Volume 2 Chapter 27: What Kind of New-Age Telecom Scam Is This?
This name was really bad. It immediately made Gao Liang think of something else.
Especially, it brought back his deep fear of a certain “little sister” type. A scary and troublesome creature.
Gao Liang basically had PTSD when it came to Gao Ye. When they met in person, it was still okay. If she was a bit annoying, he could just think of her as being too energetic.
What was truly scary was… Even when she wasn’t around, she still seemed to exist everywhere in his life.
That image of her sticking to him like a tail and shouting “Brother~ Brother~” had already become a childhood trauma for him.
So when he saw the account name “Xiao Ye Official”, which looked very similar to Gao Ye’s name, his heart suddenly tightened.
Terrible thoughts filled his mind, and then—
He watched as the little vampire girl clicked into that person’s livestream.
At the moment the blonde cat-girl on screen started talking, Gao Liang even held his breath.
But—
Once she spoke, hearing that unclear, slightly lisping voice that was overly sweet, he immediately relaxed.
Thank goodness, thank goodness…
He comforted himself in his heart.
Not Gao Ye. Not Gao Ye.
Who would have thought that the little vampire girl also had a friend called “Xiao Ye”?
Well, it was probably just a coincidence. The character “Ye” is pretty common, and this was just an online name anyway. Online names use that word even more often.
This person was probably just a real-life friend of the little vampire girl.
Although this could be a clue to finding out the little vampire girl’s real identity. After all, if you can’t find one account, you might find two or three by following connections. He didn’t plan to do that anymore.
It would be disrespectful, and honestly, he wasn’t interested anymore.
Thinking back, his earlier desire to investigate was probably just curiosity.
Watching the two girls tease each other in the livestream was actually quite fun.
“Meow~ Sister Ari-chan, what’s tonight’s stream about? Why isn’t the top supporter sending gifts? Not very professional, huh?”
Gao Ye covered her mouth and laughed softly at the screen. Lin Lin pouted and said,
“I’m not that talented. I can’t sing. Tonight’s topic is love advice. Do you have any problems? I can help you!”
“Ohhh! So that’s it!”
Gao Ye nodded and kept speaking in a cute, high-pitched voice.
“Then help me check my love luck for next month!”
Lin Lin twitched her mouth helplessly, but then her eyebrows rose as she thought of a good idea.
A moment later, the little vampire girl stood up, picked up a decorative bell from the desk, and shook it toward the camera while chanting.
“Spirits of heaven, spirits of earth, show the love luck of the demon delinquent girl! Ha—shoo—!”
Hey, hey, hey! Those last sound effects were totally made up, and they didn’t even match the chant!
And who exactly is the “demon delinquent girl” supposed to be talking about?!
Gao Ye rolled her eyes, but the chat burst into laughter.
【Wait, Xiao Ye is usually a delinquent type?】
【So she’s a delinquent girl? I thought she was a factory girl.】
【Hold on, is there really a difference?】
【Honestly… not as good as the little vampire girl~】
“Alright, the result is out. Your love luck next month is… hmm… you might run into some trouble, but because of that, you may also meet someone nice~”
After finishing her “ritual,” the little vampire girl sat back down and explained seriously. Gao Ye thought about it and found the result surprisingly reasonable.
But…
“Wait… how did you calculate that?” Gao Ye asked with interest. “Tarot cards? Or that bell?”
“Spirit possession! Automatic writing! I’m already possessed by a half-immortal right now. Uru uru aba aba~”
The little vampire girl immediately rolled her eyes and started twitching, making Gao Ye feel speechless. She then said,
“Hey, who even believes in this old superstition stuff? Love luck and things like that, are there really idiots who still believe it?”
“Then why did you ask?! I already told you I give love advice! Advice, do you understand? It means telling you what to do when you have problems. It’s not fortune-telling!” Lin Lin muttered helplessly.
After hearing this, Gao Ye frowned a little. Sister Lin Lin really didn’t know how lucky she was.
Heh, love advice, huh?
Someone who still hasn’t won over my big brother after all this time is giving advice? Fine then, let me ‘advise’ you two a bit~
“Ahem, okay then. Sister Ari-chan, I actually do have a question I want to ask you~”
“Uh… you can ask.” Lin Lin hesitated for a moment, but still let her speak.
Even though she felt this girl definitely wouldn’t ask anything serious, tonight’s topic was exactly this. If nothing else, she could treat it as show content.
“Well, um, it’s not my own problem. I’m asking for a friend~”
“Wait a second. Let me ask first, this ‘friend’ you’re talking about… is it actually you?”
Lin Lin blinked. Gao Ye smiled and shook her head.
“Nope~ It’s really a friend of mine~”
“Hmm… okay, go ahead.”
Lin Lin thought about it. She didn’t really know many of Gao Ye’s friends anyway. Ah, whatever. Let her ask.
“So, here’s the thing. I have a friend who’s a rich guy. His family has some money, but he’s super slow and clueless. There’s a girl around him. She recently became a streamer, but he doesn’t know that. Do you think I should tell him her room number and let him send some gifts or a heart to the girl he likes? Hehe.”
“Uh…”
At first, Lin Lin seriously tried to think about the situation.
But very quickly, she understood the hidden meaning behind those words.
Th-this…
Isn’t this ‘rich guy’ clearly Gao Liang?!
No, no, that can’t be right. How could Gao Liang like her? At most, he just has some weird tastes.
And now Xiao Ye is clearly teasing her too!
Thinking of this, the little vampire panicked.
“What are you talking about? No! You absolutely can’t tell him!”
“Huh? Why not? If you can help two people get together, that’s a good thing! And besides, isn’t it nice to have a rich guy sending gifts?”
“But, uh…”
“But what? Look, that girl’s livestream room is so empty. No one is even sending gifts. Wouldn’t it be good if the rich guy went to send some?”
“But… but… absolutely not!”
As they kept talking and seeing how embarrassed the little vampire looked, the live chat started guessing wildly.
【That girl is Ari-chan herself, right?】
【Spread it—Ari-chan has been noticed by a rich guy.】
【Spread it—Ari-chan is about to marry into a rich family.】
【Spread it—Dog Bro’s position is in danger!】
【Dog Bro, wuwu, my Dog Bro!】
When he saw the last comment, Gao Liang frowned.
He really hated the feeling of being compared to someone else.
Maybe out of competitiveness, suddenly—
【System message: User “Watching V Makes You a Dog” sent 5 Little Radish cheers!】
【Holy crap! Dog Bro!】
“Wow…”
The two girls, whose argument was suddenly interrupted by the donation, couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
After a moment, Gao Ye covered her mouth and laughed quietly, then said with a meaningful smile.
“See? The rich guy has arrived already~”
【Wow, what kind of modern telecom scam is this?】
【Ari-chan is totally dragging things out, right?】
【Dog Bro, you’re so confused!】
【LOL, I’m starting to think the rich guy is fake. Dog Bro is the real rich one.】
