Wan Tang 2016 Livestream Room
The girl on the right ran off the stage in anger.
The taller girl on the left smiled especially sweetly, her two small dimples faintly visible. She made a big heart shape above her head with her hands and shouted into the camera, “Thank you, Cool Boss!”
[Fu Yuexiang: My baby has been discovered?]
[Princess Yaoyao: Our kitty has finally turned the tide after all the hardship]
For the rest of the competition, Coolest Villain guarded her the entire time, and Dongdongmao took the MVP of tonight’s arena match with a 28-win streak.
During the thank-you segment, An Mengyue walked to the very center, took the microphone in disbelief, took a deep breath, and said:
“Thank you to all the brothers and sisters who supported me today, and a special thanks to Cool Boss, who sent me so many little hearts. That was really too generous. Thank you for helping me win this MVP. I’ll work even harder in the future.”
After speaking, she bowed deeply and flashed a smile at the camera.
[Coolest Villain: How to make the kitten stand in the center?]
An Mengyue’s heart skipped a beat. Even now, she couldn’t figure out why this guy, who had supported Dai Daiyu yesterday, had taken notice of her today.
She was still quite confident in her appearance, but the way she came across on the livestream was… hard to describe.
“Bro, every Saturday our livestream room has a weekly competition. The girl who takes first place gets to stand in the C position the following week. Brothers and sisters, come play if you have time~”
[Coolest Villain: Alright]
[Coolest Villain: I’m off, little kitten]
She nodded seriously at the camera and waved goodbye.
It was pretty baffling, but there was also an indescribable sense of surprise. Had she just gained her first big spender?
After the stream ended, her fellow struggling sister Tutu quickly scurried over and raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
An Mengyue was still completely confused, a question mark practically hanging over her head. “I really have no idea!”
She opened Coolest Villain’s profile page and tapped follow. It showed that the two of them were now friends—”Start chatting now.”
Other than that, the chat box was completely empty. Tutu leaned in for a look and said in an excited tone, “Could it be that the big spender has a keen eye and discovered you, a hidden gem lost in the sea?”
Really?
She turned her head to look at the mirror and touched her cheek. Still just as ugly as ever!
Then she pointed at her lower eyelid. “With me looking like this? Does this guy have a thing for ugly people?”
The sound of clicking high heels came from behind them. The two turned around to meet Dai Daiyu’s vicious glare.
…
The dressing room was so quiet that only the furious clacking of keyboard keys could be heard. The atmosphere was thick with awkwardness. Some people who wanted to watch the drama kept darting their eyes back and forth between the two.
An Mengyue pressed her lips together and sat back down in her seat. She had never done anything to wrong anyone, so there was nothing to explain.
Besides, going to talk to Dai Daiyu would only make things more embarrassing for her, and it would make An Mengyue look like she was gloating over her good fortune.
She leaned back in her chair and mulled over an opening line.
[Dongdongmao: Thank you, Cool Boss! May all the money in the world go to you!]
[Coolest Villain: Thanks for the kind words]
[Coolest Villain: Your makeup is hideous]
An Mengyue couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. So the big spender had normal taste after all—but his preferences might not be so normal. He still supported her even though she was ugly!!
[Dongdongmao: I didn’t mean to offend your eyes with my ugliness… (awkward emoji)]
[Coolest Villain: Can you change your makeup if you win the weekly competition?]
[Dongdongmao: Yeah, if I stand in the C position, I can wear nicer clothes and my makeup will be adjusted too.]
[Coolest Villain: Good]
What exactly did that “good” mean?
Although the other party hadn’t given a clear promise, a glimmer of hope sprouted in her heart.
【Coolest Villain: Not going live?】
【Dongdongmao: Uh… then I’ll stream for a bit later, let me take off my makeup first】
【Coolest Villain: I’ll wait for you】
Anyone seeing their conversation would only find it strange.
Everyone else puts on makeup for their streams, but she said she was taking hers off, and the big spender said okay.
Absolutely absurd.
Facing the mirror, she bid farewell to today’s energetic little cat, wiped on some makeup primer, applied a tulip pink lipstick, and quickly left the company.
Getting into the car, she opened her DMs, sent a message to Coolest Villain, and pressed the live stream button.
The streetlight’s glow cast shadows across her face, flickering between light and dark. The dim environment carried a slight graininess, and in the frame, the young woman’s brows curved in a smile—even the blurry lens couldn’t hide her liveliness.
Soon, her few fans trickled into the stream, bustling about, stabilizing at eight viewers online.
【Fu Yuexiang: ?? You’re this good-looking? What is this stream?】
【Princess Yaoyao: Right? The stream filter is way too heavy-handed. You look so much better like this】
【Heartbroken Wangwang: A completely different person!】
Seeing the complaints scrolling across the chat, An Mengyue burst into laughter, revealing two sweet dimples.
On screen, a blue crystal castle pierced through the clouds, rainbows blooming in the background.
【User “Coolest Villain” sent a Romantic Castle*1】(28,888 diamonds) x18 x19 x20
An Mengyue’s eyes widened as she immediately sat up straight, exclaiming in surprise, “What are you doing?”
【Coolest Villain: Making it up to you】
【Fu Yuexiang: You should say thank you, not ask what he’s doing, silly cat】
【Princess Yaoyao: Wow, thank you, President Ku. Little cat’s a bit dazed, don’t mind her】
Watching her fans’ explanations flood the screen while the castle still sparkled, she bit her lower lip and nodded. “Thank you, Boss Ku~ But actually, I don’t really understand why…”
【Coolest Villain: It was always meant for you】
Always meant? So the first day was to support her?
Wasn’t he just throwing a stream for Dai Daiyu?
That doesn’t make sense!
A flood of questions swirled in her mind, but pressing further would seem presumptuous. She narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head with a gentle smile, and said, “Well then, thank you, boss~”
After expressing her gratitude, the shortcomings of a solo stream began to show, because she had no idea what to say. After getting out of the car, to keep the atmosphere from going cold, she sang a cappella a popular song called “Wheat Waves.”
“I’ll sing you all a song…”
Walking along the tree-lined path of the neighborhood, the evening breeze drifted gently, and her ethereal voice added a unique romance to the silent night.
“Closing my eyes, running through the fields, the direction the wind blows carries your scent, every breath quickens my heartbeat…”
【Heartbroken Wangwang: !! So good】
【Fu Yuexiang: Baby, you’re amazing】
Coolest Villain’s avatar hung at the top of the leaderboard, neither speaking nor leaving.
Along the way, the only sounds were her singing and the faint rustle of cicadas. A bright moon hung in the sky, and on the ground, only her endlessly stretched shadow could be seen.
“While you’re not paying attention, I quietly bury my tenderness, hoping that soon, love will bloom and reflect in your eyes.”
“As, it gently sways my skirt hem,”
“Waiting, for you to stroll over…”
When she lowered her gaze, she noticed two shadows overlapping.
She immediately fell silent and turned her head to find the owner of the shadow.
It was that man.
This time, he didn’t even spare her a glance, maintaining a steady pace as he ran off in another direction.
Even though she was still live streaming, An Mengyue couldn’t help but follow him with her gaze until he disappeared from sight. Only then did she look back at the screen and head home.
[Coolest Villain: Why did you stop singing?]
She scratched her cheek awkwardly. “Oh! Someone just walked by, and I felt a bit embarrassed… hehe.”
