Chapter 264: Chapter 264: There’s Tea, and It Should Be Explosive
In response to Piggy’s disdain, Soy just mumbled, "What’s the point of being so smart? It’s not like I’m trying to get into college."
Piggy said, frustrated, "But you can’t be *too* stupid either!"
The smile on Renee Jennings’s face grew even brighter. "Piggy is such an ambitious little cat."
Hearing this, Piggy said shyly, "It’s nothing, really."
Lazy Walt was extremely curious and quickly asked, "Renee, what are you guys talking about?"
Renee Jennings repeated Piggy and Soy’s conversation, and the viewers in the livestream were amused.
[Hahahaha, such cute cats!]
[How is Soy stupid? He’s super smart, he even knows he doesn’t have to apply for college~]
[What animals talk about is so interesting. I really wish I could understand them too.]
[I wish I could understand cats too.]
"Well, Renee, I won’t keep you any longer." Afraid of taking up too much time, Lazy Walt offered to disconnect. "Goodbye, Renee."
"Bye-bye, streamer." Piggy also waved a small paw at the screen. Seeing Soy just standing there in a daze, it gave him a quick swat.
Duly reprimanded, Soy quickly waved his paw. "Bye-bye!"
Lazy Walt disconnected, and her split-screen window went dark. A faint smile still lingered on Renee Jennings’s lips. "Piggy and Soy are just too funny."
The moment she finished speaking, splendid and dazzling romantic fireworks bloomed across the screen.
[Damn, King is a rich girl!]
[She just dropped a 5,888-credit gift like it’s nothing!]
Renee Jennings was a little embarrassed. "King, you’ve spent too much."
[Lazy Walt: Not at all! Renee is worth it!]
"Thank you." Renee Jennings brought her hands together in a gesture of thanks toward the camera, then continued, "Alright, let’s connect to the next person."
A user named "Shy Maiden" connected to the stream, and a face with exquisite makeup appeared in the split-screen window.
Renee Jennings raised an eyebrow, her tone lifting slightly. "A beauty."
The woman had long, elegantly curled hair, and her eyelashes were long and thick above large, bright eyes.
[Woah, she’s gorgeous.]
[What a stunner!]
[A girl that beautiful can’t have morals. Where’s your conscience? Where are your principles? And where can I get your number?]
Shy Maiden covered her mouth, a bashful smile on her face. "AHHH, I can’t believe I got through! I’m so happy! Everyone’s complimenting me. I’m so happy I could burst!"
"Hello, Shy Maiden," Renee Jennings said with a smile.
"Hello, Renee!" Shy Maiden cupped her face in her hands, her eyes filled with joy and excitement. "I’m a huge fan!"
The smile on Renee Jennings’s face deepened. "Thank you. The pleasure is all mine."
Shy Maiden gushed, professing her admiration for Renee Jennings. "You’ll definitely be the star of my dreams tonight."
After hearing her words, the viewers started to tease her.
[This "Shy Maiden" isn’t shy at all, is she?]
[Girl, even I’m getting second-hand embarrassment, and I have no shame.]
When Shy Maiden saw the comments, a blush crept onto her cheeks. She said bashfully, "Hey now, don’t say that. You’ll make me blush."
"Okay, okay, let’s change the subject," Renee Jennings said, smoothly transitioning. "Shy Maiden, do you have any pets?"
"I do." Shy Maiden flipped her camera to show a Labrador retriever lying by the head of the bed. "His name is Joy, and he’s a boy. Joy, give a New Year’s greeting to the pretty lady on the stream."
As her words fell, the Labrador stood up and brought his two front paws together in a greeting gesture.
[Wow, what a good boy!]
[Joy is awesome. Unlike my useless mutt at home, who I can’t even teach to shake.]
Seeing someone in the comments praise Joy, Shy Maiden said proudly, "Hehe, my Joy is super smart."
Renee Jennings was about to speak when she suddenly heard Joy open his mouth and start barking.
"Sigh, I, Joy, am smart! But my master is the biggest fool in all of Zenvia!"
To Shy Maiden, the barking just sounded like Joy responding to her words.
Renee Jennings’s eyes flickered. She asked softly, "Joy, who did you just say is the biggest fool in Zenvia?"
"Joey!" Joy replied, then immediately froze, his canine jaw metaphorically dropping.
’Wait... can a human actually understand me?’
"Joy, what’s with that face?" Shy Maiden said, amused. "It’s so ugly!"
Joy suddenly leaped onto the bed, pawing at Shy Maiden’s hand and staring curiously at the screen of her phone. "Let me see!"
Although Shy Maiden couldn’t understand Joy’s words, she could more or less read his body language.
She flipped her camera back, resignedly holding the phone out in front of him. She introduced with a smile, "Joy, this pretty lady is an animal expert. She can understand what animals are saying. Do you want to have a chat with her?"
"Oh my god, you can really understand me?" Joy’s eyes went wide in utter shock.
Renee Jennings: "I really can. So, who’s the biggest fool in Zenvia?"
Joy looked up at Shy Maiden.
[Haha, who’s he looking at?]
[Probably Shy Maiden.]
Shy Maiden caught on too and asked in surprise, "Joy, are you saying *I’m* the biggest fool in Zenvia?"
Joy nodded. "Yep, that’s you!"
"Why?" Shy Maiden was both annoyed and curious. "How am I a fool?"
"Pretty streamer." Joy looked at Renee Jennings on the phone again. "Let me tell you, the reason I, Joy, say she’s the biggest fool is because..."
Shy Maiden watched Joy bark for a long time, not understanding a single word. She hurriedly turned to the expert for help. "Renee, what did Joy say?"
Renee Jennings pressed her lips together and furrowed her brow. Her expression as she looked at the girl became complicated. "If what Joy said is true, then you really might be a bit of a fool."
[So she’s a ditsy beauty?]
[So what did Joy say? Is there tea? Is it juicy?]
"There’s tea," Renee Jennings answered the comment. "And I guess you could call it juicy."
Shy Maiden’s eyelashes trembled, a sense of unease growing within her. Her tone became tense. "Renee, is it bad news?"
Renee Jennings nodded lightly. "It’s not great."
Shy Maiden frowned. "Well, tell me."
"It’s not entirely a bad thing, actually," Renee Jennings said comfortingly. "Don’t worry too much."
Shy Maiden: "Okay, I’m ready."
Renee Jennings began to speak slowly. "I just heard Joy say that you and your boyfriend went to visit a relative tonight?"
"That’s right." Shy Maiden explained, "We came to his older cousin’s house. He said his cousin has always taken good care of him, so he comes to visit her whenever he’s free."
"Whenever he’s free?" Renee Jennings raised an eyebrow slightly. "How often is that, approximately?"
Shy Maiden thought for a moment. "Probably once every two weeks."
Renee Jennings: "Do you go with your boyfriend every time?"
Shy Maiden shook her head. "Not always. Sometimes I make my own plans to go out with friends. Since it’s not my own cousin, I always feel a little awkward coming over."
After speaking, she belatedly realized something and asked uneasily, "Renee, this ’tea’ you mentioned... it doesn’t have to do with my boyfriend’s cousin, does it?"
