After preparing the bubble bath, Su Yang walked to the bathroom door and called out to Pan Ning, who was sitting on the bed: “Hurry up, hurry up, the water’s ready.”
Pan Ning turned her head and said, “I really can’t do anything with you.”
“Taking a bath relaxes the body and mind.”
“Are you really going for the bath?” Pan Ning got off the bed and shot Su Yang a glare.
“Of course, but I might as well play a little game on the side, haha, come on.”
Pan Ning walked into the bathroom, and Su Yang closed the door. They both stepped into the bathtub and sat down.
Soon, fine beads of sweat covered their foreheads.
Looking at Pan Ning, whose face was flushed red like a fairy from the bath, Su Yang couldn’t hold back any longer and pulled her into his arms.
......
They soaked for a full hour before getting up to shower. After rinsing off, they put on bathrobes and returned to bed to lie down and rest.
“It’s only half past ten; I thought it was midnight,” Su Yang said contentedly, leaning against the headboard.
Pan Ning rested her head on his chest and replied weakly, “We started soaking before 9:30 and didn’t get out until 10:30. Don’t soak that long next time—I’m completely limp.”
Su Yang leaned down and kissed Pan Ning on the cheek, smiling. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
They both lay there playing on their phones. Su Yang downloaded a VPN to connect to a network line in China and opened TikTok to start scrolling.
The first thing he saw was Lin Yiyi, whom he hadn’t seen in ages, sitting in front of the camera in an adorable maid outfit, live-streaming.
Su Yang didn’t click into it, just swiped the screen to watch other content. After a few swipes, another “familiar face” popped up.
It was Tao Shu, with whom he’d had a brief memory in Lin City. She was also live-streaming, sitting in her room with no makeup, chatting with viewers.
‘Man, with looks like that, you can really be carefree—she looks this good even without makeup.’
Su Yang couldn’t resist clicking into the livestream. Because his level was quite high, his entry displayed differently from low-level users, making him stand out. Tao Shu definitely noticed.
But she pretended not to see him and kept chatting with other viewers about the same topic.
Su Yang checked Tao Shu’s livestream. There were only about twenty people.
The likes count was only over seven hundred—completely different from Lin Yiyi’s traffic level.
Of course, Tao Shu was just streaming for fun. Her family was quite well-off, so she never thought about making money online. She only streamed when she was bored and wanted to chat with people for entertainment, occasionally playing PK matches to earn a little pocket money.
Su Yang opened his account level and checked: currently level 53, with 2 million diamonds left. One diamond equaled a cent, and he needed over 80,000 more points to level up.
He wasn’t in a hurry and decided to first see how Tao Shu usually streamed.
Pan Ning was lying on his chest and naturally saw everything, but she didn’t care and continued playing on her own phone.
Tao Shu was squatting on a gaming chair, hugging her knees. Su Yang didn’t type anything, and she didn’t greet him either.
After watching for a few minutes, Tao Shu spoke up: “Someone’s calling me, I’ll accept it.”
A few seconds later, the screen split into two small windows. On the left was Tao Shu, and on the right was another female streamer who was also very pretty.
Su Yang clicked into the other person’s profile to check it out. The account was called Qiqi, with 110,000 followers, a consumption level of 40, and the IP address indicated she was also in Guizhou Province.
They started chatting as soon as they connected, and it seemed they knew each other in real life.
After chatting for a while, Qiqi invited Tao Shu to play a PK match.
Tao Shu didn’t refuse and started right away.
At this point, the number of viewers in the livestream had risen to 75, and a “big brother” had entered, sporting a 12-level fan badge and a consumption level two levels higher than Su Yang’s.
This person seemed to watch Tao Shu’s streams often. Tao Shu noticed his entry and greeted him with a smile.
“Welcome, my Brother Mu Qin! Long time no see in my livestream. What have you been up to?”
The level 55 big brother named Mu Qin typed back: “Been on a business trip, just got back from the States.”
“Oh, oh, I was wondering why you hadn’t been around for a few days.”
“Brother Mu Qin, help me rack up some votes, please. Nothing too much, just enough to beat the other side.”
“OK.” Mu Qin replied, then immediately sent five big rockets to overtake the score.
But not long after they overtook, the opponent’s score also soared quickly, shooting up to 200,000.
Seeing this, Su Yang thought: ‘Oh ho, got some skill, huh. Looks like they have a big brother too. Not many fans, but someone really spends on PKs—these streamers nowadays are impressive.’
Seeing the score overtaken, Tao Shu continued rallying votes: “Everyone in the livestream, throw in a pair of sunglasses to help me out, please.”
As soon as she said that, Qiqi’s score shot up another 100,000 to 300,000.
“Damn! They just choked me out—boohoo~”
—Is the other side really that strong?
—What do you think? They may not have many fans, but they’ve got big brothers.
—Brother Mu Qin, this one’s on you. Only you can turn the tide for our Shu Shu.
Mu Qin: “[Wry smile] The other side is a level 70 boss. A small fry like me can’t handle that.”
Seeing this, Tao Shu gave up on rallying votes. She shrugged indifferently and smiled: “Forget it, forget it, the other side’s score is way too high. Everyone, don’t send any more votes. Lose if we lose.”
After Tao Shu said that, Mu Qin sent three more luxury cars (worth a large gift), bringing the score to around 150,000.
After sending them, Mu Qin typed: “I’ve given all my votes, can’t recharge in time. This round’s probably lost.”
“It’s fine, Brother Mu Qin. You’ve already been amazing. Mwah!”
Seeing Tao Shu making a heart gesture at the camera, Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Pan Ning, looking at her own phone, said, “You’ve been watching for a while—why not send some votes to help her out?”
Su Yang tilted his head and smiled: “I’m planning to make my move at the last moment.”
With only 20 seconds left, Qiqi’s score had finally stabilized around 360,000 points.
Tao Shu had 160,000. Just when she thought she’d definitely lose, Su Yang made his move.
Same as always—a ten-in-a-row wave of Huazi (the highest-value gift).
In the last three seconds, the phone screen was filled with the effects of luxury car gifts (high-tier gifts), and the score jumped from 160,000 to 460,000, stealing the win.
Just as she was about to excitedly thank the sender, she saw that the account sending the gifts was named “Driving a Sports Car to Buy Groceries.” Tao Shu immediately switched her warm smile to a neutral expression.
She said dismissively, “Thanks to this ‘Buying Groceries’ netizen for the handout.”
Seeing Tao Shu’s attitude, Su Yang wasn’t angry. After all, after their brief encounter in Lin City, he had left without a word, so it was natural she had some feelings about it.
—Oh ho? Who’s this?
—Damn! There was another big brother?
—Impressive, impressive!! Ten luxury cars! Strong!
Su Yang didn’t mind and continued watching with a smile as they opened their mics.
On the other side, Qiqi said sulkily, “You little Tao Shu, stealing my victory again!”
“I thought I’d already lost, but out of nowhere, a wild big brother showed up.”
Hearing this, Su Yang thought to himself: ‘A wild big brother? Fine, fine.’
Qiqi added, “You sound like you’re not happy about it? Where did this wild big brother come from? I want one too! Let’s have a go—come follow my livestream, wild big brother~”
“Another round!” Qiqi said, not giving up.
“Sure, want to pull in two more people?”
“Fine, wait for it.”
Soon the screen split into four smaller windows, with Tao Shu and Qiqi at the top, and two new female streamers appearing below. However, what Su Yang didn't expect was that one of them turned out to be Lin Yiyi.
"What the hell? What's going on?"
