Volume 3 Chapter 33: Dog Bro Says Okay!
【Ari-chan: I was just curious where you’re from, hahaha…】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: I see…】
Gao Liang thought for a moment. In the end, he felt that it probably wasn’t that simple. Maybe Little Vampire Girl wanted to say something else.
In that case…
Maybe it was better to just tell the truth. If there was something he could help with, he didn’t want to miss the chance.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: I’m also from Huadu.】
Huh?!
What a coincidence!
Lin Lin took a deep breath in surprise. She didn’t expect Dog Bro to also live in Huadu!
That made things much easier~
Ask him out. Get the job done.
Nice!
Lin Lin started typing again… but wait, before that, she needed to think about how to explain things naturally.
Right, she couldn’t let him know her real purpose. The task clearly said she could only make the request in person. So the key now was to meet him first.
She should act surprised and say she wanted to get to know him!
Yes, that’s the plan!
【Ari-chan: Wow! What a coincidence! Dog Bro, why didn’t you tell me before!】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Because you didn’t ask.】
【Ari-chan: Ahem, that’s great then! Dog Bro, do you also live in the city area?】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Yes.】
【Ari-chan: Hmm~ I see. Then… how about we meet in person? Like a real-life meetup?】
Ah, wait…
Lin Lin suddenly stopped typing and began to think.
Was her tone a bit too casual?
A little too playful?
Hmm…
Maybe a little. Forget it, she should change her style.
While Lin Lin was thinking about what to say next, Gao Liang on the other side was also holding his phone and thinking deeply.
Little Vampire Girl… wants to meet him in real life?
This…
Didn’t feel like something simple.
Gao Liang hesitated. Should he go? Or not?
After a long silence, he saw another message from her.
【Ari-chan: I just want to treat you to a meal, to thank my top supporter in person.】
【Ari-chan: Dog Bro, do you have time? We can meet somewhere with many people. It’s time for me to return the favor. And we can get to know each other better, just as friends.】
Gao Liang looked at her messages and frowned slightly. He was very unsure and couldn’t make a clear decision.
Go, or not?
He had always liked this cute streamer. In some ways, she was a bit like his classmate Lin Lin. But…
A person’s online image and their real personality are not always the same.
Gao Liang understood this very well. He had seen people who acted completely different in public and in private, so different that others could never imagine it.
He didn’t want to think badly of her. He was willing to believe that Little Vampire Girl just wanted to make more friends and meet someone she had talked with a lot online.
But what if… she actually wanted something more from him?
Or what if she was afraid he would stop supporting her, so she wanted to use some common “contacting fans” methods that some other streamers use?
What should he do then?
He wasn’t so devoted that he would join any “top fan” activities. His life didn’t only revolve around supporting a streamer.
While he was still feeling doubtful, Little Vampire Girl suddenly sent another message.
【Ari-chan: Ah… sorry, Dog Bro, maybe that was too sudden.】
【Ari-chan: I just realized we’re both in Huadu, and I felt really surprised and happy, so I asked without thinking. If you don’t want to meet, it’s okay…】
【Ari-chan: Sorry, sorry! Actually, I’m also shy about showing my face…】
Maybe he was overthinking?
Looking at her messages, Gao Liang suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Maybe he had made things too complicated in his mind.
Well… meeting once should be fine. Just making a friend.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: We can meet.】
At the same time…
A small comedy scene was happening inside the café.
The brown-haired girl leaned forward, pulling at the sleeve of the girl with glasses. The girl with glasses was laughing loudly while holding the brown-haired girl’s phone high in the air.
“Hey, give it back, Sister Wenmei! You grabbed my phone when I wasn’t paying attention and even sent random messages! What are you doing?!”
“Hahaha, I won’t give it back~ Lin Lin, I was wondering why you were daydreaming for so long just now. So you were planning to catch a rich supporter~”
“N-No, I wasn’t!” Lin Lin shouted with a red face. “I just wanted the big supporter to help me solve the 3D Live problem!”
“Hahaha, but he doesn’t seem very willing to meet you. Maybe he’s afraid that when he sees you in real life, he’ll be disappointed~”
Wenmei laughed so hard that she almost had a stomach cramp. Lin Lin quickly grabbed her phone back, feeling both shy and angry.
“I’m not the kind of person who disappoints others when they see me in real life! How could he be disappointed?!”
“Well, what if he doesn’t look very good?”
Du Wenmei stopped laughing and looked at the girl in front of her with a teasing smile.
Hmm…
Lin Lin frowned and thought for a moment. She really hadn’t considered that question.
She wasn’t trying to start an online romance or anything. What did it matter what Dog Bro looked like? She just wanted to complete the task.
“It doesn’t matter,” Lin Lin shrugged.
“Well, what if he’s very overweight? Or very self-centered? Or maybe—”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Lin waved her hands. “That has nothing to do with me. I just want to treat him to a meal and thank him. I don’t care what he looks like. He sent me so many gifts. It’s normal to make friends. There’s no other possibility!”
After she said that, the café’s lucky cat walked over and meowed at her twice, as if agreeing with her.
It made Lin Lin almost want to salute it seriously.
“Well then~ since that’s the case, I’ll help you bring your top supporter out,” Du Wenmei said with a mischievous smile.
Lin Lin was confused. If he didn’t really want to come, how could Sister Wenmei make him agree?
Then she looked at the three messages Sister Wenmei had just sent, and she took a sharp breath.
“Isn’t this just giving him a way to refuse and not come?!”
“Oh no, no, no. These sentences are very clever,” Du Wenmei said, shaking her head with a smile.
“First, we assume that he doesn’t want to come. Now think about it, why would someone who sends so much money to a streamer not want to meet? There must be a reason! That puts pressure on him. If he doesn’t want the streamer to misunderstand him or think he has some problem, then he will definitely come.”
“Second, look at my last sentence. He can meet the real person behind Little Vampire Girl~ The cute and mysterious beauty behind the virtual image. Isn’t that attractive enough?”
Lin Lin nodded, half believing, half doubting. She still felt it wasn’t reliable. Would this really work?
Right then, a reply came from Dog Bro.
“Dog Bro says… okay!”
