When Rose Milk Tea heard what Wen Ying said, she wasn't the only one who was skeptical. The viewers in the livestream didn't believe it either.
She sounded exactly like a scammer.
[This girl's totally full of it! If you said that to some guy, maybe I'd believe you, but you're talking to our gorgeous streamer, Milk Tea!]
[I'm a med student and I've studied counseling. To be precise, treating a patient with psychological issues takes a month or two, and that's if you see results quickly. Slower cases can take half a year, a year, or even several years! This streamer is such a fraud!]
[She's just trying to scam people out of money on her stream. And to think I thought she was pretty. What a waste of a pretty face! Reported!]
Seeing these comments, Rose Milk Tea felt a secret thrill of delight but was careful not to show it.
'If this streamer is a scammer, I can use this 'scam' to win everyone's sympathy and goodwill. I could go viral again!'
'To get famous, you need a gimmick, and that's exactly what I'm missing.'
'Maybe I can gain tens of thousands of new followers from this.'
With this in mind, Rose Milk Tea sent a gift worth a thousand yuan, her expression mournful. "Doctor Wen, I haven't been feeling well at all lately. I went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctors said there's nothing wrong with me. What could my problem be?"
Wen Ying looked at her and said in a steady voice, "It's a psychological issue."
"What kind of psychological issue?" Rose Milk Tea asked, playing along.
"Depression."
[Holy crap! Milk Tea has depression? I never would've guessed!]
"You've got to be kidding me, right? You can tell I have depression just by looking at me? I'll admit I've been a little emotional lately, but my fans know I'm just tired from streaming so much. Depression... heh."
Rose Milk Tea scoffed, pointedly dropping the "Doctor" title. She planned to report Wen Ying as soon as the call ended.
'This streamer's scamming techniques are so lame. What's the point of having a pretty face?'
'You need brains to get by in this world.'
[That "heh" from Milk Tea was perfect! Love it! Since we all know she's a scammer, why don't we just report her and bounce?]
[I wanna see how she's gonna keep this act up~]
[Everyone in the stream knows she's a fraud except for her. This is hilarious!]
"Psychological issues are a broad topic. As they say, your face reflects your heart. You, 'Milk Tea,' have recently been suffering from insomnia, anxiety, and nightmares, haven't you? You've even bought medication, but it hasn't had any effect. All of this is written on your face. Also, please address me as Doctor Wen."
Rose Milk Tea couldn't help but laugh. She had mentioned some of those things on her stream before. Wen Ying probably just watched her old broadcasts and was guessing. "Well then, Doctor Wen, can you tell what I'm thinking right now?"
"You're thinking that I'm just a brainless pretty face trying to scam people, and that you're going to report me as soon as this call is over."
Rose Milk Tea froze. That was, in fact, exactly what she was thinking.
[It's not just Milk Tea, we all think you're a scammer! Is that so hard to figure out? Listen to yourself. Do you sound anything like a psychologist? You sound more like a fortune-telling fraud!]
[Exactly! What you just said is so generic it could apply to anyone. It's just like a cold reading!]
Rose Milk Tea saw the comments and felt relieved.
'That's right. How could I have thought this airhead actually had any real skill?'
"Anyone could have guessed that, so it doesn't count. Why don't you tell me why I supposedly have depression, Doctor Wen."
"You married your current husband three years ago. Two years after that, your parents passed away in an accident. You spent every last penny of your family's savings on their medical care, and your husband never once blamed you. Instead, he was a constant source of comfort and support."
[I've heard Milk Tea talk about this before. It's true!]
[If Milk Tea has talked about it, that means it's public info. This streamer probably just did her homework beforehand, right?]
[Is Milk Tea's husband really that amazing? Now I get why she works so hard streaming to support him! I want a husband like that too!]
Hearing this, Rose Milk Tea's eyes reddened as she nodded.
'That's why I swore I would never leave him, that I'd be good to him for the rest of my life.'
"Because your husband only earns six thousand a month and you have a mortgage, you feel indebted to him, so you stream like crazy to earn money and support the family."
Hearing this, Rose Milk Tea nodded with a smile. "You're not wrong. But if I'm so happy, how could I possibly have depression?"
"Don't be so hasty. You don't have it now. But you will by the time I'm finished speaking."
[LMAO! What the hell? You're saying Milk Tea will get depression just from listening to you talk?!]
