At 8:00 PM, everyone gathered in Jiu’s room.
Li Ai had already prepared warm milk for everyone.
Before coming to Jiu’s room, she had also gone to deliver a glass to Bai Qiuchen.
“What’s wrong, Li Ai?”
Bai Qiuchen opened the door and looked at Li Ai holding the tray.
Li Ai handed him a glass of milk from the tray.
“This is for Teacher. I wanted to bring Senior a glass of warm milk. May I ask where Senior’s room is?”
Li Ai asked with an innocent smile.
“Oh right, and one for Sister Xiao Mu too.”
“Ahhh! Just leave them all with me. I’ll deliver them later!”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Teacher.”
Li Ai handed the tray and milk to Bai Qiuchen, bowed politely, and left.
Recalling Bai Qiuchen’s panicked expression at the time, Li Ai couldn’t help but laugh.
“Li Ai-chan is so good at taking care of people, unfair, meow~~”
Shang Mengyou, who had witnessed everything, sprawled on the table and patted it discontentedly.
“Eh~ Is that so?”
Li Ai held a cup with one hand, pressed the index finger of her other hand against her lower lip, and squinted up at the ceiling.
“That’s right. This is Li Ai-chan’s own ability. How is it unfair?”
Alice agreed.
“Li Ai-chan… is really amazing.”
Jiu murmured with a mix of jealousy and envy.
“Did you know, Senior’s stream clips have been trending for half a day now?”
Xilalite switched the tablet screen from Bai Qiuchen’s room to [Magical Girl Magic].
The trending videos were all clips from Bai Qiu’s stream today.
Even with the boost of personalized recommendations, this situation was truly exaggerated.
Xilalite clicked directly into one titled <Bai Qiu’s Battle with He Xi’s Female Colleague, But With Inserted>.
Clicking in, there was no need to think about when it was inserted.
Of course, it was when the two were hugging.
Could it possibly have been when Jiu combo-killed Bai Qiu?
Who cares about gameplay when girls are flirting?
Super hype hug, super hype blushing, super hype escape.
“Kyaa~!”
Jiu let out a soft gasp and hurriedly reached out to close the video.
“Little Jiu is quite bold.”
Alice took a sip of milk.
“But she ran away in the end.”
Li Ai smiled.
“After all… after all, it’s such an embarrassing thing…”
Jiu clutched the cup tightly with both hands and lowered her head.
As she recalled the scene, her face was tinged with red again.
“Little Jiu is such a simple, kind, good child. How nice. So good.”
Li Ai patted Jiu’s head consolingly, a smile curling at the corner of her mouth that no one noticed.
Xilalite clicked into another one:
<Is Bai Qiu Still a Good Girl? Sweet Enough to Rot Your Teeth, a Perfect Interpretation of What It Means to Be an Elegant and Composed Young Lady>.
The video cover was the moment Alice gave Bai Qiu a playful kiss on the cheek.
Alice, locked onto by everyone’s gaze, still looked perfectly at ease.
Alice set down her cup and spoke calmly.
“Since we’re pursuing thrills, we might as well go all the way. I’ll gladly take Senior’s challenge.”
Having said that, she even bowed her head in thanks to the others.
Xilalite pursed her lips.
“It’s just a kiss on the cheek. You say it like no one else could do it.”
Jiu’s body trembled, her face grew redder, and her head hung lower.
“But the fact is, Senior’s first kiss was taken by me.”
“That’s all it was.”
Alice gave a proud hum.
Xilalite didn’t argue with her further and clicked on the next video.
<If I Could Put a Time Limit on This Period, I’d Want It to Be Ten Thousand Years>.
The cover was Zhen Hong giving Bai Qiu a lap pillow and cleaning her ears, with Bai Qiu looking utterly blissful.
“Li Ai-chan, you’d better explain.”
Facing the aggressive Xilalite, Li Ai merely tilted her head with a smile, looking innocent and adorable.
“Explain what?”
“Why are you and Alice both so excessive?”
But Xilalite clearly wasn’t buying it and pressed closer.
“Excessive?”
Li Ai tilted her head.
