Volume 1 Chapter 58: The Little Brother Who Broke In During the Stream
“Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—!”
As the bedroom door was knocked on again and again from outside in a steady rhythm, the girl completely panicked.
She turned her head, took two deep breaths, then quickly muted the microphone, stood up in a hurry, and ran to the bedroom door.
On the screen, what the viewers saw was Little Vampire Girl panicking for a moment, then muting herself and completely freezing in place.
With the person behind the character gone, the 2D avatar could only stand there without moving, which looked a bit creepy.
The viewers in the livestream room all heard the knocking just now, and then saw the streamer suddenly run away.
The scene definitely had some “show effect.”
Gao Liang held his breath, staring at the screen in confusion. At the same time, the comment section had already exploded into heated discussion, all focused on one question.
What did Little Vampire Girl go do?
【Holy crap, I’ve seen this kind of plot on that red app!】
【What, a fan pretending to be a delivery guy broke into the streamer’s home? Which lucky guy got inside?!】
【Damn, take me with you! Ah—no, I mean I’m going to protect Ari-chan!】
【Why do I feel like… this is the streamer’s little boyfriend?】
【So what did the streamer actually go do?】
【At least this proves Ari-chan doesn’t live alone. That’s not okay…】
Cough, cough…
Gao Liang coughed awkwardly a couple of times and tried his best to keep order in the comment section.
These people, he knew they were just joking, but this was getting way too wild.
It was totally normal that Little Vampire Girl didn’t live alone. She was a student, after all. Living with parents was very common.
But…
Was she secretly streaming?
…………………
On the other side of the screen, Lin Lin rushed to the door in a mess. The person outside had already lost patience and pushed the door open, seeing Lin Lin bent over at the doorway, breathing hard.
“You…”
The little brother curiously looked into the room, then lowered his head and asked, “What were you shouting about in your room just now? It was really loud…”
“Huff—huff—you… you jerk!”
Lin Lin looked up at him angrily. “I seriously give up on you! Why do you care what I’m doing? I was just yelling a bit in my room, okay? I was letting off some steam! Is that not allowed? Go out, go out! If there’s nothing else, just leave!”
“Tsk… acting all weird.”
The little brother rolled his eyes. “Did you forget who helped you calm things down online last time? Seriously, where’s my payback? Mom and Dad told us to clean the balcony. I can’t do it alone.”
“Yeah yeah, I know, I know.”
The girl just wanted to send him away as fast as possible, nodding again and again. But when he handed her a cleaning cloth, she finally realized what was going on.
“Ah… wait…”
Cleaning the balcony was no easy job, especially since their balcony also worked as a storage area. A lot of stuff was piled up in the corners, making it especially troublesome.
If she really went to clean, she would definitely miss the deadline and fail to turn in her work.
“Uh… no, no, I can’t. I have something to do…”
The girl said this awkwardly. Lin Yu frowned, then took a step into the room and walked straight toward his sister’s desk.
“Hey, hey, hey?! Don’t go in there! I—I—I… that’s my privacy! Privacy, you idiot!”
Lin Lin hurried to stop him, but Lin Yu’s steps were firm. Today, he had to see what on earth his sister was always shouting about in her room.
Could it be… adult books?
Lin Yu walked up to the computer and looked at it curiously. On the screen, he saw a big livestream app, a math test paper, and a Little Vampire Girl.
Uh…
The little brother scratched his head. “So this is… an online class?”
“Get out of the way! Stop looking around!”
Seeing that the Little Vampire Girl on the screen was starting to move strangely because the two of them were messing up the motion tracking, Lin Lin quickly closed the laptop screen and shoved her brother to the side. Only when they were far enough away from the camera did she stop.
“Uh…”
Lin Yu scratched his head again. Seeing his sister’s eyes filled with tears, so wronged she could barely keep them open, he quickly waved his hands.
“Um… I didn’t mean to do it. I was just curious about what you were doing.”
“Waaah—! You… just you wait!”
The girl’s eyes were watery with tears, and in her mind, she was already planning to stuff caterpillars into his drawer.
It wasn’t that she cared that much about her privacy. It was just that…
Streaming as a VTuber, how should she put it…
Maybe because of her old otaku habits from her past life, she still felt that letting her family know about this was… really, really embarrassing.
Phew. Luckily, this guy didn’t seem to watch VTubers. He probably didn’t know what she was do—
“You’re streaming, right?”
Pff—
Lin Lin died on the spot.
“Uh… this…”
She wanted to argue, but the moment Lin Yu saw how nervous she looked, he knew he was right.
Finding out something this interesting, he looked at Lin Lin with curiosity and said, “I didn’t know you were a streamer. That sounds pretty cool…”
“Cough, cough. Just a small streamer. No viewers. Just talking to myself.”
Lin Lin looked away guiltily. Lin Yu nodded. “Really? So all this stuff, you bought it with money from streaming?”
“Mm… yeah.”
Her clean and direct answer cleared up his doubts. He nodded and said, “Hey, speaking of that, isn’t it popular lately to stream using an anime character? What was it called… virtual streamer? Sister, are you one of those too?”
“Uh…”
Lin Lin was silent for a moment, then shook her head awkwardly and lied, “Um… actually, I’m a study streamer.”
“Huh? Like those people who stream studying for the college entrance exam?!”
“Yeah, yeah, exactly! The kind where you set up a camera, point it at the desk, and write and study under a desk lamp. Hahaha. Alright, alright, hurry up and go clean. Your big sister still has to study!”
“Hey, don’t rush me! What platform do you stream on? What’s your username? Want me to follow you? You—”
Before Lin Yu could finish, Lin Lin pushed him out with all her strength. She quickly shut the door, then suddenly remembered something, opened it again, looked at the helpless Lin Yu standing outside, and threw the broom at him.
With a loud bang! the door closed.
Lin Yu stood in the hallway, picked up the broom, and smiled helplessly.
This girl, seriously.
So secretive. He thought she was doing something weird, but it turned out she was streaming.
That was actually kind of interesting to him.
Hmm…
And if she could make money from streaming, then Lin Lin… might actually be pretty impressive?
He scratched his head and thought.
What exactly changed that gloomy girl into this?
Could it be…
Because of that man?
