let the book get dirty… Well, you know, it wasn’t easy for me to get this book, so I value it a lot.”
“Alright.”
Shen Ruojing turned around solemnly, placed the book back in her home, and then stepped outside.
Li Li and her husband had already gone far.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen set off again, leisurely walking towards a nearby small river.
In the courtyard across the street…
Xiao Yi had just woken up, yawning as he started his live stream, “Good morning, everyone! Welcome to watch Xiao Yi’s retirement project. Today, I’m going to prepare some breakfast… Retirement life is too boring, so 1 have to cook my own breakfast…”
The barrage of comments quickly filled the screen:
Tsk tsk, Xiao Yi is already in retirement, sleeping until he naturally wakes up, while we office workers are already at work.
I’m so envious of this life where you can sleep until you wake up naturally…
1 don’t know why, but I feel like this retirement life isn’t quite right. Unless it’s me experiencing it…
On the internet, everyone was making jokes, and Xiao Yi had already started live-streaming the process of making his breakfast.
He made a bowl of wontons and, after finishing his meal, laid down on the couch, ready to play with his phone. The barrage of comments immediately filled the screen again:
Honestly, this retirement life may be nice, but doing it occasionally during busy times is one thing. Doing it every day is just too boring, don’t you think?
Yeah, lying around and playing with your phone makes you feel like a complete waste.
Sigh, I’ve been watching for a few days now, and it’s the same content every day. It’s getting boring.
After seeing the barrage of comments, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but frown, “Retirement life is all about doing whatever you want, comrades. If you don’t want me to play with my phone, then how about we go plant some flowers today?”
The barrage of comments expressed their disinterest.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea, “Alright, how about we go fishing then? The two neighbors next door are always free and go fishing every day. Oh, speaking of retirement life, their lifestyle seemed to be that of real retirement. They wake up at six every day, and the husband and wife go jogging. However, they’re not elderly but are young people… What? You don’t believe they can wake up at six?”
Xiao Yi sat up straight; he disliked being questioned by the audience in his live stream, so he immediately responded, “Alright, tomorrow morning at six, I’ll set an alarm and show you…!”
After the live stream ended, Xiao Yi’s team members spoke up, “Xiao Yi, our viewership has been stagnant for a while, with no fluctuations. If you start the live stream so early tomorrow, the viewer count might be even lower…”
Xiao Yi immediately waved his hand, “The content in our live stream is a bit monotonous right now. I’m using this to pique everyone’s interest. Don’t worry, let’s see the data tomorrow morning, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll do a ten-minute stream….”
