Part 1Sinking the Yacht

I was tipping a male model on a group stream, but my finger slipped, and I accidentally sent a Yacht to his teammate.

The model didn't show any emotion on screen.

But then, the guy who had been ignoring me for a month DMs me for the first time.

[Send me 52 Carnivals right now as compensation, or I'm unfollowing you to punish you, sis.]

I was stunned. A minute later, I got a DM from his teammate.

[Thank you, sis. It's my first time receiving a Yacht. I'll always remember you. /heart]

Oh.

So tipping can get you emotional value.

Guess I'll chase the sensible one then.

Later, when the model saw me casually drop 520 Carnivals on his teammate, he lost it, screaming for a refund, insisting I clicked the wrong person.

When I got Jax's DM, I felt a bit uncomfortable.

But then I thought about it.

I did send the gift to the wrong person first, affecting his spotlight.

Plus, I usually only tipped Jax in this stream.

Suddenly sending a Sports Car to his rival? Understandable he'd be upset.

Male gods have tempers, right?

Just as I was about to send him ten Yachts as compensation, a new notification popped up.

[System Notification: KU-Zayne followed you.]

Then a DM from this account popped up.

KU-Zayne: [Thank you, sis. It's my first time receiving a Yacht. I'll always remember you. /heart]

I paused for a few seconds, clicked on the profile to enlarge the avatar, and barely matched it to the filtered face in the stream.

Zayne.

Seems like the guy I accidentally gifted.

Looking closely, his face isn't inferior to Jax's.

The stream makeup was obviously bad; he looks cleaner and more refined in person.

But there's no helping it. Zayne has only been here a few days and always stands in the back row.

In a group stream of ten, seeing two-thirds of his face on screen is considered good.

But he doesn't seem to know the tip was a mistake.

His words were... quite sincere.

It's just a Yacht. No need to explain and disappoint him.

I didn't plan to reply.

Just as I was about to exit, he sent another message.

KU-Zayne: [Sis, I will work even harder on my dancing. I won't let your encouragement down!]

Uh, kind of a pitiful little transparent guy.

Thanking me multiple times for one Yacht.

I replied with a polite [Fighting!], planning to go back to the stream to tip Jax.

But suddenly, my phone started blowing up with notifications.

All from Jax.

KU-Jax: [?] [Sis, didn't you see my message?] [Why haven't you tipped me yet?] [What's the meaning of this?] [So, sis, you tipped someone else on purpose to make me mad?] [Fine.] [I get it.]

I was confused. Sent a [?] back.

Received a red exclamation mark.

?

Excuse me? He blocked me?!

Anger flared in my chest.

I've been chasing him and tipping him for two months, spending at least ten thousand dollars.

And just because of one mistake, he gives me attitude?

Fine.

If you look down on me so much, plenty of others won't.

Sister is done playing.

Just as I was angrily closing the app, I glanced at the pitiful handsome guy's message again.

My finger paused.

I've been ruthless my whole life.

But I have a soft spot for humble, hardworking, handsome guys.

Even if he's faking it, at least he's willing to put in the effort for me.

So, I stormed back into the livestream.
