Volume 2 Chapter 8: The Streamer Is Not a Lesbian! The Streamer Really Is Not a Lesbian!
After waiting for a short while, the live comments slowly started to appear.
【Little sister? Since when did Hki have a little sister? Explain yourself!】
【What the heck, there’s a little sister? Where? Let me see!】
【Little sister, hehe, fresh and juicy little sister~】
At first, the comments were very excited. Lin Lin felt shy seeing them, while Du Wenmei happily hummed a little tune and introduced:
“Ta-da~ The one next to me is the new little sister I caught from outside! Her ID is Ari-chan. She’s also a VTuber on P Station. Today she’s helping me out~”
After saying that, Du Wenmei pointed at Lin Lin. Lin Lin shyly responded,
“Um, hello everyone. I’m Ari-chan. Today I’m doing a collab stream with Sister Princess Hydrogen. Um… I’m not very experienced, so please be patient with me.”
【Wow, Ari-chan’s voice is so nice! But where the heck is she?】
【Wait… don’t tell me… the stick figure next to you is Ari-chan’s model?】
【Uh…】
【Hold on, I think it really is.】
【No, Ari-chan, what happened to you?! Ari-chan!!】
The last comment had a “Little Sweet Pear” badge, so that person clearly recognized Lin Lin’s voice.
Ah…
Even though she was using her little vampire voice.
Du Wenmei also noticed Lin Lin’s sudden change in voice. Well, she had already realized before that Lin Lin’s normal speaking voice was different from the voice in her stream clips.
At first, Wenmei thought it was just the difference between real life and recorded video. But now—
It really was a different voice!
Lin Lin looked at the “Little Sweet Pear” badge and awkwardly waved her hand.
“Haha… since I’m streaming at Sister Princess Hydrogen’s house today, it was sudden and I wasn’t prepared. So I’m temporarily using this… strange stick-figure Live2D model. Haha, don’t mind it.”
“Mm-hmm~ Actually, Ari’s model is very cute! Let me show you!”
Du Wenmei opened Ari-chan’s homepage in the browser. Then she realized—
It was completely empty. Not a single video.
Cough, cough. She almost forgot she had watched marketing clips before.
So she opened one of the clips and played it for the viewers. Princess Hydrogen’s fans immediately got excited and started saying—
So cute! Want to lick!
【Ahhh, white hair! I’m becoming her only fan now!】
【It’s a little girl! Baby, let’s get married! Princess Hydrogen? Who’s that?】
【You’re level 100 with a Princess Hydrogen badge. Stop acting crazy! See my Little Sweet Pear badge? I’ve been Ari-chan’s only fan for a long time!】
【Ari-chan Ari-chan Ari-chan Ari-chan Ari-chan!】
Looking at all the “cheating” comments flying across the screen, Du Wenmei felt like she was losing face. She shouted at the stream.
“Are you all seriously cheating on me right in front of me? Waaahhh!”
“Hahaha…”
Lin Lin gently patted the upset Wenmei, then looked at the screen carefully.
“There’s really a Little Sweet Pear here. That’s amazing. And Sister Wenmei’s stream is so popular. I’m so jealous~”
“Mm-hmm~”
Hearing that, Du Wenmei instantly recovered. She jumped up and coughed twice.
“Ahem, I’m alive again! So, today’s stream content is this!”
She picked up a package from the table and showed it to the camera, though the viewers couldn’t really see it clearly.
“A few days ago, when I was shopping online, I saw this item. I thought it was interesting, so I bought it to show everyone!”
She began to open the package. Lin Lin watched curiously, wondering what it could be.
Soon, Du Wenmei took out a…
Smart wristband?
Sister Wenmei shook the bracelet and introduced it:
“That’s right, it’s this bracelet. Yali, you can see it, right? After you wear it, it can measure the streamer’s heart rate. I’ll show the data on the big screen. Let’s see if you guys still call me a ‘hyperthyroidism streamer’ all day!”
After saying that, Du Wenmei put on the bracelet. She shook her head and signaled to Lin Lin.
“Ari-chan, come on, you read the comments!”
“O-okay…”
Lin Lin nodded quickly. While wondering in her heart what “hyperthyroidism” even meant, she started reading the live comments.
“This is a trick from ten years ago. If you have no content, just bite a lighter on stream…”
Uh…
After reading that, Lin Lin turned to look at her. Sister Wenmei’s mouth twitched. Suddenly, she grabbed the lighter beside her and was about to do it.
“Fine, let’s go!”
Luckily, Lin Lin quickly reached out to stop her, shouting while holding her back, “Calm down, calm down!”
“Cough, cough!”
Wenmei put down the lighter and took a deep breath.
“I was joking, haha~”
“But your heart rate just went up by twenty or thirty…”
“Cough…” Du Wenmei looked away guiltily and said, “Keep reading, keep reading…”
“Oh…”
Lin Lin nodded and looked at the comment section again.
“Streamer, what’s your job?”
“My job is being a streamer.”
“Streamer, where do you stream?”
“I stream at my own home.”
“Streamer, are you live right now?”
“No, actually this is a replay.”
“Streamer, are you…”
“Alright, that’s enough!” Du Wenmei suddenly interrupted her and knocked on the table. “You guys, can’t you save me some face in front of the little sister? What’s wrong with you? Are we really just brothers now? I swear you guys are unbelievable!”
【I also want to support Princess Hydrogen only, but doesn’t she not like men?】
【Miss Hydrogen, aren’t we good brothers? Why are you trying to flirt with me?】
【My silent-only-support bride…】
【When the streamer talks, she has such a strong countryside accent. I really can’t hold my laughter.】
Lin Lin looked at Sister Wenmei, who was getting quieter and quieter, and felt a little sorry for her. She was also a bit surprised at how fierce Sister Wenmei became while streaming. It was completely different from her usual gentle big-sister image. But at the same time, it didn’t feel fake.
Because…
Right now, Du Wenmei was wearing slippers and loose shorts, sitting in a very unladylike posture.
She really looked like she was just being her true self.
Cough…
Helpless, Lin Lin had to find another comment to change the topic.
She randomly picked one and read it out loud.
“Streamer, are you a lesbian?”
Uh…
As soon as she finished reading it, Lin Lin felt something was wrong. Du Wenmei’s face turned slightly red, and she quickly explained:
“Uh, I’m not a lesbian. I’m really not!”
While saying that, she even glanced at Lin Lin.
But Lin Lin shivered.
Because…
The two of them looked at the screen at the same time.
Heart rate —
+5, +5, +5, +5…
Goodness, it was like an idle game. It just wouldn’t stop going up!
“Cough, cough, I’m really not! Really not!” Du Wenmei shouted. But the more she shouted, the more emotional she became, and her heart rate jumped even higher.
Soon, the comments were filled with messages like:
【Ari-chan, run!】
【Ari-chan, call the police!】
【Ari-chan, protect yourself! Be careful of the strange big sister!】
Du Wenmei lowered her head, blushing for a long time. Then suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was like she had found a lifesaver. She quickly said to Lin Lin,
“Um… Ari-chan, go open the door!”
Lin Lin nodded and walked quickly to the door. While wondering who it could be, she opened it—
At the door, she froze. So did the girl standing outside.
Th-this isn’t…
Gao Liang’s little sister?
The two of them blinked at each other.
Then—
“G–Gao Ye?!”
