Volume 3 Chapter 22: I Love You, But My Little Brother Sneezed
That… that guy…
After finishing reading her brother’s little essay, Lin Lin put the diary down and turned her head away. For a moment, complicated feelings echoed in her heart.
Ah… how should she put it…
The two of them really were an awkward pair of siblings.
Sure enough, her memory wasn’t wrong. That guy had been very well-behaved when he was little.
The two of them were just suffering from late-stage “middle-school syndrome,” that’s all.
Even so, today he still stood up for her.
Little brother…
Maybe she had misunderstood him. Maybe he didn’t dislike her that much after all.
But what about her?
What had she ever done for Lin Yu?
Lin Lin let out a long sigh as she closed the diary.
This was enough reading for now. These memories were probably not that important anymore.
People have to look forward, right?
She gave a bitter smile, turned around, left the room, took a shower, got dressed, then went back to her own room. She leaned back in her chair and rested for a bit.
Ah—after forcing herself to shake off the urge to completely give up, Lin Lin adjusted the camera and started the stream.
Today’s stream title was—
【DESTROY STINKY DOGS!】
Ding—very quickly, viewers began to flood into the stream.
【Nice, Ari-chan is live!】
【What does this title mean? Is Ari-chan going on a killing spree today?】
【That’s right! Tonight we go nuclear! Gun in hand, follow me—】
【Hey hey hey, is it really okay to say that with a level-50 badge?】
“Um… well…”
Lin Lin rolled her eyes and spoke weakly.
“Good evening, everyone. Uh… what was it again… oh right. Your Vampire Girl, ahh~, has arrived!”
After that lazy introduction, the sleepy voice of the little vampire left the chat completely stunned.
【Wow, she’s already brushing us off, huh?】
【Is this the ‘I give up’ version of the vampire girl?】
【Little Vampire: ‘Yeah yeah yeah.’】
【The intro is lazy, but that yawn sounded kinda sexy~】
“Aww, hearing you say that really hurts my feelings.”
Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks. On screen, the little vampire also flapped her wings unhappily.
“I just ran into some… small annoying problems, so I’m feeling a bit down right now.”
【Annoying problems? Did your parents find out about your plan to elope?】
【Couldn’t it be that your boyfriend dumped you?】
【Feels less interesting than being blackmailed by some old guy, honestly.】
“What are you people even talking about…?”
Lin Lin was speechless. These people were insane.
“Alright, alright, I’m not explaining anymore. Explaining won’t help anyway. In short, tonight, I’m very angry, and I want to vent. I’m going to vent hard!”
【Little Vampire, scold me! Scold me hard to vent your anger!】
【Just one question, does tonight have any special venting content? If not, I’m going to watch Xiao Ye instead.】
【Wrong! Ari-chan is the best! Anyone who goes to watch the catgirl sing will be removed by us Sweet Pears!】
“Huh? What? A catgirl is singing?” Seeing that comment, Lin Lin froze.
Who would have thought that one day, because she felt so stressed, Lin Lin would take the initiative to pick a fight?
“We must check her stream—hard!”
The vampire girl immediately pulled a serious face, her eyes turning sharp. She decisively clicked into the catgirl’s stream. Before the other side noticed her, she softly reminded her own viewers.
“Shh~ keep it down. Don’t tell her I’m here. Let me watch the catgirl’s stream quietly~”
【Honestly speaking, Ari-chan’s livestream is really immersive.】
【I’m already getting nervous.】
【If any “little black pear” dares to leak secrets, I’ll lead one hundred thousand little sweet pears to cyber-attack them!】
“Ah—no, no, that’s not okay! We can’t just cyber-bully people!”
Lin Lin quickly waved her hands, but the chat immediately replied…
【Streamer, wake up, you don’t even have 100,000 followers.】
【Aren’t Sweet Pears the type of fans who say, ‘Streamer, go fly free, if something happens you deal with it yourself’?】
【Correct. On the cyber-bullying battlefield, Sweet Pears surrender first.】
【The streamer seems to have too much self-awareness.】
“I…”
Lin Lin was speechless. Wow. Where is Brother Dog? Brother Dog, come save me!
Alright, family, let’s look at Gao Ye’s stream in the distance.
Lin Lin stayed in Gao Ye’s livestream for a while, watching her chat casually from time to time.
At first, Lin Lin wanted to observe carefully and see how Gao Ye, who could be considered a senior in the virtual streamer world, ran her stream. Maybe she could learn something.
But…
After a while, the vampire girl couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Why does it feel like Gao Ye isn’t actually that good at streaming?
It’s kind of boring. The stream is just some small talk and singing now and then. The singing is pretty good, but when she chats, it always makes people feel sleepy.
There’s still quite a gap compared to the big top streamers Lin Lin used to watch.
Ah… Lin Lin didn’t notice it before, but after thinking this way…
Does she herself also have the same problem?
When you’re inside it, you can’t see it clearly. As an outsider, it’s easier to notice. When she only watches herself, she can’t see the gap between her and those top streamers.
Hmm…
Just as Lin Lin was thinking, Gao Ye’s stream suddenly received a Super Chat message.
A big spender donated 100 yuan and left a song request.
【Cat girl, can you sing a confession-song medley? I really want to hear a sweet girl sing~】
“Eh? A… a confession song?”
Gao Ye blushed a little. She wanted to refuse, but the person had already donated, and…
She had been in a pretty good mood lately.
“Ahem, alright then~”
The cat girl nodded and said, “Then I’ll sing. A confession song… um… which one do you want to hear? Or should we follow the trend? How about singing ‘Love You’?”
【You’re a bit late to the trend!】
【It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ve wanted to hear it for a long time, Xiao Ye!】
【You haven’t uploaded a cover recently anyway. Sing a part, clip it, and post it. Maybe you’ll gain more followers.】
“That makes sense, hehe~”
Gao Ye showed her cute little fang and started singing.
“If you suddenly sneeze, that must mean I’m thinking of you
If your phone wakes you up late at night, it’s because I care
I often wonder if the things you say have another meaning
I really want to believe, but I can’t stop doubting
In your heart, am I the only one?
Love is me always bothering you
Ho baby, say a little more sweet words, look at me a little more
Show a little more, so I can really see
Oh bye, say a little less, I want to be with you for more than one day
Give a little more, so I can willingly love you~”
She actually sings pretty well.
Listening to the cat girl’s cute voice, Lin Lin suddenly felt it was very sweet.
She even almost forgot about the mischievous personality of the person behind the model. It just felt… really nice.
“Achoo—!”
Suddenly, a loud sneeze came from her younger brother’s room.
Eh?
The girl quietly glanced at his room, then turned her head back to look at the singing cat girl.
Hmm…
What’s going on here?
