I typically carried my student ID with me, so I immediately handed it over. The woman looked at it and finally relaxed when she saw that I was indeed a student from the university next door. After all, our university was known for being academically competitive, and everyone who studied there had solid grades.

"Alright. You've got a decent appearance and are from a credible uni. You can start working tomorrow."

Smiling awkwardly, I decided that this wasn't the best time to ask about the bar's situation. I'd have to find out more when I dropped by tomorrow. When I returned outside, Matthew and the others were already preparing to leave. Well, it seemed like they weren't that attached to the bar after all.

Not wanting to be a third wheel around Matthew and Isabelle, I let them go on ahead while I took a taxi back to the campus. When I got in the cab, Benjamin sent me a message.

"Hey, check it out! Lina is doing a live stream. Here's the link!"

I was puzzled by Benjamin's message. Lina, live-streaming? Curious, I clicked on the link and was surprised to see that he had been telling the truth.

Lina was wearing a cat-ear headband and a skimpy outfit. She pouted at the camera and purred, "Thanks for supporting me. My name is Lina, and this is my first time streaming."

What the heck?

Even though I didn't have feelings for Lina anymore, seeing her blatantly trying to please men online left a sour taste in my mouth. No matter what, she shouldn't be stooping so low.

Felicia only did it because she needed money for her dad's life-saving surgery. But what was Lina's excuse? She merely owed Ryan a few thousand dollars, yet she was already doing such inappropriate things. How disgraceful!

I quickly shot her a text. "Are you serious, Lina? Are you really doing this because of some money? Do you realize how much this will affect your reputation?"

After all, she was different from Felicia. Felicia wasn't as famous as her, and she stopped streaming after the last time. So, not many people even knew about it. Lina, on the other hand, was practically a celebrity on campus. A single stream was enough to flush her reputation down the drain. Forget finding a decent boyfriend. Anyone from a respectable family would avoid her at all costs after this.

I had to pull her out of this mess.

After sending the message, I kept my eyes glued to the screen. Lina briefly glanced at her phone, and a frown flashed across her face. Disinterestedly tossing it aside, she went back to flirting with the camera.

"Please do send some gifts, my darlings. If you do, I'll do anything you want. But you can't make any requests if you don't buy me any gifts, alright?"

I took a deep breath, nearly hurling my phone in frustration. I didn't know why I was that angry and wondered if I still had feelings for her.

Just then, the screen blinked, and a banner appeared.

"Dual Live Challenge!"

Immediately, the stream split in half. Lina's stream was on the right, while another female streamer appeared on the left.

"Winner Gets 100,000 dollars!"

The rules and prizes for the match appeared, and the chatroom instantly exploded with comments. The other streamer seemed far more popular, with over 20 thousand viewers, while Lina only had about 300.
