Volume 2 Chapter 16: Isn’t This Lin Lin’s Top Fan?!
Gao Liang looked at Lin Lin helplessly, but the girl was holding onto him tightly.
The half-asleep girl was still mumbling her lines. Gao Liang forced a smile.
So… is she awake, or not?
“Ah-woo—” the girl cried again. “I was only in my early teens! Do you know how much mental damage a huge slap can do to a kid that age? Waaaah…”
“Don’t talk like you were an elementary school kid, okay? And I really only pinched your cheek a few minutes ago…”
“Waaah, it’s all your fault! I just… threw up a little in your car, and you slapped me hard! Waaah—!”
“You got the order wrong. I pinched you first, then you threw up.”
“Then you pinched me until I threw up! Waaaah—!”
The girl kept rolling around on the bed for a long time. Gao Liang had no idea what to say anymore. There was no way to communicate, Lin Lin was clearly just talking to herself.
After a while, seeing that Lin Lin's Mother was about to come back, Gao Liang didn’t want Lin Lin’s strange words to be heard by her family. He quickly and gently covered her mouth.
“Shh, quiet!”
This skill, like calming a small child, actually seemed to work on Lin Lin.
At least, very soon, the little one calmed down. She slowly relaxed her arms and legs, and then gradually drifted back into a confused, sleepy state.
After a while, Lin Lin's Mother walked into the room with some medicine to help her sober up. As soon as she entered, she said to Gao Liang,
“Student Gao, thank you for taking care of Xiao Lin. I cut some fruit in the living room. Please go have some. I’ll give her the medicine.”
“Ah, okay…” Gao Liang nodded. But thinking that it was already late, and that Gao Ye and the others were still waiting outside, he said politely,
“Thank you, Auntie, but it’s getting late. I need to take my sister home first.”
“Oh… alright!” Lin Lin's Mother called out, “Xiao Yu, walk Student Gao out!”
……………………
At the door, Gao Liang declined Lin Yu’s offer to walk him further and told him to go back and help take care of Lin Lin instead.
He walked alone back to the car and saw Gao Ye sitting sideways on the car door, staring at him with an unhappy face.
Gao Liang really didn’t understand it. She was clearly the one who made the mistake, so why did she look so confident?
As for Gao Ye, she felt like she was the one taking the blame.
“Stupid Gao Liang! So slow! Stupid Gao Liang! So slow! Stupid Gao Liang! So slow!”
Facing a human broken-record machine, Gao Liang shook his head helplessly and sighed. “Go sit in the back seat. I’ll sit in the front passenger seat.”
“Dream on! I just cleaned the back seat, and it still smells!”
Gao Ye looked very annoyed. “Why do I always have to do all the dirty and tiring work? You flirt with girls, and I suffer!”
“Then I’ll sit in the back, and you take the front seat. Okay?”
After saying that, Gao Liang got into the back seat, pulled the door shut, and said coldly, “Drive.”
……………………
The car slowly started moving. Along the way, the only sound was the engine.
The brother and sister in the car didn’t talk at all. Or rather, this kind of cold silence was already normal for them.
However, even though both of them were playing with their phones, Gao Ye’s heart was far from calm.
In fact, she had learned too many secrets today.
Sister Lin Lin was her brother’s fake girlfriend. She was also a virtual streamer. All these interesting facts made Gao Ye feel very excited.
Even though she had promised to keep it a secret, knowing all this inside information without doing anything about it was really hard for her.
After pretending to play on her phone for a while, Gao Ye saw Gao Liang take out his phone through the rear-view mirror.
She waited a bit, guessing that his attention was on his phone, then suddenly turned her head and said casually,
“By the way, stupid Gao Liang… have you been paying attention to the virtual streamer clip lately?”
“Huh?”
That sudden, out-of-nowhere question really caught Gao Liang off guard.
Right away, he pretended to be clueless. “Uh… virtual streamers? What are those?”
“I mean those streamers who use anime-style characters to do live streams~ There are lots of them on P-site, right? Stupid Gao Liang, haven’t you noticed?” Gao Ye continued to probe him.
Gao Liang didn’t really want to admit anything. The main reason was that the person in front of him would probably use this to make fun of him. So he replied simply,
“Oh, is that so? I really don’t know much about that. Um… why did you suddenly bring this up? Are you planning to become a virtual streamer?”
“Ah…” Gao Ye spoke with a bit of guilt. “I… I just thought you might like this kind of thing, so I wanted to recommend a few streamers I’ve been watching lately…”
“No need. I’m not very interested in that…” Gao Liang looked back at his phone. “And… why would you think I like that kind of thing…?”
“Tch. I wonder who it was that used to love anime so much.”
Her first attempt failed. Feeling annoyed, Gao Ye turned her head away, picked up her phone, and pretended to look at something while thinking.
Hmm…
Does this guy really have no interest at all?
That doesn’t seem right…
Ah, he doesn’t live at home anymore. I don’t even know what he does every day now.
Damn it!
How about a surprise move, go back and check what he’s been interested in lately?
Alright!
Without hesitation, Gao Ye suddenly turned around and rushed toward Gao Liang, then looked straight at his phone screen!
Hiss—
She sucked in a sharp breath.
Gao Liang quickly pulled his phone back, stuffed it into his pocket, and shouted, “What are you doing?! We’re in a car, behave yourself!”
“You… weren’t you just looking at a virtual streamer’s page?!”
Gao Ye pointed at Gao Liang’s nose, her finger shaking. “And… and it was… it was…”
It was Sister Lin Lin’s virtual avatar!
No way… I didn’t see wrong, right? I definitely didn’t see wrong!
That profile picture, that ID, It was Ari-chan!
Hiss—
This…
Seeing that he had been exposed, Gao Liang’s face turned red. Feeling guilty, he said, “No, you saw it wrong…”
“Then take out your phone!”
Gao Ye straightened her face and stared at him seriously.
Stare—
She stared for a long time. Gao Liang felt that if he didn’t hand over his phone soon, this girl would probably just grab it herself.
That could be dangerous…
So, with some reluctance, Gao Liang took out his phone and briefly showed her the screen.
Gao Ye immediately snatched the phone, scrolling up and down carefully.
It really was Sister Lin Lin!
She tapped into the livestream room, and then—
She sucked in another sharp breath.
This…
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog】
Big brother’s ID… this…
Isn’t this the same top supporter from that clip she watched before?
Sister Lin Lin’s number one supporter?!
Huh?!
