Volume 2 Chapter 10: Can Can Need!
Between people, is there really no basic trust at all?
Why is it that once someone learns a secret, they must use it to threaten others?
Little Sister, please calm down a bit, waaah~
In the living room, only Lin Lin and Gao Ye were sitting on the sofa. Sister Wenmei had gone back to dealing with the livestream viewers.
Even though she didn’t really understand what was going on, it probably wasn’t about revenge, right?
Thinking that it would be better if the two kids talked things out, and that once everything was said clearly there would be no problem, Du Wenmei let them sit together and stay alone for a while.
And then…
Even though she was very unwilling, Lin Lin was now sitting next to Gao Ye. She stared at Gao Ye’s small feet wrapped in white stockings while feeling nervous inside.
Ah…
Wait a second. Last time she met Gao Ye, she helped Gao Liang act out a scene.
Which means…
In Gao Ye’s mind, she…
She was still Gao Liang’s girlfriend.
Then wouldn’t that make her Gao Ye’s sister-in-law?
Ahem. Even if she was a fake girlfriend, right now she could act serious, right?
Yes, show the authority of a sister-in-law!
“Ahem!”
Lin Lin suddenly cleared her throat and spoke with such confidence that even Gao Ye was surprised.
“Actually! I already told your brother about me being a virtual streamer! He knows about it, so Xiao Ye, don’t think you can threaten me with this! I’ll have your brother scold you!”
Hehehe~
After saying that, Lin Lin even laughed proudly.
Right? It’s totally normal for a girlfriend to be a virtual streamer and for her boyfriend to know. How could she be threatened over such a small thing~
What a perfect excuse, hehe~
“Oh, really?”
Gao Ye glanced at her and noticed Lin Lin’s guilty expression.
“But Sister Lin Lin, the way you acted just now didn’t look like someone who wanted me to know you’re a virtual streamer.”
“Th-That’s because… seeing you was too… too exciting.”
Lin Lin stubbornly replied, but the excuse was not convincing at all.
Gao Ye covered her mouth and laughed quietly. Then she took out her phone and pretended to believe her.
“Oh, I see. I was thinking about keeping Sister Lin Lin’s secret, but now it seems unnecessary. Still, since we rarely meet, I’ll send my brother a message and ask him to come pick Sister Lin Lin up later~”
Ah this…
Lin Lin immediately lost confidence and hurried closer. On Gao Ye’s phone screen was clearly the chat with Gao Liang.
The message, not yet sent, said,
“I ran into your virtual idol girlfriend. Come to XX Apartment to pick her up!”
“Don’t!”
Lin Lin shouted and waved her hands in panic.
“Well, um, there’s really no need to bother him. I can go home by myself just fine! He’s probably very busy. Maybe he’s talking about some project worth millions right now. Let’s forget it, hahaha, forget it!”
“He’s just a student and hasn’t inherited the family business yet. How could he be dealing with projects worth millions?”
Gao Ye smiled and looked at the nervous Lin Lin.
“Could it be that… you don’t want him to know that I met you?”
“Uh…”
“You sneaked out without telling him?”
“Well… um…”
“Actually, he doesn’t know that you’re a virtual streamer, right?”
“Ah… h-he… he knows…”
Lin Lin’s eyes wandered as she spoke, but she still stubbornly argued. After hearing that, Gao Ye nodded.
“Okay, then I’ll send the message~”
“Don’t—!”
The moment Lin Lin grabbed her arm, she knew it…
She had lost.
Waaah… she was completely no match for this devil-like little sister. Her dignity as a ‘sister-in-law’ was also…
Totally gone. Waaah.
“Oh come on, Sister Lin Lin~”
Gao Ye helped Lin Lin up, put her phone away, and explained,
“Ahem, I was just curious. If you honestly answer a few questions, I won’t send the message, okay? Maybe I can even help you keep it a secret~”
Uh…
Lin Lin looked up and stared at her with doubt. After a long pause, she slowly said,
“Y-You… go ahead and ask.”
“Okay, first question. Does my brother really know you’re a virtual streamer? Well, it’s not that important. I feel like even if he knew, he wouldn’t say much. Just answer honestly, Sister Lin Lin…”
“Mm…”
Lin Lin originally wanted to keep lying, but since Gao Ye didn’t believe her before, lying again felt pointless. So in the end…
She nodded weakly.
“He doesn’t know. Please help me keep it secret. I don’t want him to find out…”
“Mhm, that makes sense. It could be a little embarrassing.”
Gao Ye’s eyes moved slightly, then she handed her phone to Lin Lin.
“Sister Lin Lin, which account is yours? Follow me, okay~”
This…
Lin Lin stared at the phone and fell into deep thought. Her finger shook badly over the screen, so much that Gao Ye almost thought she had shaky hands.
I don’t want to reveal my identity. I really don’t want to reveal it~
“Oh? You don’t want to say? But we’re going to be in the same virtual idol group in the future. Sooner or later we’ll know, right? Well, let me show you my account first~”
As she spoke, Gao Ye tapped her avatar and opened her profile.
Xiao Ye Official.
Lin Lin saw the 6,000 followers and opened her mouth wide.
Ah…
So jealous.
She looked again at Gao Ye’s avatar. She casually opened a video, and on the screen was a blonde cat-girl adjusting a microphone.
The moment she spoke, Lin Lin got goosebumps all over.
So… cute… and very “squeezed” voice…
It was clearly a voice trained on purpose. Soft, a bit unclear, not sounding like the real voice at all, but very cute, with a slightly proud tone.
This is…
“Kousaka Kirino?”
“Ahem, it just looks a little similar~ When you mention Kirino, I think of a famous actre… ahem… Stop, stop talking about it~”
Gao Ye waved her hand, then looked at Lin Lin with a smile.
Her lips curled up as she said, “Might I humble myself to request a viewing of your esteemed credentials?”
“Can you stop saying ‘let me see yours’ in such a fancy way?”
“It's just a bit of fun, okay? Calm down! What’s your account name anyway? If you don’t tell me, I’ll go ask Sister Wenmei!”
Gao Ye fully dropped the act and stared straight at Lin Lin.
“I already showed you my account. Fair trade, Sister Lin Lin. Fair trade!”
“Ugh…”
Lin Lin had no choice. Since it had come to this, she could only quietly type three words on the screen.
‘Ari-chan’
Then she searched it…
Gao Ye excitedly leaned over and saw that Lin Lin had opened a third-party clip of her content, then tapped the video and started playing it.
