"Gulp!"
A series of bubbles emerged from the bathtub.
Sihwa's head and shoulders popped out of the water. She sleepily wiped the water off her face and opened her mouth to yawn.
It was quiet in the direction of the bedroom. There was no other sound except for the sound of the monkey typing.
She wasn't fully awake yet. If it weren't for the sunlight shining in through the curtain of the small bathroom window and shining on the water, refracting at a small angle and shining on her face at the bottom of the bathtub, she probably wouldn't have woken up yet.
In the past, when Zhang Zian went into the bathroom to wash up every morning, Sihwa would often be woken up. But since she had a mobile phone, she slept later than before. She always played with the battery until there was only 1% left before she reluctantly put down the phone and asked Zhang Zian to charge it for her. When she woke up the next day, the fully charged phone was always on the bathroom cabinet.
She turned on the screen and looked at the time. The 100% battery gave her an inexplicable sense of security. It was not even nine in the morning. It wasn't too late, but Zhang Zian and the other elfins were used to getting up early.
There were faint voices coming from downstairs outside the window. She lifted the curtain and raised her hand to block the sunlight. She squinted and looked down. She saw Zhang Zian holding the dog and two other strangers talking while walking out. One of the men was carrying a professional-looking camera.
She thought about it and guessed that these two were probably from the TV station. She had watched TV series with the TV station as the background.
Zhang Zian went out with them, and his whereabouts were unknown. This meant that no one would go up to the second floor for the time being. She had never seen anyone other than Zhang Zian go up to the second floor, at least for now.
Clicking on the camera, she tilted her head and made a peace sign, taking a selfie.
"Well, I'm beautiful today too!" She looked at her photo with satisfaction.
There were already many photos in the album, and 99% of them were her selfies. They looked somewhat similar because the background of the selfies was very monotonous. It was all a bathtub, a tile wall, and a bathroom shelf.
In addition to the selfies, there were also some ordinary photos taken with the rear camera. The angle of the photos was almost all overlooking. She took photos of the pedestrians on the road from the small window of the bathroom, and there were also photos of the birds that landed on the window sill to rest.
The rear camera was actually much more powerful than the front camera. It could even zoom in on the target and get a clearer picture of what it wanted to capture — the scientific name was zoom.
She would take pictures of the passersby's actions and expressions when they were not aware of it. Later, she would study them carefully. Sometimes, she could see the naked anxiety and desire on their faces — promotions and salary increases, finding a spouse and having children, scheming against each other, and worrying about personal gains and losses. It was all the pressure of life.
She was a little envious of human legs. Okay, she was very envious. Whether they were long or short, fat or thin, they could go wherever they wanted. They could even go on a trip whenever they wanted.
But she couldn't, because she didn't have legs. Although she could go on a trip whenever she wanted, humans didn't really "walk" when they wanted. Instead, they took a car, a boat, or a plane. "Walking" only took up a very small part of the trip, but she could only really swim … The last time she "wanted to swim," she ended up paralyzed on the beach in Germany.
Of course, not all humans had two healthy legs. She occasionally saw disabled people or elderly people in wheelchairs passing by downstairs. They didn't look like they were complaining. Instead, they often looked optimistic and cheerful. They seemed happier than the pedestrians with all four limbs. Perhaps it was because they didn't have two healthy legs that they were less ambitious about life and the workplace. They didn't have to be so demanding of themselves and force themselves to bear the extra pressure.
Contentment was happiness — that was what Zhang Zian said.
So, whenever Sihwa envied human legs, she would secretly rejoice in her heart. If she had legs, she would be nothing more than a mediocre mortal in the mortal world. Her face would be full of exhaustion for the sake of living. How could she be happier than being a mermaid? Even though she was often scolded by Fina as an idiot, she could still wake up naturally every day and play with her phone until it ran out of battery. It was just a little lonely.
In a moment of absent-mindedness, the phone's battery was no longer at 100%. This made her feel a sense of urgency. Starting from 99%, it wasn't far from 1%.
She closed the photo album. The screen wallpaper was the selfie she took with Fina. No matter what she said, Fina didn't intend to take a second photo with her.
"Well, let's see if anyone contacted me," she said to herself. She opened QQ and WeChat in a serious manner. These chat apps were all applied with the SIM card Zhang Zian bought for her.
There were no unread messages in WeChat, but there were four unread messages in QQ. Three of them were news, and one was the QQ weather.
Of course, the number of friends in these chat apps was only one, which was Zhang Zian. He obviously wouldn't specifically talk to her through the chat app.
"Hmph! One day, I will fill up my friend list. I want all of them to be handsome, handsome, rich, and long-legged oppas! I will make the cheapskate feel ashamed and delete his account to thank the world! Wahaha! "
The more she thought about it, the more proud she became. She couldn't help but laugh.
Her laughter might have been a little too presumptuous. The typing sound outside stopped for a short while and then continued.
While Zhang Zian was not there, she decided to try the live broadcast that she had been curious about for a long time. Of course, she could try it when Zhang Zian was there, but he might go upstairs at any time. It would be quite shameful to be seen by him.
It was not because she had no confidence in herself. She had watched a lot of live broadcasts recently, and those anchors didn't have much ability. Not to mention those anchors who played games, she couldn't understand what they were playing at all, and they were shouting and screaming. And those food anchors, they were completely competing to see who could eat more. They ate 100 scallops and 50 grilled sausages in one go. They were simply pigs. She now had a psychological shadow of chili powder and cumin powder, so she politely declined. What made her the most speechless were those talent anchors. Whether it was singing or dancing, they were all ordinary and looked extremely boring!
As for the girl named Snowy who came to the pet shop to broadcast, Sihwa had also seen her live broadcast, including her previous live broadcast videos. Compared to other anchors, Snowy's performance was not so pretentious, but that was all. Sihwa couldn't see why she was so popular …
Sihwa was full of confidence. As long as she started live broadcasting, there would definitely be a large number of viewers flocking in, and a lot of gifts would fall like rain. Not to mention a million a day, even ten million a day was possible. That cheapskate would be envious to death!
The only question was … What content was she broadcasting?
