Volume 4 Chapter 4: Teasing Secretly During the Livestream
On Lin Yu’s side, ever since his older sister kicked him out of her room, he had been feeling bored.
After thinking for a while, he went back to his own room and wanted to play games. But when he remembered that he might soon be able to play VR games, he suddenly lost interest in the PC games he used to play every day.
By the way, how did his sister get enough money to buy two sets of VR equipment? He remembered those things were quite expensive.
Could it be…
Is livestreaming really that profitable?
Lin Yu didn’t really believe it, but he was still curious about his sister’s job. While thinking about it, he opened P Station’s livestream page and found the Virtual Streamer section. He wanted to see what style other virtual streamers had.
As soon as he opened the platform, he received a notification:
【A streamer you follow has started streaming!】
The streamer shown was…
Of course, it was Xiao Ye Official.
Lin Yu didn’t follow many people on his account.
Huh?
Gao Ye… has started streaming?
His heart suddenly beat faster. He took two deep breaths and decided that today he wouldn’t play games or watch random videos. He would just watch Gao Ye’s stream!
As soon as he entered the livestream room, he saw a blonde catgirl happily chatting.
“Hehe, recently my singing skills have improved a lot. Well… sadly my luck in battles hasn’t been very good. Um… forget it, I won’t talk about it. It makes me sad. I feel like I was betrayed from both inside and outside.”
【Is Xiao Ye getting ready to unlock dancing as a new talent?】
【Yes! I want to see that too!】
【Catgirl dancing, hehe~ so cute.】
“What? That’s not the kind of dance I meant.” Gao Ye shook her head and denied what the chat was saying. Then she sighed and said, “It’s… ah, never mind. Let me see…”
She looked carefully at the chat and suddenly noticed a system message:
【System Notice: User “xiao11111” has entered the livestream room.】
Hmm?
That ID looks a little familiar.
Even though it looked like a very typical new account name, Gao Ye clearly remembered this strange ID.
Pfft… isn’t this Lin Yu’s account?
Wow, I only told him a few days ago, and he really came.
The blonde catgirl cleared her throat softly, smiled slightly, and raised her voice:
“Ah, welcome, Xiao… Five-Ones, to the livestream! Welcome, welcome~ Xiao Ye looooves~ you~ oh~”
While smiling, she made a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest. Her cute look made Lin Yu feel both surprised and excited.
Ah… Gao Ye…
Her voice right now is really sweet.
Before, he only thought that Xiao Ye sounded a bit different during livestreams compared to normal conversations. But now, hearing her speak in a spoiled and playful tone, it felt like a lazy little catgirl was whispering teasingly beside his ear. Her slightly soft and unclear tone made his heart itch.
Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed. He didn’t know whether Gao Ye knew that he had come to watch her stream. Maybe she was just giving her usual greeting to a new viewer.
Although… Gao Ye did say she would remember his ID.
But his ID was just a string of numbers. It shouldn’t be easy to remember.
After thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Does she say that to everyone?
Just as he was still struggling with these thoughts, some of the regular viewers in Xiao Ye’s livestream began to protest in the chat.
【Protest! Protest! The streamer has never welcomed me in such a sweet way!】
【Is the catgirl in heat or something? Th-that welcome was so… so sexy.】
【This account looks like a small side account. It doesn’t even have a badge. Even I, as a Captain member, never got such a warm welcome. Bad review, bad review!】
【Damn, could this be her little boyfriend’s account? Refund my money!】
【Hehehe, actually, if I ignore the ID and pretend the catgirl is greeting me, it feels pretty sweet hehe~】
【Hey, the person above, wake up!】
【You really love watching virtual streamers, huh? I’m laughing so hard~】
“Ahem, it’s not that serious, right? I just felt like it for a moment~” Gao Ye raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Aren’t I usually like this too? I always warmly welcome new viewers into my stream~ Well, since my stream doesn’t usually have that many people, I’ve always been very friendly, okay~ Meow.”
【When have you ever? Normally you just say ‘welcome’ and that’s it!】
【Yeah, yeah! What was that ‘love you~’ about?!】
【Even after I became a Captain member, I’ve never heard you speak that sweetly to me, waaa.】
【So annoying! I’m going to register a new account too and make the catgirl say ‘love you~’ to keep me here!】
【After all that talking, did the chosen one already leave the stream?】
“Oh, that’s actually an important question.” Gao Ye noticed this key comment in the chat. With a slightly playful tone, she spoke into the microphone as if calling out to someone far away.
“Hmm, since you’re all saying that, this lucky viewer whose name was mentioned, are you still in my livestream? Everyone seems to have strong opinions about you~ Why don’t you come out and explain yourself?”
Ah, this…
Lin Yu suddenly started to panic.
H-he just got called out directly. What should he do?
Should he send a message in the chat?
If he does… what should he even say?
Should he just say that he is Lin Yu?
No, no, no! If he does that, it might reveal Gao Ye’s real identity.
Then…
Is there any other way? Ah…
Lin Yu felt awkward and didn’t know what to do. He even started to suspect that Gao Ye had already recognized him and was just teasing him in front of all the viewers.
So maybe the best way is…?
After thinking for a while, many news stories came to his mind, like those rich fans who spend a lot of money just to make a female streamer happy.
He didn’t have that much money.
But he really wanted to make Gao Ye happy.
He looked at a small line of text at the top of the livestream screen: “Become a Captain to request a song…”
He didn’t want to request a song.
He just wanted to send Gao Ye a gift.
Maybe… this one!
Support Gao Ye’s streaming career!
Yes!
Lin Yu searched around. The tipping interface on P Station was really full of different options, and it took him quite a while to figure it out.
Meanwhile, the catgirl who was streaming was still awkwardly waiting for Lin Yu’s reply.
This…
Why hasn’t he said anything for so long?
Gao Ye’s mouth twitched slightly. She felt something was wrong. An awkward silence slowly filled the livestream room. For a moment, she felt so embarrassed that she almost couldn’t stand it.
Why… why isn’t it done yet?
At least send a message…
Lin Yu, don’t tell me… don’t tell me he doesn’t even know how to send a chat message?
N-no way, right?
Isn’t this a basic function on almost every regular video website now?
