Volume 4 Chapter 29: One More Dangerous Fan
“Hurry up and tell me!”
Hearing the anxious voice of the girl on the other end of the phone, Yi Xiao’s assistant laughed happily and began to explain.
“Don’t rush, Xiao Xiao. I asked around. The woman with glasses you mentioned is quite well-known in a certain circle in Huadu. She often contacts people in that circle and knows many people. It was easy to find her. Guess what kind of circle she is in?”
“What circle…?” Yi Xiao clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Are you joking with me? Why are you playing guessing games at a time like this? Just tell me!”
“Sorry, sorry, Xiao Xiao.” Hearing that she was really getting angry, he quickly apologized in a humble tone. Then he continued:
“It’s the virtual streamer circle. Uh… I don’t know much about it. I just heard that she is a small but somewhat famous virtual streamer. Her name is Princess Hydrogen Hki. I searched for her, and there really is someone with that name. Her voice sounds quite similar.”
“Virtual streamer…?”
Yi Xiao frowned. She didn’t really understand. She had only heard a little about this before. She didn’t have a clear idea of what a virtual streamer actually was.
“Is that all?”
“More or less. Her real name is Du Wenmei. She lives in a cheap apartment. I heard she also formed some kind of virtual streamer group with three people in total. I checked. One is called Xiao Ye Official, and another is called Ari-chan. I’m not sure if the girl with the surname Lin is one of them. But since they are friends…”
“Got it!”
Yi Xiao couldn’t sit still anymore. She immediately sat up and turned on her computer, which she hadn’t used for a long time.
She was too nervous to slowly search on her phone. The computer was faster.
She quickly searched for Du Wenmei’s account. Sure enough, there was an account with many followers. It looked like a streamer.
Yi Xiao clicked on a video and watched it. She fell silent.
What is this?
A character that looked like someone from a comic was moving around on the screen, doing things that felt a bit meaningless.
This… this is a virtual streamer?
As expected, she didn’t understand live streaming.
Yi Xiao sighed helplessly and continued watching more carefully.
Just by listening to the voice, she quickly recognized it.
This was the voice of the woman who argued with her for Lin Lin that day.
Although it was slightly different, she could clearly tell. When people are emotional, they don’t hide their real voice well.
She took a deep breath. She felt that she had found the right person.
However, her goal was not Du Wenmei.
Her focus was still on Lin Lin.
An idol group?
Hah. Just a group of people playing around on the internet…
Yi Xiao looked down on them a little and opened their collaboration videos. She carefully compared them.
Yes, that day Lin Lin and Du Wenmei were sitting together. They could really be in the same group.
Especially when she walked close to Lin Lin that day, she seemed to hear words like “performance.”
Yi Xiao didn’t fully understand.
But when she saw the name “Xiao Ye,” she couldn’t help wiping some sweat from her forehead.
This account…
Could it belong to that girl, Gao Ye?
Hah. No wonder Gao Ye was standing so firmly on Lin Lin’s side this time.
So they had already debuted together?
This must be Xiao Ye, right?
She clicked on the video and listened.
But… it didn’t quite sound like her.
The voice sounded a bit forced and cute on purpose.
Then suddenly, she realized something.
She remembered how, when they were children, Xiao Ye often practiced using a fake voice.
She also searched for some clips where the streamer screamed in excitement…
As expected.
Yi Xiao showed a cold smile. She guessed right. Gao Ye…
She sighed and clicked on the last account, called Ari-chan.
Could this be Lin Lin?
Yi Xiao thought for a long time. She listened to Ari-chan’s voice on the screen. It sounded completely different from Lin Lin. She frowned.
Is this really Lin Lin? So strange…
After thinking for a long time, she picked up the phone again. She had not hung up yet. She gave her assistant new instructions.
“Ask people in that circle. Focus on finding out who Ari-chan is. Also… help me collect more information about this circle. I know nothing about it right now. If I want to find any weakness, I at least need to understand what these people are talking about.”
“It really is hard to understand…” the assistant said with a laugh.
Yi Xiao nodded and told him to handle it.
After hanging up, she began to carefully search through Ari-chan’s account and livestreams.
…………………………
Lin Lin probably would not know that, while she was still arguing with her rival, Ari-chan’s account had already gained one dangerous new follower.
But this weekend, Lin Lin did not care about that at all. What she cared about more was… being taken by her rival to practice otaku-style dance.
At first, Lin Lin wanted to buy many cute uniforms for practice. Later, she casually mentioned this to her rival. Gao Liang looked confused and asked her on QQ,
【Gao Liang: What? Why do you need to wear that kind of clothes to practice dancing?】
【Lin Lin: But don’t the dancers in otaku dance videos all dress like that?】
【Gao Liang: …】
【Gao Liang: We are practicing dance, not filming a video… And Lin Lin, it’s best not to upload videos online. People might say bad things at night!】
【Lin Lin: How little trust do you have in me?】
【Lin Lin: Hmm, then what should I wear? Don’t tell me… only tights are enough?】
【Gao Liang: …】
【Lin Lin: Of course I would wear clothes on top!】
【Gao Liang: Ahem. Actually, there are professional training clothes. I’ll buy a set and bring it to you.】
【Lin Lin: So I can just wear my normal clothes when I come to meet you, right?】
【Gao Liang: Yeah. I’ll come pick you up!】
After this conversation ended, Lin Lin let out a sigh of relief, but she also felt a little disappointed.
Was it because she could not wear cute clothes?
She quickly shook her head, put together a simple outfit, and waited for her rival to come pick her up.
An hour later, his car arrived. Lin Lin put on her shoes and went out.
She got in the car and quietly watched as it drove toward their destination.
Soon, the car stopped on a street. The girl blinked. Gao Liang took a bag with clothes inside, smiled, got out of the car, and opened the door for her.
“Lin Lin, we’re here.”
“Um, is there a place to change clothes inside?”
“There should be.”
“Okay, wait for me to change first!”
Lin Lin grabbed the clothes and ran into the dance studio, heading to the changing room.
