Volume 1 Chapter 20: Let Me Analyze Your Desk Mate!
Dog Bro…
What kind of message did this guy send me?
Hmm… without realizing it, I’m actually a little excited.
That’s strange. Why is that?
Lin Lin put one hand on her chest and gently clenched her fist, feeling that strange heartbeat.
But she couldn’t explain why.
Could it be…
No, no, impossible! I’m a tough guy!
Besides, I’ve never even met Dog Bro in real life.
Then there’s only one possible reason left.
Yeah…
It’s because he sent me money.
And he was my first viewer. Plus, his ID is very eye-catching, so I remembered him.
That’s all.
After all, even though many chat IDs look familiar, the one Lin Lin can remember right away is still him.
Dog Bro, “Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog.”
So… what did he send me in private messages?
Hmm…
Could it be about life problems?
Probably not. Dog Bro was so generous before, sending me gifts so easily. He feels like a rich guy. Can a rich guy really have life problems?
Lin Lin felt that if she could lie in bed every day and casually send other streamers a “Super Rocket” like it was pocket change…
She would already be living the dream.
What life problems could there be? I’d just stay at home watching streams, playing games, and watching anime all day.
Cough cough…
Why are my goals in life so low?
Oh…
So this is the difference between me and rich people, huh? I understand now.
Rich people must also have their own troubles.
Alright then… I’ll help him take a look.
Help, what do I do? I don’t even have the courage to open the message now. I feel like my perspective might not be big enough.
Hmm…
In the end, Lin Lin still nervously clicked on the private message. At the same time, the chat became lively again. Seeing Lin Lin stare blankly for so long, everyone started guessing what she saw.
【Damn, who sent my wife lewd pictures? You scared Ari-chan into silence! Come out!】
【Very reasonable guess that it was the person above. Classic “thief crying thief.”】
【Anyway, it wasn’t me. I sent “Ari-chan smells nice and feels soft~”】
【Hey! You copied me! 100% plagiarism!】
【So what did the streamer actually see? Who sent the message? Say something, streamer!】
“Cough cough…”
Seeing the chat getting too excited, Lin Lin quickly stopped them and glanced at Dog Bro’s private message.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Ari-chan, are you still in school? I recently ran into a kind of strange desk mate, also a girl. I can’t figure out what’s going on with her. Can you help me analyze her?】
Huh?
That’s… actually pretty normal?
It seems his situation isn’t that different from mine after all?
Eh?
The girl suddenly became interested. Thinking about how she also had a “strange” desk mate, she got excited right away.
This is good, this is really good. Many people watching the stream are probably students. Even if they are already working, they must have gone through student life before.
Who hasn’t met a weird desk mate at least once?
This topic is perfect. The popularity of the stream will definitely go up a lot.
Alright, alright…
Lin Lin casually copied Dog Bro’s message and pasted it into a TXT file.
But very quickly, she frowned and realized something wasn’t right.
The main problem was…
Dog Bro didn’t give any details.
He only said he had a strange female desk mate, and then nothing else.
How are we supposed to discuss that?
Uh…
Just in case, Lin Lin replied to his private message directly and asked clearly.
【Ari-chan: Dog Bro, can you explain this in more detail? Or come talk to me in the chat. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to analyze your problem.】
Gao Liang froze for a moment when he suddenly received the reply.
To be honest, he didn’t really want to talk about this with others. He only sent the message because he happened to see Ari-chan’s post today and worried that she was still new, with not many fans. If she didn’t receive even one private message, wouldn’t that be awkward?
So he decided to send her one.
Now it seemed he had worried too much, since Ari-chan’s fans were actually quite active.
But at that time, he really thought for a long time about what to send.
First of all, he couldn’t talk about family matters. They involved business issues and could easily be recognized. Also… he simply didn’t want to talk about them. They were stressful.
So what was left was probably only his strange desk mate, who was a bit like a little kitten, Lin Lin.
He felt a strange kind of worry about her, but didn’t know how to explain it. To be honest, even he himself hadn’t figured it out yet. His thoughts were a mess.
In the end, he could only write two short sentences and send them to Ari-chan.
Who knew Ari-chan would actually choose this topic?
That made things a bit tricky.
He thought about it. If he explained everything through private messages, he could organize his thoughts better, but it would take a lot of time.
For a livestream, that would be pretty bad. If the streamer doesn’t interact with the chat for a long time, the stream goes cold.
And now, because Ari-chan was waiting for his reply, the stream was almost stuck.
In this situation, stopping to carefully organize his thoughts wasn’t a good idea. It would be better to just talk in the chat, saying whatever came to mind.
That way, it would be fast, and other viewers could join the discussion in real time. The effect would be better.
Hmm…
For the sake of the streamer he liked, he decided to talk about it in the chat.
Though… it felt a bit unfair to Lin Lin, since he didn’t ask for her permission.
But he wouldn’t say her name. And this matter involved him too, so it should be fine… probably.
After all, he was just a little concerned about that kitten-like desk mate.
So he replied,
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Sure, I’ll explain it in the chat. That way the stream will be more interactive.】
【Ari-chan: Great, great, thank you, Dog Bro!】
After getting his agreement, Lin Lin nodded happily and then spoke to the screen and the audience.
“Cough cough. Actually, this private message was sent by my top supporter, ‘Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog,’ Dog Bro. Cough cough. He recently met a rather strange female desk mate. What exactly is going on? Even I don’t know yet, so let’s let Dog Bro explain it himself!”
After saying that, Lin Lin stared at the chat area. The viewers also became interested right away. After all, words like “top supporter” and “female desk mate” easily make people imagine things.
So…
【My guess: Dog Bro got stuck with a love-crazy girl.】
【I’ve also had super annoying desk mates before!】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Cough cough. Actually, my desk mate and I were only seated together recently, but… I feel like she’s not very friendly toward me.】
“Hm?”
Lin Lin smiled slightly. “Oh? This is getting interesting. My gossip soul has awakened. Come on, Dog Bro, tell us more. Let me analyze why she’s being unfriendly to you~”
