"I'm going to take a shower," An Shiyu's voice came from afar.
Hearing this, Chao Yiyu, who was lying on her stomach on the bed, slowly stood up and replied, "Oh."
An Shiyu walked in from outside the door. Seeing the young girl gathering her clothes to prepare for a bath, she crossed her arms and asked, "A while ago, Uncle asked me if we should just tell Busty Girl and the others about our existence directly. I refused. What do you think?"
"Isn't it normal to refuse?" Chao Yiyu replied, looking as if she was used to it. "Rather than a painful goodbye..."
She turned her head slightly.
"It's better to act as if we never existed at all."
An Shiyu didn't seem surprised by Chao Yiyu's answer, as it was exactly what she had expected. However, looking at the girl's side profile, An Shiyu paused for a few seconds before speaking again.
"Actually, you still really want to be remembered by others, don't you? You are an independent existence."
"You're so annoying," Chao Yiyu said as she walked past An Shiyu with her clothes. "Jia~"
Watching her disappear into the bathroom, An Shiyu's eyes flickered slightly before she turned and went back to her room.
...
...
"It hurts—" Tang Keke let out a miserable whine as she lay flat on Bai Yuyou's bed.
Bai Yuyou reached out her small hands to apply a hot towel to the girl's waist, then observed Keke's reaction. "Why does it hurt? Ye Shuang clearly said this should make it feel a bit better..."
"The towel is too hot!"
"Oh."
Compared to the noisy commotion on Bai Yuyou's side, Ye Shuang's room seemed quite peaceful. Sitting at the head of his bed, Ye Shuang was on a video call with Chen Qin on his phone.
"It seems a bit noisy over there?" On the other end of the video, Chen Qin looked as if she had also just finished a shower. She was wearing a soft silk nightgown, and her large headlights, free from any restraints, swayed slightly in front of Ye Shuang, the light catching them in a somewhat dazzling way.
"Keke got injured today, and Yuyou is helping her apply a hot compress... Well, Keke sounds pretty energetic when she yells, so she should be fine."
Ye Shuang explained. After all, someone who was truly in trouble wouldn't be able to shout so loudly, and Keke's forceful cries clearly indicated that it wasn't a major issue.
"Mhm~ Ah Ye, I got a bit bored with you not at the company today, but Daddy wanted me to come home for dinner."
Chen Qin tapped her pretty face with her finger, looking troubled. "Sigh, if I could get a kiss, I might be a little happier."
"A kiss through a video call doesn't have any feeling. Next time we meet, I'll give you a full-body one," Ye Shuang chuckled.
Chen Qin seemed to think of something, and her face flushed red. She twirled a strand of hair around her finger and was about to say something when she noticed the landline ringing by her bed. She answered it, listened for a few seconds, and said,
"I have to go down and drink some soup."
"Should I hang up then?"
"No need, just leave it on." Saying this, Chen Qin suddenly gave a playful smile and tucked the phone right into her slimes, squeezing it tight.
Ye Shuang stared at the pitch-black screen, taking a few seconds to realize where the phone was.
What a novel perspective, though he couldn't see anything from in there, right?
Suddenly, the video call ended. It must have been an accidental touch.
"Honestly." Ye Shuang had no choice but to set his phone aside and lean back against the headboard to enjoy a moment of quiet.
Occasionally emptying one's mind was actually a form of rest.
Seeing that Chen Qin hadn't replied to his messages either, Ye Shuang slowly opened his eyes, got up, and sat down at his computer. He didn't really have anything to do; he just hadn't turned the computer on for a while and wanted to learn a little bit before going to sleep.
Casually opening Bilibili, Ye Shuang was about to click on the educational science section when he accidentally clicked something that redirected him straight to the livestream interface.
Livestreaming was one of the most popular trends in recent years. As long as you had a gimmick, even if you just wore a mask and acted like a cyber heroic spirit, you could rake in a lot of money.
The livestream feed for the redirected page popped up.
"Oh my, good evening~" a voice came from inside.
"Hmm... this should be what they call a VTuber, right?" Ye Shuang looked at the sudden livestream interface. It featured a mature 2D anime girl with silver hair and red eyes, wearing a tight latex bodysuit, while the chat barrage rolled rapidly by on the side.
Ye Shuang didn't know much about this stuff; Keke and An Shiyu would probably know more. Just as he was about to exit the page, he suddenly heard the VTuber inside speaking in broken Chinese about her day.
"Today, Nana-chan tripped and fell while running, and bled a lot, a whole lot."
Perhaps because he heard this sentence, Ye Shuang curiously took another look.
The chat was also rolling with messages expressing concern for the streamer.
"But it's okay, Nana-chan is very strong and even finished the whole run. Afterwards, when I went to the infirmary to get bandaged, the handsome school doctor even praised me for not being afraid of the pain."
"And also, that school doctor wanted me to stay and observe the wound, but as the chief ninja of the Kamishiro family, a trivial little scratch is absolutely no problem for Nana-chan~"
"Oh my, if my classmate hadn't dragged me over, I really wouldn't have needed to bandage the wound at all, hahahahaha."
Hearing the word ninja, Ye Shuang paused his finger just as he was about to close the interface. His gaze shifted, and he took another look at the streamer on the screen.
A coincidence?
Ninja, running, injured, Japanese girl.
Ye Shuang froze for a few seconds. Could this silver-haired, red-eyed VTuber be that An Shiyaya?
Speaking of which, the system interface had mentioned that she was a quite popular VTuber. If that was the case, it matched up perfectly.
However, the voice was vastly different; it didn't sound like the same person's voice at all.
Ye Shuang clicked on her profile and found that she had nearly a million followers, which should be considered pretty good, right?
But the story this VTuber was telling didn't quite match up. After all, that Ducky had laid on the infirmary bed until school was over, whining and sniffling, and only agreed to leave after taking painkillers.
"Hmm..." Just as Ye Shuang was planning to watch a bit longer, Chen Qin called back on video.
Noticing his phone light up, Ye Shuang decided to close the livestream for now. After all, if a girl's voice came through while he was on a video call with her, it would be hard to explain—Chen Qin would probably get jealous.
Hmm...
Probably.
If it were the jealous jar from the other timeline, that would definitely be the case. But the current Chen Qin felt more like a combination of Chen Qin and Fu Yao, lively yet gentle.
"Ah Ye, why did you hang up the video?"
"I didn't hang up, your slimes squeezed it and ended the call," Ye Shuang said.
"Oh, alright."
Chen Qin cutely stuck out her tongue, then thought for a moment and suddenly smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Let's go on a date tomorrow. Let's go out and walk around, okay?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Mhm, I want to take a day off too," Chen Qin said.
"Alright." Ye Shuang smiled and agreed.
