[Wow, I just noticed the streamer has heterochromia! So pretty!]
[Streamer, you’re killing me. That gorgeous face—I want to have your babies!!]
[Not fun.]
The Captain froze for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, quickly floating a message across the screen.
Feeling that three words weren’t sincere enough, he added another line: [It won’t happen again.]
Watching the Captain’s earnest message float across the public screen, Yun Long nodded in satisfaction and sat back down.
That’s more like it. Being obedient is so much better than interrupting her singing.
Pirate had been busy showering the Sister Clan with gifts when he suddenly saw Yun Long lean close to the screen, and his hands stopped mid-gift.
He had come in fuming, ready to pick a fight, after the Captain left without a word.
Looking at Xiaolongbao’s looks and the background that clearly had no beauty filter, Pirate felt a bit sour. How had he never noticed before that the Captain ate this well?
Gifts? What gifts? Forget it.
He had originally planned to fight the Captain to the bitter end, but after seeing Yun Long—ahem—how could he have ever thought that way?
He and the Captain were best bros, and bros naturally belonged together.
He’d already sent over thirty Carnival Gifts to the Sister Clan’s side, which was pretty decent.
With that thought, Pirate clicked on Xiaolongbao’s profile and jumped over.
Yun Long was idly admiring the gold nail polish she’d applied to match today’s outfit when she saw Pirate enter.
“Welcome, Pirate bro. Bro, what are you—?”
She was a bit puzzled. Wasn’t this big bro supposed to be showering the other side with gifts? Why had he come to her stream?
[Ahem, nothing. I came to find the Captain.]
“Oh, I see. Well, you two chat.”
After saying that, Yun Long paid Pirate no more attention, admiring her nails while chatting idly with her fans.
A meaningful expression appeared on the Captain’s face.
He knew the guy too well—Pirate was one hundred percent here for Xiaolongbao.
He was just using him as a shield.
Less than a minute later, the Captain’s private messages chimed.
[You came back without even telling me, and you’re living this well? Are we even friends?]
[Just got back, ran into her by chance. Didn’t you come over too?]
The more Pirate read the Captain’s messages, the more suffocated he felt. He’d have been better off not reading them at all.
This guy was the same as ever. No fun at all.
At that thought, he looked at Yun Long wearing her cat ears.
[The Captain and I have settled our grudge. Sorry about earlier—I got you caught in the crossfire. Let me make it up to you.]
With that, Pirate opened the gift list and started sending from the very first item.
[Pirate sent Xiaolongbao Little Hearts* (1 diamond)]
……
[Pirate sent Xiaolongbao Interstellar Roses* (7,500 diamonds)]
……
[Pirate sent Xiaolongbao Carnival Gift*1 (30,000 diamonds)]
Pirate had already noticed that no one had filled Yun Long’s exhibition hall, so he took the opportunity to max it out completely.
Seeing that every gift in the exhibition hall except the Carnival Gift bore his name, Pirate felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
As for that Carnival Gift—well, whatever. He wasn’t OCD about it. He’d let the Captain have that one.
“Wow, thank you Pirate big brother for gifting Xiaolong’s exhibition hall. Xiaolong is so happy! This is the first time anyone has ever gifted Xiaolong an exhibition hall.”
Yun Long, seeing so many special effects all at once, was thrilled and excited.
She truly hadn’t expected it—Pirate had just been battling her from the opposite side, and now he had lit up her entire exhibition hall. What a wonderful surprise.
“Pirate big brother, here’s a Swan Lake dance just for you. I hope you’re happy every single day.”
Yun Long had learned from other streamers before and had prepared a number of simple little dances. She never expected to use them so soon.
Her white, gold-flecked princess gown fluttered gently with her movements, stirring ripples in the hearts of several big spenders.
Sister Clan was leisurely soliciting votes in her livestream when she saw Pirate send another screen-flooding gift. She was just about to give thanks when she realized the gift hadn’t been sent to her.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked at the public chat again, only to find that her PK bar hadn’t budged an inch—instead, it was her opponent’s PK bar that was leaping wildly.
Her face darkened for a moment, then she quickly plastered a brilliant smile back on—though it was a bit stiff.
The spectators, seeing there was no drama to watch, all flooded into Yun Long’s livestream instead.
Watching Yun Long dance, Ban Yao Er Sheng swept everything off his desk onto the floor.
He was the one who had discovered Yun Long first. He was the one who had sent her gifts first.
So why was her first dance given to some newcomer?
Was it because he hadn’t sent enough gifts? But that was only because…
Why? Why couldn’t he get that kind of treatment?
How could she? How could she use him and then just kick him aside? He wouldn’t allow it.
Jealousy surged through Ban Yao Er Sheng’s heart. Looking at his long string of balance, he didn’t hesitate—he started tapping away at Carnival Gifts. He would make Yun Long know who her true big brother was.
By the time Yun Long finished her dance, the PK had already ended.
She was a bit dazed. She remembered this PK was set for ten minutes, didn’t she? Only half the time had passed—how had she and Princess already won?
She sat down in a daze, looking at the messages on the public chat.
[Big spender is awesome! Ban Yao Er Sheng, big spender, do you still need a leg accessory?]
[My god, Xiaolongbao is about to rise! Yesterday she won a solo PK instantly, and today the double PK amount was double, and it got insta-cleared too. Tomorrow she’ll definitely be all over the gossip accounts.]
Yun Long watched the public chat for a while before realizing that Ban Yao Er Sheng had made his move and instantly cleared the PK.
“Thank you, Ban Yao big brother. Wow, you’ve spent too much, big brother. Xiaolong is really so happy today. Finger hearts, finger hearts!”
Seeing that Yun Long showed no sign of getting up, Ban Yao Er Sheng’s jealousy reached its peak. Unable to hold back, he flooded the screen with a message: [Where’s my exclusive dance?]
