Upon seeing the notification of the follow, Li Yiyan merely stared at Yun Yun’s account for a while and did not follow her back.
Yun Yun had already returned to her dorm by then. She had assumed her roommates would be fast asleep, but when she gently pushed the door open, she found three pairs of eyes fixed on her in unison.
She returned to her seat with a look of surprise and asked, puzzled, “Why aren’t you all asleep yet? I thought you’d be sleeping by now.”
At that moment, the three of them quickly pulled their chairs over and surrounded Yun Yun. Yun Yun looked at them blankly and said, “What are you doing?”
Qianqian gazed at her with curiosity and eagerly asked, “Who was the person who sent you ten Carnivals? Do you know them?”
Yun Yun answered truthfully, “I don’t know them.” Then, afraid they wouldn’t believe her, she quickly handed her phone to them and added, “See, I followed him, but he didn’t follow me back.”
Huier’s mouth fell open in astonishment. “You really don’t know them? Someone you don’t know just sent you ten Carnivals right off the bat! That’s incredibly generous.”
Nannan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Is this the legendary ‘domineering CEO falls in love with me’ scenario?”
Yun Yun felt a bit embarrassed by their teasing and quickly changed the subject. “I’ll treat you all to lunch tomorrow, and in the afternoon, I’ll be moving my things out to live elsewhere.”
Yun Yun’s three roommates exclaimed in unison, “Huh?”
Qianqian frowned slightly and asked, “Why so sudden?”
Huier chimed in, “Yeah, the dorm is perfectly fine to live in.”
Yun Yun patiently explained, “I’ve found a job now! I always planned to move out once I got a job, and besides, the dorm is quite far from the company.
Also, once I transition from trial broadcasting to regular broadcasting, my work hours will get later and later, making it inconvenient to come back.”
Wu Huier said, “That’s true. I’ve seen the Vote Solicitation Segment at the end of S5—the earliest it ends is around two or three in the morning, not to mention the latest, which can go past ten in the morning!”
Qianqian couldn’t help but sigh. “That sounds so exhausting!”
By then, it was already quite late, with the hour hand quietly pointing toward the dead of night. Yun Yun said, “Alright, stop crowding around me! It’s very late now. Let’s all go to sleep so we can wake up on time tomorrow!”
With that, the three girls reluctantly returned to their own spots. Since they had already washed up, they quickly got into bed, pulled up their blankets, and prepared to sleep.
After finishing her own nighttime routine, Yun Yun also climbed quietly into bed.
She picked up her phone and saw that y still hadn’t followed her back. She thought to herself that since he had sent her ten Carnivals tonight, such generous support deserved a thank-you message from her, both out of courtesy and gratitude.
Since they weren’t mutual followers, according to the platform’s rules, Yun Yun could only send y one private message.
Yun Yun typed and deleted, deleted and typed. Finally, after carefully refining her words over and over, she sent the message: “Thank you for your support tonight! It’s my first day of group broadcasting, and you’ve already shown me such incredible support!
Thank you so much for your generosity! I hope you have a happy day and earn back the money for those ten Carnivals in no time!”At this moment, Li Yiyan was struggling with whether to follow Yun Yun back when he suddenly received a private message from her on his phone screen.
Reading the earlier part of the message, he found it quite normal, filled with sincere gratitude. However, when he reached the last sentence, he couldn’t help but frown. Why did it feel less like a blessing and more like a curse?
So, he quickly replied with a few words: “Earn thirty thousand a day? Is this a curse?”
Seeing this message, Yun Yun suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized her mistake.
Earning thirty thousand yuan a day was a dream income for her, but for someone like Li Yiyan, who casually gifted ten Carnivals at a time, it was indeed far too little.
She hurriedly sent a private message to apologize: “Sorry, I didn’t think it through properly. I hope you don’t mind.”
When Li Yiyan saw this private message, he could almost picture her nervous and flustered expression.
He sent a comforting message: “It’s okay, don’t be so tense. I’m not blaming you. Is this your first day of group streaming?”
Seeing that y wasn’t upset with her, Yun Yun immediately felt relieved. She replied honestly: “Yes, today was my first day of group streaming.”
y: “Were you very nervous? When I first joined, you seemed quite uneasy.”
Yun Yun hadn’t realized her nervousness was so obvious that the other person could tell. She replied: “A little, after all, I’ve never experienced such a big occasion or setting before.”
y: “Keep it up, you’ll get used to it slowly. It’s getting late, sleep early.”
Yun Yun: “Okay, you should rest early too. Goodnight.”
y: “Goodnight.”
After saying goodnight to y, Yun Yun put down her phone, closed her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully. So, she had no idea that after their conversation ended, y had followed her back.
She only found out about y following her back the next morning when she groggily picked up her phone.
When she saw that y had followed her back, she couldn’t quite describe how she felt. In any case, she felt quite happy, though she didn’t know why.
She lingered in bed a little longer until she saw her roommates getting up one after another. Only then did she sit up in bed.
Afterward, she quickly completed her simple morning routine, put a bit of effort into her appearance, and then went out to eat with her roommates, chatting and laughing along the way.
After some discussion, everyone agreed they wanted hotpot, so they enthusiastically headed to Haidilao together.
Once everyone had eaten to their heart’s content, Yun Yun announced she needed to return to the dormitory to pack her things.
Even though it was just moving things out of the dormitory, Yun Yun still found she had a large number of items to transport. After all, these were things accumulated over four years of university.
With no other choice, she called a small van from Huolala to help move her belongings.
