Volume 2 Chapter 28: Energetic Boy Lin Lin-chan!
“It’s not a scam, hey!”
Lin Lin muttered helplessly at the live chat. Her attention had been completely pulled away by the comments.
After a while, she suddenly remembered that she still hadn’t thanked Dog Bro.
Come to think of it…
Dog Bro is really generous.
Uh…
Lin Lin felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head, then the little vampire spoke shyly:
“Um… th-thank you, Dog Bro, for the gift. Dog Bro is so generous. Dog Bro is awesome!”
【Watching V Makes You a Dog: It’s nothing, just for fun.】
Gao Liang smiled to himself, thinking that now that Xiao Ye Official probably wouldn’t say things like “No one is sending gifts in Sister Ari-chan’s stream” anymore.
Thinking about how he’d just smacked the face of a VTuber whose name was so similar to his younger sister’s, Gao Liang couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of smug satisfaction.
Of course, what he didn’t know was—
Somewhere else, the blond cat-girl had completely lost control the moment she saw the gift message. She was holding back her laughter so hard that tears almost came out.
Pfft—hahahahaha!
After a burst of inner joy, Gao Ye covered her mouth and collapsed onto the table. Her whole body was shaking as she tried to hold it in. After holding back for so long, she even worried she might hurt herself.
But the more she thought about it, the funnier it became. What should she do, pfft pfft pfft—
O-okay, okay.
After laughing for a long time, Gao Ye finally stopped. She wasn’t sure if her hints had worked, but at least the show effect was great.
That’s enough for tonight. It looked like her big brother still hadn’t figured out who she was. She should log out first… otherwise she might laugh out loud and give herself away.
Holding her stomach, she got up and forced herself to speak calmly into the mic.
“Ahem, um… h… no, uh, I’m going to start singing now. Stop chatting, stop chatting. Sister Ari-chan, I’m off, I’m off~”
With that, Gao Ye left the livestream.
Watching her leave in such a hurry, and with that annoying smug attitude, Lin Lin felt a bit unhappy.
Pouting, she also closed Gao Ye’s stream. At the same time, a little doubt appeared in her mind.
What was that girl doing tonight… really?
Was she just messing around?
She had only just learned my identity, and she already couldn’t wait to interact with me like this. This girl…
At this rate, I’ll end up exposing myself to her sooner or later!
Tsk—
The girl even started thinking about how to silence her… uh, no—how to make her keep it a secret.
But after thinking for a long time, Lin Lin still had no idea.
Not only that, her livestream flow had also been interrupted.
She continued streaming for a bit longer, but it became kind of boring, and she couldn’t find any good topics.
After some time passed and she saw it was about time, she decided to end today’s stream.
“Alright, let’s stop here for tonight. Thank you everyone for the gifts you gave Ari-chan. We… hmm, I probably can’t stream tomorrow night. Maybe the day after tomorrow or the day after that. I’ll post an announcement. Bye bye~”
【It’s only 8 p.m.!】
【Isn’t it already 11? Cough… never mind. Good night, Ari-chan~】
【Ah, I really want to watch Ari-chan’s stream tomorrow too.】
【How am I supposed to live without Ari-chan~】
【Watching V Makes You a Dog: Good night.】
Hmm, Dog Bro is pretty warm and kind.
【Ding dong, this livestream has ended. Reward: 2K popularity points.】
After logging off, the girl played with her phone for a while. But her attention wasn’t really on the screen, she was thinking about the art competition.
That was also the reason she decided not to stream tomorrow night. She needed to find a place to study some art basics.
Self-study?
Even though her memory was good, relying only on that probably wouldn’t be enough to reach an award-winning level in such a short time.
She needed someone to teach her.
Tomorrow, she would go check out some nearby art training centers.
Ah… come to think of it, why doesn’t the system ever refresh any items that are useful for this kind of thing?
I have so many popularity points, but nowhere to use them!
Lin Lin stared unhappily at the item refresh screen. This thing was really torture. It only refreshed four items a day, who knows how long it would take to get something good?
Right now, its biggest use was exchanging cash items for real money.
Hmm…
After washing up, the girl lay back on her bed. She looked at the number of followers on her account, and little by little, she slowly fell into a deep sleep.
…………………
The next day
Early in the morning, Lin Lin suddenly jumped out of bed. She glanced at the phone beside her bed and immediately sucked in a sharp breath.
Oh damn! I overslept!
Early that morning, Lin Lin’s house was complete chaos.
No one knew what kind of magical day it was, but the entire family had overslept!
Luckily, even though they woke up late, there was still some time. If she rushed to school like crazy, she might not be late!
Uh…
Actually, maybe it would be better to just not make it and ask for leave.
Anyway, after clothes were flying everywhere and shoes were thrown around, Lin Lin grabbed a slice of bread in her mouth and rushed out of the house!
She ran straight toward the high school without stopping. Many students riding the bus to school clearly saw it.
Outside the bus window, there was a girl…
Running at the same speed as the bus!
Ahem. Of course, the reason she had such terrifying speed was because she used an item she had exchanged earlier for 1,000 popularity points.
Powerful Cow… ah, no—Powerful Human!
With the speed boost, the girl holding bread in her mouth quickly rushed into the classroom!
She didn’t crash into anything strange on the way!
Hehe~
She did a sudden stop at the classroom door, fixed her messy bangs that had been blown by the wind, and confidently stepped inside.
And then—
Bang!
“Ouch!”
“Huh?!”
Without looking up, the girl crashed straight into the chest of a boy who happened to turn the corner at the same time. The slice of bread in her mouth slipped out and fell with a plop. Thankfully, it only landed on her clothes.
“Oww—”
Pretending to be in pain, the girl looked up, thinking this felt like something out of a shoujo manga. When she raised her head, she saw Gao Liang looking at her in surprise.
“Are you okay?” Gao Liang immediately squatted down to check on her.
Lin Lin rubbed her head, sat on the floor, and looked up at him with a speechless expression.
Hey, why is this guy here?
To be more accurate…
Her confusion was actually related to herself.
After watching the little vampire’s stream last night and listening to that “love expert’s” advice, Gao Liang had been so excited that he even slept poorly.
That’s right, I must help classmate Lin Lin!
With that thought, he got up very early the next day and came to the classroom to wait for her.
But no matter how long he waited, Lin Lin didn’t show up. So he decided to go check near the door and see if he could spot her.
And then he “ran into” her.
Ahem…
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Lin picked up the slice of bread. Under the eyes of the other classmates, she said awkwardly, “I’m fine…” and went back to her seat.
Gao Liang also sat down beside her, quickly going over the little vampire’s words in his head.
Hmm…
Step one: casually bring up a topic during small talk…
“Ahaha, Lin Lin, the weather is really nice today…”
“I want to eat!”
“Huh?”