“I don’t understand what Little Xi is talking about. We just did things according to our own ideas, within the rules, without crossing any lines.”
“Hmph.”
Next video:
<The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind. Nox Makes a Hero’s Entrance, a Miraculous Comeback Crushing Bai Qiu!>
“See that? This is how amazing I am!”
Xilalite’s eyes sparkled as she stared fixedly at the screen, watching the moment she and Caili relied on teamwork to make a miraculous comeback against Bai Qiu.
“Hmm… it’s pretty good, but unfortunately…”
“Unfortunately…”
Watching the video to the end, Li Ai and Alice shook their heads and sighed in unison, causing Xilalite to puff out her cheeks and look at them as if they were enemies.
“How come there’s nothing about me, meow?”
Shang Mengyou grabbed the tablet and searched carefully.
Bai Qiu’s stream clips today all had high view counts, with over a dozen surpassing a million.
But she searched for a while before finally finding a clip about herself with barely over 400,000 views.
The related recommendations below this video were also clips about her, but with even lower views.
<Our (choking up) Caili-chan… what will become of her (choking up again)…>
The title was completely different in style from the previous ones.
The video cover showed Caili hugging the short cape and glaring with tears in her eyes.
The comments below the video were uniformly:
[My Caili-chan has been treated so unfairly by that despicable white demon]
With a “crack,” Shang Mengyou froze.
“Pff…”
Alice covered her mouth with one hand and turned her head away.
“Just laugh if you want to, meow…”
Shang Mengyou wore a self-abandoning smile at the corner of her mouth.
“What a shameful day… I will never forget this day, meow…”
“I feel like Little You is a bit broken now. How pitiful.”
Li Ai gave the distraught Shang Mengyou a sympathetic hug.
In her heart, she prayed that Shang Mengyou wouldn’t recover before she herself got together with Teacher/Senior, lest she come to cause trouble.
Today’s Victory and Defeat:
Bai Qiu & Bai Qiuchen’s Victory———A single stream earned over 5 million net.
He now wanted to run to the guild leader, slap him, and slam his resignation letter in his face.
But just in case, since he might need them again after losing all the money someday, it was better not to ruin his relationship with the guild leader just yet.
Nikaido Ria & Alice Deloise’s Victory———Dealt a critical hit to Bai Qiu.
Ri Bai Jiu’s Half Victory———Also got to cuddle with Bai Qiu, but ran away because she was too shy.
She was the one who made the request, yet she was the most embarrassed.
Shang Mengyou & Shirarito Akaosu’s Defeat———Humiliating.
They dealt absolutely no damage to Bai Qiu, and in the end were counter-killed by the shameless Bai Qiu.
Current score:
Nikaido Ria (2)
Alice Deloise (2)
Shirarito Akaosu (1)
Ri Bai Jiu (0.5)
Shang Mengyou (0)
“Why am I the only one doing this badly, meow…”
Shang Mengyou sprawled on the table, burying her head in her arms and looking like she was about to cry.
“Keep at it.”
“Keep working hard, Little You.”
Alice and Li Ai patted Shang Mengyou’s head from both sides, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.
“Uwuu meow…”
[Starting today, I’m entering my luxurious slacker life. Whoever wants this crappy job can take it. There’s no way I’m working again until the money runs out.]
[Only 5 million and that’s it?]
[It’s precisely because I have 5 million now that I should enjoy it properly. 5 million has its own way of being enjoyed, 50 million has its own way of being enjoyed.]
[Still less than what I make writing novels.]
[How is that the same? How many years have I been streaming versus how many years have you been writing?]
[That just shows you know streaming. Earning a million a day in just a few years.]
[(Sighing.GIF) I can only rely on them to make some small money for now.]
[You probably won’t be able to use this money for long anyway.]
[Who knows? I’ll use it for as long as I can.]
[I’m about to release a new book soon. It’s based on me, you know. Interested?]
[Even though you’re a crooked merchant, as your friend, of course I’ll support your book release.]
[You’re really just saying that because you can’t live without my magic.]
[Don’t say that. We’re friends, aren’t we? Good friends should stab each other in the back, hahaha~]
