Three days later, Wen Ying got up at six in the morning for a run.
Morning runs were a rare sight on this street. Some of the shops opened early, and when the owners saw Wen Ying, they greeted her and soon learned she was Grandma Wen's granddaughter.
Her run was over by seven. After washing up and eating breakfast, she read for an hour. It wasn't until ten o'clock that Wen Ying finally started her livestream.
[The host is finally live! I've been waiting forever! But with a face like that, I'd be willing to wait even longer!]
Less than ten minutes after she started streaming, her viewer count was already over eighty-three hundred.
[Just a random person passing through, so is this pretty lady the host who helped Milk Tea deal with that scumbag?]
[She's not a real psychologist, is she? I think the host is better suited for fortune-telling!]
"Welcome, patients, to my livestream. I'm the psychologist Wen Ying. Please, call me Doctor Wen. I only treat patients; I don't tell fortunes."

One gift was worth a thousand yuan, so ten was ten thousand. When the viewers saw the spam, they instantly understood: the person at the center of the trending topic had arrived!
Rose Milk Tea: [Doctor Wen, I'm here to thank you. These gifts are just a small token of my appreciation.]
Afterward, Rose Milk Tea explained the situation to Wen Ying. She and her husband were divorced, and her lawyer had managed to recover eighty percent of her parents' settlement money. The remaining twenty percent had already been spent by her ex-husband.
Even though the story was trending online, Milk Tea felt it was only polite to tell Wen Ying personally.
[Don't you worry, Doctor Wen. I'll never let myself be blinded by love again! For a woman, the only true path is to focus on her career and love herself!]
After Rose Milk Tea left, Wen Ying got back to business. "Any patients who'd like a consultation, please send a request to connect. There are only two slots available today."
The words had barely left her mouth when she was flooded with the sound of connection requests.
Wen Ying casually accepted one of them. A man in his thirties appeared on the screen, his nickname was [Brother Zhu Loves Food].
The instant they connected, he sent a gift worth one thousand yuan.
"Hello, host. I'm a streamer myself, though probably not as famous as you are."
Brother Zhu smiled at the screen. He was a new mukbang streamer who'd been at it for half a year but only had a little over three thousand followers.
'It's so hard to get famous these days!'
'And yet this Wen Ying attracted tens of thousands of followers after just one stream, and her current live viewer count is already at twenty-eight thousand!'
'Isn't this the perfect opportunity?'
"Patient Zhu, please call me Doctor Wen. I will cancel the consultation for anyone who connects with me and doesn't address me as Doctor Wen."
Wen Ying stared at the camera, her expression serious.
'She knew what these people were thinking, but if she didn't stream under her psychologist title, that damn system wouldn't recognize her reputation value and give her the rewards!'
Although the man was inwardly scornful of Wen Ying's rebuke, he apologized awkwardly. "My apologies, Doctor Wen. It's a professional habit."
[Don't apologize, 'patient.' Your scheming is so loud I can hear it from another country! Aren't you just trying to mooch off our Doctor Wen's popularity?]
['Patient,' hahaha, now that's the spirit!]
[Doesn't everyone know that we're all patients in Doctor Wen's stream?]
[Oh no, I seem to have accidentally gotten sick!]
Having been called out, the man didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he admitted it freely.
"I did want to ride this wave and do a little advertising for myself. Everyone, feel free to follow Brother Zhu. I definitely won't let you down!"
Watching the man who was so eager to advertise, Wen Ying couldn't help but sigh. "Patient Zhu, don't be in such a rush. Since you've come to my stream, it must be fate. You've already paid for the consultation, so let me take a look at your psychological issues."
Brother Zhu was dumbfounded. 'I've made it perfectly clear that I just paid for some ad time,' he thought. 'Why is she still so committed to this act?'
