Sihwa was angry. She wanted to scold [Watermelon], but the person left right after saying that, not giving her a chance to scold him.
In the blink of an eye, the number of followers dropped from 3,177. Even a few regulars unfollowed and left the live broadcast room.
"That's it for today! I'm not broadcasting anymore! " She was in a terrible mood. She turned off the live broadcast app in a fit of pique, not even officially greeting her fans.
She took out her phone and played with it, but for the first time, she felt that playing with her phone was quite boring.
"Damn it! Saying a lot of nonsense, it's affecting my mood! "
She changed a few positions to play with her phone, trying to find the fun she used to have with her phone, but she couldn't focus. She kept thinking about what the person had said, and then comparing it with her own situation, trying to prove that the person was wrong.
However, the more she compared, the more it seemed that the person was right.
"Woo …"
She put her phone aside, crossed her arms on the edge of the bathtub, and laid down weakly. She was in a terrible mood.
"Sihwa, are you not feeling well?"
She heard the voice and raised her head to see Old Time Tea's brass-colored eyes staring at her.
"No …" She sat up straight, pouted, and glanced at Old Time Tea. "Old Time Tea, what are you doing up here?"
In her memory, Old Time Tea rarely came up after going downstairs every morning.
"Oh, I drank a little too much tea and was about to go to the bathroom. I heard your voice in the hallway and thought you were not feeling well, so I came to see you," Old Time Tea explained. "Since you're fine, I'll go downstairs."
Sihwa was indeed a little uncomfortable, but not physically. She was feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
She really wanted to find someone to talk to. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to vent the anger in her heart. She was about to explode.
"Old Time Tea, wait!" She stopped Old Time Tea.
She wanted to talk to Fina, but she wasn't sure when Fina would come up. She really couldn't wait any longer.
Old Time Tea turned around. "What else?"
Sihwa hesitated. She peeked at Old Time Tea's face and asked, "I want to ask you a few questions, but you won't tell my questions to others, right? Especially don't tell the stingy Zhang Zian, or else he'll laugh at me … "
"Hehe, don't worry. My lips are sealed." Old Time Tea laughed.
"That's what you said. You have to keep your word!" Sihwa was still worried.
The old man put away his smile and said seriously, "This old man's words cannot be taken back. Even an axe can't do anything to me. Sihwa, if you don't trust me, then I won't say anything. "
As it spoke, it wanted to leave again.
"Wait! I'll believe you! Why did he leave just like that? It's not like we're traveling! "Sihwa hurriedly called out to it.
After hesitating for a long time, she plucked up her courage and whispered, "That … Fina always calls me an idiot. Am I really stupid? It's okay to tell the truth! "
Even so, she still stared at Old Time Tea with worried eyes, as if to say, "Comfort me a little. It's okay if you don't tell me the truth."
Old Time Tea didn't seem to notice her gaze and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Sihwa briefly explained what had just happened. "Old Time Tea, they all say that you are very knowledgeable. Can you be my judge? Is that person right?"
Old Time Tea didn't answer immediately. Instead, it paced back and forth, deep in thought.
Sihwa's body twisted and turned as she waited anxiously. She really wanted to know the answer, but she was afraid to know the answer.
"This old man thinks that there is some truth in what that person said." Old Time Tea stood still and looked back at her with burning eyes.
"Really … Really?" Sihwa's heart tightened, but she still kept a glimmer of hope, thinking that Old Time Tea might add that it was just joking.
She was disappointed. Old Time Tea's face was serious, and its eyes were calm. It didn't seem to be joking.
Old Time Tea said, "That person said that you can use your beauty to attract the audience, but you can't keep the audience. You can't turn the audience into your fans because they came to see you out of curiosity. After seeing you, they felt that you have no other advantages that could attract them, so they left without looking back. Is that what he meant?"
Sihwa nodded.
Old Time Tea smiled and said, "Sihwa, have you ever heard of an ancient poem — — How long will it take to satisfy others with your beauty?"
Sihwa shook her head blankly. She didn't even know which words the poem was composed of.
Old Time Tea explained, "The meaning of this poem is that outward beauty can only please you for a while, but the beauty of the heart can last forever. There is also a similar meaning, 'If you satisfy others with your beauty, love will run away when your beauty fades.' This means that people who are attracted by your beauty will abandon you when they have seen enough of your beauty, or when you lose your beauty as you grow older. "
Sihwa was still not convinced. Her beauty was beyond worldly beauty. How could anyone get enough of it?
"You don't believe me?" Old Time Tea seemed to have expected it. "When it comes to appearance, you are indeed unparalleled in the world. There is no other similar example in the world. However, there are many exquisite works of art in this world, and there are also many beautiful sceneries. These works of art and sceneries will make tourists who are new to the place click their tongues in wonder. However, the staff of the art gallery and the local residents are used to it and have no special feelings for these works of art and sceneries. Isn't this similar to your situation? "
Sihwa was speechless because the example given by Old Time Tea was very illustrative. No matter how beautiful a face was, after seeing it for a long time, it would become meaningless. This was probably the reason why she couldn't keep her fans. It was just like how tourists would appreciate works of art and sceneries, but they would only appreciate them. They would not settle down because of the works of art and sceneries. Even if they were really hot-headed and settled down, they would feel that it was boring after they got used to it.
"Then … Then what should I do?" She slumped on the edge of the bathtub as if she had lost all her strength. "I'm very stupid. I've never gone to school, never read a book, never worked. Am I destined to be unable to make my fans stay?"
"That's not necessarily true." Old Time Tea laughed. "Sihwa, you don't have to be discouraged, because where there is a will, there is a way. Who was born to go to school, read a book, and work? Who is more stupid than who? As long as you work hard, you can quickly catch up with others. "
As it spoke, Old Time Tea temporarily left. After a while, it came back with a book. This book was a novel that Pi had read before. Old Time Tea randomly took it from the bookshelf with Pi's permission.
"You might as well put down your phone for a while and start reading." It handed the book to her.
Sihwa took the book. A strange and rough feeling came from her fingertips. It wasn't as smooth as the phone's casing.
"Reading, can I get 10 points?" she asked.
"Of course." Old Time Tea smiled. "If you have a heart full of books, you will naturally be successful! If there is a person in this world who can get 10 points, I believe that it must be you! "
Sihwa looked down at the cover of the book. "Then … Then I'll read it."
