After getting home from campus, Brentley quickly freshened up and then lay down on his bed to watch Phoebe's live-stream.
When the username "Gone With The Wind" appeared in the chat, the viewers instantly went wild, sending greetings to him.
Ignoring the enthusiastic greetings, Brentley quietly watched Phoebe's stream.
He had to admit, Phoebe was not only very pretty but also had a beautiful singing voice.
On screen, Phoebe's long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her bright, star-like eyes were captivating, her lips were glossy and alluring. She wore a white blouse that accentuated her curves, and her fair, delicate skin glowed. Below the blouse, she wore a short skirt, and her long, slender legs were clad in black stockings, making her already stunning figure even more enticing.
However, Brentley thought Phoebe looked even more pure and beautiful in real life; the video didn't do her justice.
"Slut, you just wait! If I find out where you live, you're in big trouble!"
At that moment, a message from "Sunshire City Young Master Jordan" flashed across the chat.
Phoebe frowned slightly when she saw the message but continued singing without commenting on it.
The viewers in the chat quickly jumped to her defense, hurling insults at Sunshire City Young Master Jordan.
After sending that message, Sunshire City Young Master Jordan disappeared from the chat and didn't show up again.
Brentley watched the stream for a while longer, sent a few virtual gifts, and then turned off his phone to get ready for bed.
But before he could fall asleep, there was a knock at his door.
Hearing the knock, Brentley paused, then frowned and called out, "Who is it?"
"Brentley, it's me. Are you still awake?"
Phoebe's voice came through.
"No... I mean, yes, I'm awake," Brentley Carter quickly replied, hastily putting on his clothes and getting out of bed to open the door.
"Did you have dinner tonight? I ordered some late-night snacks. Want to join me?" Phoebe asked with a bright smile.
Phoebe had changed into more casual clothes, wearing a black nightgown that made her look even more alluring.
Brentley was momentarily taken aback by her appearance, then softly said, "Sure, but my place is a bit small. How about we eat at your place?"
Phoebe glanced around Brentley's room, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. "This is my first time at your place. I didn't know you lived in such a small space."
"I don't have much money, and the rent here is really cheap, so I stay here," Brentley replied, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, I see," Phoebe nodded gently, then turned and headed back to her room without saying much more.
Brentley followed Phoebe into her room, and they sat down at the dining table, eating and chatting.
"Did you watch my stream today?" Phoebe asked.
Phoebe softly asked Brentley Carter, "Did you see it?"
"Yeah, I did," Brentley nodded, then continued,
"But I saw that some guy named Young Master Jordan from Sunshire City was cursing at you. Why was he doing that?"
Phoebe paused for a moment, surprised by Brentley's question, then frowned and said, "That guy is just a jerk!"
"What did he do?" Brentley asked calmly.
"Remember yesterday when a rich guy sent a bunch of gifts in my live-stream? My popularity shot up instantly, and then this Jordan guy found my contact through the platform. He said he wanted to take me out for dinner and invited me to join his entertainment company..." Phoebe confided in Brentley without holding back.
"His entertainment company?" Brentley was surprised, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Yeah, his entertainment company. A lot of female streamers from our platform are in his company. He helps them boost their popularity or sends them gifts and stuff," Phoebe explained slowly.
"That sounds like a good thing, right?" Brentley said softly.
"A good thing?" Phoebe couldn't help but scoff, then frowned and said, "It's not a good thing at all. You don't understand our streaming industry. If I join his company, I have to give him fifty percent of all the gifts I receive. And I also have to... have to..."
Phoebe paused here, a blush spreading across her pretty face.
"What did he want from you?" Brentley Carter asked, momentarily stunned.
"Ugh, you know, that whole casting couch thing," Phoebe replied, frowning and sounding quite exasperated.
"Ha, so he wanted half the money and for you to sleep with him? What a dreamer," Brentley said, curling his lip in disdain.
"Exactly. So I refused him outright, and then he started threatening to come to my house. That's why you saw him spamming hateful comments about me," Phoebe explained slowly.
"I see!" Brentley nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "If he ever comes looking for you again, just call me. I'll take care of it."
"You'll take care of it?" Phoebe was stunned by Brentley's words, then couldn't help but smile wryly.
In Phoebe's eyes, Brentley probably couldn't even take care of his own basic needs right now. How could he possibly handle her problems?
"Yeah, I'll take care of it," Brentley said calmly, nodding.
"Forget it. It's not a big deal anyway, and I doubt that Young Master Jordan will actually find my house. It should be fine," Phoebe replied tactfully, not wanting to hurt Brentley's pride.
"Alright then, but if anything comes up, just give me a call," Brentley responded calmly,
Phoebe, seeing Brentley's confidence, didn't say much. She just nodded lightly and continued eating.
A moment later, Phoebe suddenly looked up at Brentley and softly said, "Brentley, why don't you move in with me?"
"Spit-take..."
Brentley, who had been drinking water, immediately sprayed it out upon hearing her words. He stared at Phoebe in utter shock.
"You... you want us to live together?"
Brentley shouted at Phoebe, his eyes wide with disbelief.
