Volume 1 Chapter 22: Dog Bro and the Tsundere Little Girl?
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: The way my desk mate looks at me… it always feels like there’s killing intent. When I’m just sitting in the classroom, I suddenly feel a cold stare. It’s… it’s pretty scary. But I really don’t remember doing anything to hurt her. Somehow, I feel like she just started hating me for no reason.】
After reading Gao Liang’s message, Lin Lin also started to feel something was off…
“Offended the little girl without knowing why?”
Hmm…
Lin Lin held her chin and thought seriously about the possible reason behind this.
What’s going on here…
How could someone hate another person for no reason? Could it be that she simply doesn’t like him?
But even then, that shouldn’t turn into a look full of killing intent, right? Could Dog Bro be overthinking it?
Ahem…
Still, it wasn’t impossible. After all, when someone really wants to “kill” you with their eyes, it’s hard to hide. Strong hostility is easy to feel.
As for those sudden cold stares, maybe he was just being stared down by the little girl’s death glare.
But why would it be like this?
Back to the same question, why?
Lin Lin shook her head. She felt that he must have left out some important details, so she shared her own thoughts.
“Well, I actually had a desk mate too. Ahem, I really disliked that guy, even though he was a handsome jerk. But I had reasons to dislike him, and those reasons were pretty complicated. Dog Bro, you… you should think again. Did you miss some details? It doesn’t make sense to have such deep hatred for no reason.”
【The streamer looks so professional when she analyzes things!】
【Streamer, can you tell us why you hated your handsome desk mate?】
【Ari-chan, are you sure it wasn’t your male desk mate who hated you?】
【Hey, don’t say the truth out loud! Leave Ari-chan some dignity!】
【LOL, what is this, simp who couldn’t get love, so love turned into hate.】
“What are you talking about?!” Lin Lin angrily slapped the table. What nonsense, how did this turn into her liking Gao Liang, failing to get his love, and then hating him because of it?!
Nonsense! I was the one whose love got stolen—boohoo!
My little girl—waaah!
Eh… when you put it that way, doesn’t it kind of sound like love turning into hate?
But the one I loved wasn’t that handsome jerk.
Trash, trash, trash!
Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks and explained unhappily, “Stop talking nonsense! I—I—I really hated my desk mate! The reasons are complicated. Anyway, he’s the main culprit! I’ll tell you all about it some other time!”
Hmm…
Why does it feel like I’m already breaking out in cold sweat after saying that?
Ahem, actually, I already told you all the reason why I hated that guy before.
It’s just that…
I’m a bit embarrassed to tell the viewers that I’m now sitting next to my mortal enemy as desk mates.
Hmm…
While the girl was still feeling a bit troubled, Gao Liang suddenly sent another message in the chat.
He thought about it for a while, but really couldn’t figure out what he had done to make Lin Lin unhappy. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and explain.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Nothing really happened. Hmm… it’s pretty strange. I guess it might just be because we sit together, so there are some small awkward moments. But nothing big ever happened, so it shouldn’t be that bad, right? And also… sometimes she’s cute…】
“Cute?”
Lin Lin touched her chin and frowned. Feeling killing intent over small things, but sometimes acting cute?
Could it be…
A tsundere?!
Hmm…
Suddenly, this felt very possible. After all, it was really strange, hating someone for no clear reason.
“Could it be that kind of childish mindset? The so-called dislike or rejection is actually just a way to get your attention? After all, being ‘sworn enemies’ kind of… sounds a bit cute too?”
Ahem, of course, she and Gao Liang were not like that!
They were purely enemies. Lin Lin was the kind who wished she could run him over with a truck tomorrow, completely one-sided hatred.
【So this is the legendary tsundere? Love it.】
【From Dog Bro’s description, doesn’t she sound more like a yandere? Those killing looks sometimes~】
【Wooo~ a tsundere plus scheming little girl? The streamer really gets it~】
【Stop defending her. Maybe the streamer is that type too, just looking in the mirror.】
“……”
“Ahem, I already said I’m a popular streamer! Why are you still calling me tsundere? Tsundere isn’t top-tier anymore, okay? I’m totally not tsundere!”
Lin Lin put her hands on her hips, pointing at the screen as she complained. This reaction got a lot of praise from the chat.
【Wow, that really feels right. The streamer is amazing!】
【Hiss~ tsundere white-haired little vampire, nice~】
【Please insult me!】
【Damn, what kind of pervert is the one above? Count me in!】
Uh…
It seemed she had accidentally hit some very strange “cute points” for the audience. But the little vampire girl didn’t want to be some sadistic loli, so Lin Lin quickly changed the topic and asked Dog Bro.
“Hey, so what kind of hot-and-cold behavior are we talking about? Ahem, just tell me about the ‘hot’ parts!”
Hearing this awkward question, Gao Liang felt that something was a bit off, but he still seriously tried to explain.
If he had to talk about times when Lin Lin was warm to him… actually, there were quite a few, even just today. For example—
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: She suddenly starts talking to me for no reason, and her tone is really friendly…】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: But sometimes I don’t react fast enough, or maybe she feels my response isn’t warm enough? Then she stops talking to me again.】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Sometimes she looks very hostile toward other girls who try to get close to me, but when she’s sitting with me, she also seems awkward…】
Uh…
Like this?
Lin Lin frowned. The more she listened, the more it felt like…
This is totally a tsundere!
She wants to be friends and has feelings for her desk mate, but she’s too shy to say it. She wants his attention, so she talks to him warmly, but then gets embarrassed and hides it with coldness.
Or maybe she thinks, “Dog Bro is such a blockhead. Why doesn’t he notice me?”—and gets angry.
That’s the real reason for the hot-and-cold behavior~
And she even gets jealous. That clearly screams tsundere!
The one feeling awkward isn’t Dog Bro, it’s herself. She’s too shy and bad at expressing her feelings.
How can there be such a silly girl in the world, and she’s even a pretty little girl?
Geez, that’s so cute~
Wow, Dog Bro is actually really lucky to meet a girl who feels like a character straight out of an anime. This…
No, she has to help this little girl. At the very least, she should help her become friends with the desk mate she likes~
“Hehe, listen to me, Dog Bro. This little girl is definitely a tsundere! Trust me. Hmm… maybe directly asking to be friends is too straightforward. You could… take it slow. Hmm… start by teasing her a bit, joking around, maybe even lightly messing with her?”
