Yan Dongxu gently woke Xu Yiyi up, signaling that they had arrived.
Afterwards, he paid the taxi fare and the two got out of the car and went upstairs.
"Go get some more sleep. The live stream doesn't start for another hour."
"Okay."
Xu Yiyi nodded and headed straight for Yan Dongxu's bedroom.
"Um... you sleep in Xinran's room. I haven't changed my sheets and you'd find them disgusting."
"Stupid straight man." Xu Yiyi rolled her eyes and turned to walk towards Yan Xinran's room instead.
Yan Dongxu grabbed Xu Yiyi's hand and pulled her back.
He whispered in her ear, "So you really want to sleep in my room that badly? Fine! I'll go sleep in my sister's room."
He pushed Xu Yiyi into his bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Then he went back to his sister's room to rest.
"Stupid straight man! He's pissing me off. Is he an idiot?" Xu Yiyi grumbled to herself for a while, fuming with anger.
Lying on his sister's bed, Yan Dongxu chuckled to himself, guessing the girl must be outraged.
Knock knock knock!
Xu Yiyi knocked on his door.
"What's up? Something you need?" Yan Dongxu opened the door and asked.
"I can't come get you without a reason?" Xu Yiyi glared at him.
"You're acting strange. Are you plotting something indecent against me?"
"Ugh, disgusting!" Xu Yiyi stomped on his foot and turned to run away.
In one swift movement, Yan Dongxu grabbed her and fiercely stomped on her feet in retaliation.
The steel straight man's actions made Xu Yiyi hop up in pain.
"Don't make me use my grappling skills on you!" Xu Yiyi said with a laugh.
It had been years since she last roughhoused with a guy like this.
"Go ahead and try! I'm not scared of you! I only got taken down by your shoulder throw last time because I wasn't prepared!" Yan Dongxu refused to back down.
Slap!
Xu Yiyi rushed over, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly pecked him on the cheek.
Standing frozen in place, Yan Dongxu was stunned by happiness.
"What do you think? My grappling skills are pretty good, huh?" Xu Yiyi asked proudly.
"Very...very good!" Yan Dongxu answered woodenly.
"Uh...I should start my livestream now!" Yan Dongxu changed the subject, struggling to stay calm.
"Come here, let me wipe that lipstick off your mouth."
Xu Yiyi said, blushing.
"Don't wipe it. You really don't understand livestreaming."
Yan Dongxu pinched her cheeks affectionately, utterly doting on her.
After tidying up his hair a bit, Yan Dongxu turned on the computer and started streaming.
Since he didn't stream the night before last or yesterday morning,
his popularity hadn't decreased at all, but had risen due to the hunger marketing effect.
As soon as he started streaming, hordes of viewers flooded into the room.
In less than ten minutes, the viewer count surpassed 200,000.
[You finally started streaming!]
[Hurry up and explain! What's going on between you and Xu Yiyi?]
[Wow, after just a few days, a big celebrity took the initiative to kiss you.]
[Master, quickly teach us your tricks!]
[Hm? Why do you have lipstick on your mouth?]
[Whoa, something's not right! What's with the lipstick stain?]
[Lipstick! Lipstick! Lipstick!]
[The streamer's eating alone!]
...
"You guys are so enthusiastic, thanks everyone for visiting my stream."
"Let's not say anything else first. Let me gift two cell phones to you all first. Follow and comment to enter the raffle drawing. It will start in ten minutes."
"I know you all want to know exactly what happened. We have to take this slowly, right?"
[Hurry up and tell us!]
[Who cares about cell phones! I want drama!]
[Give me back my Xu Yiyi!]
[What's it feel like to be with a big celebrity?]
[You liar, just yesterday you were complaining Xu Yiyi was going to sue you, and now you're kissing her?]
[If you don't explain clearly, don't end the stream yet.]
...
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you guys either."
"Xu Yiyi likes me. She couldn't resist my handsome looks and impulsively kissed me."
"As a dignified adult man, having my first kiss stolen like that - how embarrassing is that?"
"After I pushed her away, I turned around and took a bite of her in return. We can't let her take advantage of us, right?"
[Hahahaha!]
[When it comes to bragging, no one beats you, Yan Dongxu!]
[You almost had me convinced.]
[Keep going, don't stop! You had me immersed in the story.]
[You really know how to play around. You made it sound so real.]
[What a waste for such a good cabbage to be ruined by a pig.]
[After what happened with the driver, Xu Yiyi really changed huh.]
[Tsk tsk, is she trying to establish a different image now?]
...
"Yan Dongxu! Is this how you livestream? Spewing BS from your mouth!"
Furious, Xu Yiyi gave him a solid pink kick to the face with her bare foot.
After spinning around in his gaming chair from the blow, Yan Dongxu grabbed and pulled her over to sit on his lap.
"You've got quite the kick there! Is what I said true or not?"
"Ah! What are you doing? I'm not ready yet!"
Flushing bright red, Xu Yiyi covered her face and hurriedly tried to get up.
But Yan Dongxu didn't let go. "Sit still and behave yourself. Everyone's watching, don't move around."
[Holy crap! Is that Xu Yiyi?]
[Oh my god, what am I seeing!]
[This is huge! Groundbreaking!]
[Being so intimate, you must be together right?]
[Bro, you're my idol, I bow to you.]
[Yan Dongxu, get lost! My turn!]
[So Xu Yiyi is just a cheap slut huh.]
[That's really Xu Yiyi! The lipstick stain on your mouth is hers right!]
...
"Yan Dongxu, let me go quick. I'm so embarrassed I could die."
Seeing the barrage of bullet comments, Xu Yiyi shyly wanted to escape.
She had intended to show her face, but not in this kind of way.
Especially seeing comments accusing her of being a slut, she felt very unhappy.
She knew this scandal would bring Yan Dongxu lots of bad press.
He could even lose a huge number of fans.
But to defend her reputation, Yan Dongxu still chose to do this.
[Chivalrously rushing to defend his beauty's honor!]
[What a real man! Nice!]
[Getting protective already huh?]
[Curse your fans? Fine, I'm out!]
[The streamer's got a temper and thinks he's hot stuff now huh.]
[You just got popular a few days ago and you're already putting your arms around a big celebrity. What'll you do if you get even more popular?]
[Unsubscribing, unsubscribing.]
...
In an instant, many viewers started attacking him.
But Yan Dongxu didn't care at all.
As a person, you had to value relationships. He had gotten popular because of Xu Yiyi after all - he was just repaying the favor.
[Stop scolding him, go check out the latest announcement the police just released!]
[Saw it, saw it. There's a statement video from the driver.]
[So the driver actually didn't succeed at all. We misunderstood Xu Yiyi!]
[Damn, which bastard started those rumors? Catch him quick!]
