Volume 3 Chapter 19: She Did Livestream Before
After that, because Lin Yu’s injuries were a bit serious, there was no way they could go back to school.
Except for Xiao Bai, who Lin Lin persuaded to go home, everyone else asked for leave. They called a car and went with Lin Yu to the hospital, at least to get him checked.
Don’t let there be any hidden injuries, little brother.
Sitting on a bench in the hospital, Lin Yu looked at Lin Lin beside him with a helpless expression. Her eyes looked… a bit strange.
“Why do I feel like you’re kind of expecting the doctor to find something wrong with me?”
“Cough, cough, how could that be?” Lin Lin quickly shook her head, then looked away guiltily.
Hey—does this guy have some kind of mind-reading power?
Ahem. She was just… a little worried. What if her little brother really had some internal injury and needed to rest for a long time? Then she would have to take care of him. Should she do it reluctantly, or should she make him beg his kind big sister first~?
Tsk~
That would feel great.
Just imagining Lin Yu’s usual tired, dead-fish eyes and lazy face, and then seeing him beg her to take care of him, made Lin Lin secretly happy.
If she kept thinking this way…
Ugh, why wasn’t Gao Liang the one who got beaten instead?
Lin Lin looked at him with some resentment.
Huh?
Gao Liang, who suddenly got glared at, looked completely confused.
Me…? What did I do?
Gao Ye sat beside everyone, staring at her phone. From time to time, she looked at Lin Yu’s injuries with worry, then quickly looked away again.
After sitting in the waiting area for a while, the doctor called Lin Yu in for an exam. After helping him inside, everyone sat down and waited.
Soon, Lin Yu walked back out by himself. It didn’t seem too serious. At least, he could still walk.
Just as Lin Lin thought that, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Luckily, Gao Liang reacted quickly and helped him up.
“Ah…” Lin Yu sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, “The doctor said it’s nothing serious. I just need to rest, keep the wound clean, and avoid infection. He also gave me some medicine… tsk—”
Lin Lin quickly waved her hand. Hearing his weak voice made her feel bad. And when she thought about how he fought someone for her, she felt even more guilty.
She quickly took the prescription from him and said, “I’ll go get the medicine!”
“I’ll go with you.”
Gao Ye, who had been awkwardly looking at her phone, put it away and walked over. Lin Lin was a bit unwilling, but she still nodded. The two of them walked toward the pharmacy counter together.
Left behind, Gao Liang and Lin Yu looked at each other. Gao Liang helped Lin Yu sit back down. The two sat facing each other. After thinking for a moment, Gao Liang suddenly spoke.
“You worked hard, Lin Yu. This time, Lin Lin will probably be very moved, right?”
“Her? Forget it,” Lin Yu turned his head away, sounding tired. “She’s pretty heartless. I didn’t help just to make her feel touched.”
Gao Liang smiled.
“You two are really interesting. You both say you don’t get along, but in fact, your relationship is pretty good. Hmm… it actually gave me a lot of ideas. I think I know how to answer now.”
The way Gao Liang said the last part, like he was talking to himself, made Lin Yu suddenly alert.
“What answer are you talking about?” Lin Yu asked. “Answering who… Lin Lin?”
“No, no,” Gao Liang quickly waved his hands. “It’s another friend. Don’t worry, I’m good at keeping secrets.”
“Another friend?”
Lin Yu looked at him, half understanding. Gao Liang nodded.
“Yes, a friend who does livestreams.”
“Eh? Livestreams?” Lin Yu blinked. “Come to think of it, Lin Lin also tried livestreaming before. What was it again… oh right, study livestreams? Like a virtual study room. How many people would even watch that?”
“Lin Lin did that too?” Gao Liang was genuinely surprised.
Because usually, Lin Lin seemed like a rather shy girl.
Someone like that… actually tried livestreaming?
“Eh, she was probably just too bored, or maybe she wanted to feel noticed online. You know Lin Lin, she didn’t have any friends before. But who would watch a study livestream anyway? It probably died out a long time ago.”
Lin Yu shook his head. After hearing this, Gao Liang thought quietly for a moment.
Hmm…
So that really happened.
………………
Why did this girl follow me?
Lin Lin was holding the paper her younger brother gave her, and behind her was Xiao Ye.
For a moment, Lin Lin even felt like she couldn’t walk properly.
Sure enough, what she feared came very quickly.
Behind her, Gao Ye suddenly spoke in a soft voice, “Sister Lin Lin, your brother was hurt pretty badly this time, right?”
“Yeah, it’s just so-so. He’ll probably need to rest at home for a few days.”
The girl answered in a rather cold tone, which left Gao Ye a bit confused.
This…
This really is his real sister.
Well, why did I even ask Sister Lin Lin that?
I’m supposed to be a firm couple shipper.
But right now, I don’t even have the energy to ship anyone.
Tsk. These two are clearly so interesting…
Sigh~
After Gao Ye lowered her head, Lin Lin also felt awkward.
Wait, why did it suddenly get so quiet?
Uh… did I sound too cold and make Xiao Ye uncomfortable?
Ah, this is troublesome.
Lin Lin was about to explain, but then she suddenly thought again.
No, wait! What did Gao Ye mean by that question?
Could it be… she really has feelings?
Then maybe I should just play the role of the evil supporting character a bit more. If I scare Gao Ye away now, it’s better than breaking them apart later, right?
As for my little brother…
He already got beaten up for my sake, and I still want to block his love life? That feels kind of terrible.
Lin Lin thought about it and felt that she really had to help her brother get revenge.
But…
This task is seriously difficult.
Compared to the previous tasks, solving questions, drawing, things like that. Those were mental fights. With my small body, I could still rely on my brain.
But this one…
This is straight-up real-life fighting. Challenging a martial arts gym. Pure physical combat.
Lin Lin’s expression slowly turned into one of deep doubt about life. She suddenly stopped and looked at her small body.
This… with this body, how am I supposed to fight people from a martial arts gym?
I’m not Bruce Lee.
Ugh…
Lin Lin started to worry. Even though this task didn’t seem to have any punishment, she still couldn’t swallow her anger.
Revenge! She had to get revenge!
Besides that, there was another big problem.
Damn it, aren’t I a virtual streamer? How am I supposed to livestream martial arts?!
Lin Lin couldn’t even imagine what that would look like.
“Sister Lin Lin? Sister Lin Lin?”
Without realizing it, the two of them had already reached the medicine counter. Gao Ye called her back to her senses. Lin Lin looked around, quickly nodded, and turned to the staff at the counter.
“Oh—uh, excuse me… do you sell energy beans here?”
