When Li Yiyan saw the WeChat message from Yun Yun, the corners of his mouth involunt lifted slightly, and his mood seemed particularly cheerful.
However, his reply remained concise and firm: “Mhm.”
Yun Yun had long grown accustomed to Li Yiyan’s brief way of responding.
After selecting her group streaming outfit, Yun Yun practiced a new dance at home, planning to perform it the next time she achieved her highest winning streak.
Just as Yun Yun sat on the sofa, frowning thoughtfully while deciding what to eat, she received a WeChat message from y.
Yun Yun eagerly opened it, but the smile on her face instantly vanished. Her cheerful expression turned somber.
y: “Sorry, something came up tonight. I might not be able to watch your stream.”
Well… Yun Yun actually felt quite disappointed inside. It wasn’t about the gifts; she just felt that having y there during her livestreams gave her a greater sense of security.
Even if y didn’t spend a single cent and simply watched her stream, she would still be happy.
Just like some of her loyal fans who, although they didn’t send her gifts, would praise her and spam her name in the chat every day. Seeing that always made her feel happy and fulfilled.
Yun Yun: “It’s okay, y-ge. Your real-life matters are the most important. Go ahead and take care of your things. You’ve already supported me a lot.”
In fact, Li Yiyan had only learned ten minutes earlier that he had work-related matters to attend to at 7 p.m. that night. The timing happened to clash with the S5 livestream schedule.
Moreover, he wasn’t sure how long it would take to finish, especially since Yun Yun didn’t participate in the Vote Solicitation Segment and ended her stream at 10 p.m.
He couldn’t guarantee whether he could wrap up his work before 10 p.m.
After all, sending gifts was entirely voluntary. Whether he chose to send them or not, he didn’t owe anyone an explanation.
Yet, for some reason, he felt compelled to tell her. Otherwise, he worried she might feel disappointed if she didn’t see him during her livestream.
Although he wasn’t sure whether she would actually feel disappointed, he still wanted to let her know.
Li Yiyan felt he had been acting a bit strangely lately, becoming so hesitant and cautious. It wasn’t like him at all.
When he saw Yun Yun’s WeChat message, he replied: “To me, the online world and reality are equally important, at least for now. I’ll always support you.”
Yun Yun, who had been feeling somewhat down, brightened up instantly upon reading y’s message. “Always support”? Did that mean he wouldn’t leave?
At that moment, Yun Yun couldn’t quite describe what she was feeling inside.
After careful thought, she decided it was probably dependence. Perhaps because y was someone who had supported her so firmly since her very first group stream, she felt a special connection to him.
Yun Yun: “Okay, y-ge. I understand! Thank you for your support.”
y: “Mhm, don’t say ‘thank you’ next time. I’m tired of hearing it.”
Yun Yun: “Then what should I say?”
y: “No need to thank me. Just accept my support with peace of mind.”
Yun Yun: (sweating emoji) “That doesn’t seem quite right, does it?”
y: “If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine. If you say ‘thank you’ again next time, you’ll have to send me a Carnival.”
Yun Yun: “Sure! Then start streaming now, and I’ll send you one.”
y: “The point isn’t the Carnival. The point is: no saying ‘thank you.'”Yun Yun: Huh? But if I don’t say thank you in the live streaming room, I’ll probably get scolded, right? Besides, I really am very grateful to you!
y: You can say it in the live streaming room, just don’t say it on WeChat.
Yun Yun: Alright, I’ll remember that!
y: Mm.
Once again, their conversation ended with Emperor y’s “Mm.” Even Yun Yun noticed it!! Yun Yun muttered to herself, “It seems like every chat ends with ‘Mm.'”
But right now, Yun Yun was more concerned about what to eat later. After all, she was already starving, her stomach growling with hunger.
She scrolled through the food delivery app for quite a while. The dazzling array of delicious food pictures on the screen left her feeling overwhelmed. After some hesitation, she finally decided to have a bowl of wontons.
When the delivery arrived, Yun Yun eagerly opened the packaging and began enjoying the delicious meal.
After Yun Yun finished eating, drank her fill, and cleaned up the table, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.
There was still an hour and a half before work. Yun Yun had already picked out her outfit; all that was left was to carefully apply her makeup.
Today, she didn’t plan to spend too much effort on her hair, opting to simply let it down casually, showcasing a natural and carefree beauty.
By the time Yun Yun had everything ready, the clock had already struck 6:20. Yun Yun quickly changed into comfortable shoes and hurried out the door to the company.
When she arrived at the live streaming room, Yun Yun didn’t even have time to chat with the other sisters in the group before the live stream was about to begin.
Following the usual routine, the top five from yesterday’s Vote Solicitation Segment would once again take the stage to dance.
After the dance, the fun and suspenseful rock-paper-scissors would determine who would stay on stage for the Stage PK segment.
However, this round of rock-paper-scissors was truly the center of attention.
Everyone was burning with curiosity, wondering if Yun Yun could continue her winning streak this time. After all, Yun Yun had never lost in the previous two rounds of rock-paper-scissors.
This time, Yun Yun’s side had three people: Rourou, Caicai, and herself, while the other side had four.
Rourou: Paper
Caicai: Paper
And Yun Yun threw: Scissors
Even Yun Yun herself found it hard to believe when she saw this. She couldn’t help but wonder if she had used up all her luck on rock-paper-scissors.
Xiao Wu seized the moment to liven up the atmosphere: “Yun Yun, maybe you shouldn’t participate next time; we’ll just count you as the winner.”
Caicai chimed in with a laugh: “Agreed! From now on, as soon as the live stream starts, Yun Yun automatically takes the defending position.”
Rourou also joined in: “I agree too!”
Yun Yun simply smiled faintly without saying anything more.
The winner from the other side of four was Xiao Mao. Just as Xiao Mao and Yun Yun were about to start rock-paper-scissors, they were instantly surrounded by everyone.
Everyone widened their eyes, eager to see the result as soon as possible.
Because Yun Yun and Xiao Mao were surrounded, the audience in the live streaming room couldn’t see the final outcome.
But they heard a series of alternating exclamations: “Ahhhhhhh.” Then they saw the other team members with expressions of utter disbelief.
Hearing that sound, even without seeing it firsthand, everyone knew Yun Yun had won again.
Xiao Mao said sincerely and with admiration: “I now completely believe in Yun Yun! Yun Yun, you are the rock-paper-scissors queen!”Xiao Wu couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems Yun Yun truly possesses some unfathomable mystique when it comes to rock-paper-scissors.”
