There will surely be so many people scolding me and calling me high-maintenance. This will all be part of my battle record! Yu Li thought, feeling wonderful.
The little boy was kneeling on the edge of the bed. His shorts had rolled up from his sleeping posture, making it look as if he were wearing nothing at all. His legs were long and fair, and his pink-tinged, tiny feet were buried in the soft mattress, creating small indentations in the sheets.
The sight left the men in the room momentarily stunned. Qi Cai, who was closest, reacted the fastest. He bent down, his long-fingered hand gripping the edge of the boy’s shorts to tug them back down, covering the illusion of him being naked and concealing his snow-white thighs completely.
“Aren’t you tired?” Qi Cai said, sounding annoyed. “Why do you need to look at the chat?”
He felt displeased and cast a sideways glance at Qin Xie, expressing his dissatisfaction with the idea of livestreaming Yu Li while he slept. The little boy was so beautiful, and he was never still when awake, always wiggling his waist and kicking his feet. If he were asleep, he might not know what was happening; he could kick off his blankets or lift his clothes, revealing everything to be gawked at or subjected to disgusting behavior by those villains through the screen. That was certainly not something he wanted to see.
Yu Li was still quite afraid of Qi Cai, but with the main protagonists present, he decided to save face. He braced himself, lifting his chin to reveal the arrogance and pride typical of a vicious little cannon-fodder character.
“Use your brain, will you?” Yu Li retorted. “I am a national treasure. Them being able to interact with me is a blessing they cultivated in their past lives!”
Qi Cai was rendered speechless for a moment before grumbling, “Little troublemaker.”
Because Yu Li was standing with his hands on his hips, the shirt he had tucked into his shorts pulled tight, making his waistline appear even more prominent and tiny. Qin Xie and Fu Shen, clearly disliking Qi Cai’s grumbling, hurried over to fuss over Yu Li’s feet. “Of course it is our blessing. Li-Li is the last ancient human, after all!”
Seeing Yu Li’s tail nearly wagging in the air from the praise, his delicate face held high, and his expression completely entitled, Qi Cai found it somewhat amusing. Little prideful thing, do you really like being fawned over that much?
As the official livestream opened, countless people poured in. New humans who had been waiting for a glimpse into the daily life of an ancient human rushed in excitedly. The camera was aimed at Yu Li’s upper body.
Yu Li appeared with his back straight, his messy, fluffy black hair disheveled. His beautiful little face wore a beaming smile, and his pink lips parted as he spoke, “Hello, everyone!”
As Yu Li greeted them, the livestream chat flooded instantly.
User 1: Oh my god! Do you know how it feels to wake up, open the stream, see the ancient human’s peerless beauty, and hear his sweet, delicate voice?
User 2: I am a fan-mom! Ahhh! The baby is so cute, so cute!
User 3: The baby looks much more energetic. Looks like he’s been doing well these past few days!
User 4: So excited to be in the front row. The ancient human is so well-behaved!
User 5: I have been hit by the baby’s beauty. Even though I don’t understand what he’s saying, he must be greeting us based on that sweet, harmless smile.
User 6: Oh my god, why is the baby so polite? Ahhh, my sweet baby!
The endless stream of comments flashed across the screen so quickly it was impossible to read them. Yu Li glanced at the chat and felt a bit disappointed. He did not understand what they were saying, but that did not stop him from acting out.
Yu Li tugged at the corner of Qin Xie’s shirt. “My stomach feels bloated. Come over and rub it for me.”
Qin Xie was cold and had a clumsy way with words. He could not say the things Fu Shen said to make the little puppet happy; he just worked in silence, and his presence was even less notable than Qi Cai’s, who had not been there long. Yet, Yu Li had bypassed the other two and specifically called for his help, even stretching out a small hand to tug his clothes and act spoiled.
Qin Xie lowered his tall, broad frame. The bright gold light overhead cast a shadow over him, and the man’s stern, cold face was tense and focused as he obediently stretched out a hand and placed it gently on the boy’s stomach.
Yu Li was stunning. After adapting to his new environment and eating his fill, his vitality was even stronger than before, making it impossible to look away. As Qin Xie’s fingertips touched the warm skin of the boy’s stomach through his clothes, Qin Xie’s heart began to race. He lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes trembling almost imperceptibly. How can he be so soft?
Yu Li was always lazy; he clearly did not like to exercise, which was why his whole body was so soft. Qin Xie did not need to think twice to know this.
The two were very close. Qin Xie was half-crouching in front of the youth, his line of sight shifting from bottom to top. He could see every detail of the little boy. Even from this usually unflattering angle, Yu Li’s features were so beautiful that they were beyond perfection. His black hair was fluffy, catching the light with a faint golden sheen. His dense eyelashes were often moist at the roots, his glassy eyes staring ahead at the livestream, and his pink lips turned up in a happy mood.
His delicate, translucent, pale-pink, palm-sized face was perfectly framed by his features; he was impossibly dainty and well-behaved. It was strange—the little boy had a fierce temper and loved to torment others, yet even when he was acting like a bully, his lash roots were wet and his eyes were glistening with moisture, making it seem as if he were the one being bullied.
Yu Li was indeed in a good mood. He had successfully received the notification that his evil value had increased, and the slight lingering frustration in his heart vanished. Yu Li was nervous and worried, as this was his first time following the “vicious little cannon-fodder” script. If he did not complete it, he would be written out of the story, and he would be forced to take on less profitable scripts where he would be treated even worse.
Currently, his evil value had reached 51 points!
What if I get punished for bullying others too much? Yu Li timidly glanced at Qi Cai, who was sitting there with a cold face, wondering what he was thinking.
[Character Refreshed] [Qi Cai: Arrogant and high-minded. He despises those who act out without brains and loves to hit people.]
Qi Cai felt the gaze on him and looked up, meeting the boy’s eyes just in time to see him flusteredly look away. Qi Cai felt very unhappy. What is this for? I have not been fierce, and I have not hit anyone. Why does Yu Li look like a little sheep seeing a hungry wolf every time he sees me?
Yu Li hurriedly looked toward Fu Shen, desperately ignoring Qi Cai’s resentful gaze. Without hesitation, he bossed Fu Shen around in a haughty tone: “You, come over here and massage my legs.”
