Volume 2 Chapter 17: You Asked a Female Streamer Out for Tea?!
Hiss—
Wha…
How could this be?
Could it be… that big brother had already seen through Sister Lin Lin’s disguise?
That’s terrifying.
Sister Lin Lin was actually being played in big brother’s hands the whole time…
Seeing Gao Ye’s face turn pale from shock, Gao Liang was confused.
What’s going on? Is this really necessary?
It’s just watching a virtual streamer, right?
This… shouldn’t be illegal, right?
After feeling troubled for a moment, Gao Liang could only explain,
“I’m only following this one streamer right now… I haven’t really watched anyone else…”
“Mm…”
Gao Ye turned her head away, still not fully convinced, which made Gao Liang feel even more embarrassed.
Thinking about how Gao Ye could already contact Lin Lin directly, Gao Liang worried that if this little girl told her “future sister-in-law” about him watching virtual streamers, it might be bad. So he quickly added,
“It’s just because her streams are interesting, and… she once gave me advice on how to get closer to Lin Lin. That’s why I support her. We’re kind of friends.”
“W-What…?!”
Gao Ye’s mouth twitched. She pointed at the phone in disbelief, opened her mouth wide, and asked,
“She… guided you… on how to get close to Sister Lin Lin?”
“Yeah.” Gao Liang nodded naturally.
“Huh?”
Gao Ye’s brain completely froze.
W-What does that mean?
Sister Lin Lin guided big brother on how to get close to herself?
I helped someone chase… me?
This person… huh?
So big brother is actually being controlled by Sister Lin Lin?
A plan inside a plan? A trap inside a trap?
Oh no, oh no…
I don’t understand anymore.
Who is on the first level? Who is on the second level?
Anyway, I’m definitely stuck in the basement.
But then another question came up…
If Gao Liang teasing Sister Lin Lin was all planned by Sister Lin Lin herself, then…
Then why was she acting so wronged?
Eren Yeager, I knew at first glance you weren’t human, stop wearing a cute girl’s skin!
No, wait…
That’s not right.
Not right, not right, not right.
Let’s sort this out again.
First of all—
“Big brother, so… you don’t know who the real person behind this streamer is, right?”
“Yeah. Why, do you know her?” Gao Liang tilted his head in confusion.
Gao Ye quickly waved her hands. “Ah… no, I don’t.”
Then Gao Ye asked again, “So, the advice she gave you, what kind of advice was it? How did she know about you and Sister Lin Lin? Did you tell her?”
“Yeah, I chatted a bit with Ari-chan. I didn’t mention names or anything. She told me to tease my deskmate more, to create more chances to interact…”
“Pfft—”
Gao Ye almost laughed out loud. She barely held it in and forced herself to look serious.
No, no—if I laugh, I’ll give myself away…
Now it’s clear, these two people…
“So, she also doesn’t know who you are, right?”
Gao Ye asked again just to be sure.
Gao Liang nodded once more and said seriously,
“I already told you, I only see Ari-chan as a friend. I don’t want to interfere in each other’s real lives.”
“Mhm mhm, that makes sense. Big brother, you’re amazing. If it were someone else’s top supporter, they’d have asked her out for afternoon tea already…”
Gao Ye nodded again and again while holding back her laughter.
Seriously… these two people…
One of them doesn’t know that the other is the virtual streamer he has been watching for so long. The other doesn’t know that he is her number-one supporter.
No… no, wait…
I take back what I said about them not being a good match. These two are a perfect pair.
I—I must create a chance for these two to meet, hahaha~
“What’s wrong with you?”
Gao Liang felt that Gao Ye had been acting very strange since earlier, so he couldn’t help asking.
Their conversation had been jumping all over the place, and he still didn’t understand what was really going on.
Even though Gao Ye had praised him earlier, that tone of voice…
No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t sound sincere. It turned out his guess was right.
After a while, Gao Ye suddenly spoke again. She didn’t answer his question, but said something else.
“If it really doesn’t work, why don’t you ask that streamer of yours out to meet in person? Maybe she’s actually the type you like?”
“What are you talking about?!”
Gao Liang frowned unhappily.
This girl, does she really spend every day trying to find him a girlfriend?
Besides…
“Lin Lin is my girlfriend now. Are you telling me to cheat on her? Be careful, or I’ll tell Lin Lin!”
Gao Liang brought up his fake girlfriend, but Gao Ye couldn’t help laughing.
“Oh? But today Sister Lin Lin told me that she’s actually just a fake girlfriend you found to trick me~”
“Uh…”
Being exposed so suddenly, Gao Liang felt awkward. He wiped some sweat and said,
“She… she was just in a bad mood and talking nonsense. And besides… besides… why would I ask a streamer out anyway? Just because I spend money, I can disturb her real life? She never asked me to be her top supporter…”
“Heh, not many top supporters think like you~”
Gao Ye covered her mouth and laughed softly, then continued,
“But if you really asked her and said you just wanted to meet once, she probably wouldn’t refuse. After all, she still wants you to keep sending gifts to support her.”
“And besides…” Gao Ye raised her eyebrows.
“Today I heard Lin Lin say she doesn’t really like you that much. She finds you annoying. I don’t think you two have much hope. Why not change targets? This… Ari-chan might actually be more your type?”
“I already told you, I only like the avatar. I’m not interested in the real person!”
Gao Liang refused again, sounding like a proper gentleman, but he also seemed a bit down.
Lin Lin… finds me annoying?
I even pulled a prank earlier… Will she hate me even more now?
Gao Liang scratched his head anxiously.
Gao Ye, standing beside him, was so anxious she almost wanted to tell him the truth right away.
But…
If she said it directly, Sister Lin Lin would probably get angry at her for leaking secrets.
Honestly, wouldn’t it be great if they just met once?
The scene would be amazing. They might even confirm their relationship that day and hold hands that very night.
Forget it… let these two figure it out themselves.
Gao Ye rested her chin on her hand and thought.
Now she knew everything, she had a “god’s view” of the situation.
And she really wanted to match these two together.
But she couldn’t say it directly, or she’d leak secrets.
Her brother also seemed a bit slow in this matter and couldn’t catch her hints at all.
This…
How is she supposed to be a wingman?
Both main players have their radar turned off. If she wants to help them get together…
She can only say one thing. It’s going to be hard.
Soon, the car arrived at their grandparents’ house. Gao Liang reminded Gao Ye, “Don’t contact Lin Lin alone anymore. If you do, don’t make it like today. And… go to bed early.”
“Fine.”
Gao Ye rolled her eyes helplessly.
“You go back and watch your Ari-chan, then. Hmph!”
