The Streamer’s Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection

Chapter 134

Because today was the Guild Competition, Jiang Zhouzhou got up early to prepare in advance.

Last night, Xiong Tailang had pulled her into a small group chat and revealed that more than two thousand streamers would be taking part in the Guild Competition.

After all, the benefits offered by the Guild were simply too generous. Even though the smaller streamers knew they weren’t strong enough, maybe, if luck was on their side, they could still scrape together a lucky participation prize.

[Xiong Tailang: SY is really going big this time. After the big streamers from other Guilds found out about the prize money SY is offering, every single one of them was drooling with envy.]

[Feifeifei Ya: It’s a one-million-yuan prize. Who wouldn’t be envious?]

[Feifeifei Ya: SY Guild only holds a Guild Competition once every six months, unlike other Guilds that do it once a month.]

[Jin Jianjin: Once a month is way too often. The Big Brother supporters’ wallets can’t take that.]

[Xiong Tailang: But the format for this Guild Competition is pretty brutal. Other Guilds use nine-grid or six-grid formats, but we’re going straight into random 1v1s this time. If you run into a big streamer with votes right at the start, you’re done for.]

[Feifeifei Ya: Exactly. I definitely don’t want to run into someone like Zhouzhou.]

[Jin Jianjin: +1]

[Xiong Tailang: +1]

Jiang Zhouzhou, who had been silently lurking: […]

After exiting the group chat, Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the time and figured Yin Yue was probably still on the plane.

After sending him a message to check in on him, she went to the bathroom, took a shower, and went to bed early.

Since she had woken up too early, Jiang Zhouzhou, feeling a little bored, noticed there was an oven in the kitchen of her new place. Her interest piqued, she went out and bought some baking ingredients.

She had always been interested in making desserts, but because of her family’s financial situation, she had never had the chance to try it.

Following an online video tutorial, she went step by step according to the instructions and made a few chocolate croissants.

After baking them for fifteen minutes, the oven let out a “ding.”

Jiang Zhouzhou opened the oven. The aroma of bread rushed out, but the moment she saw what she had baked, the anticipation in her eyes instantly vanished.

Still, after taking a bite, she found that the bread tasted pretty good, not much different from what was sold in stores. It was just that the appearance was… a little tragic.

Thinking that she did have a neighbor, Jiang Zhouzhou hesitated for a while before picking up her phone and sending Zhou Xian a message on WeChat.

[Jiang Zhouzhou: Dog Brother, are you home right now?]

After the message was sent, Jiang Zhouzhou only received a reply a few minutes later.

[Zhou Xian: Mm. Something up?]

[Jiang Zhouzhou: I made something and wanted to bring some over for you to try.]

If her neighbor were a stranger, she definitely wouldn’t have given any away. But since her neighbor was Zhou Xian… she felt too embarrassed to eat it all by herself.

[Zhou Xian: Then come over now.]

When Jiang Zhouzhou had bought the baking ingredients, she had also picked up some wrapping paper for bread. She wrapped up the two best-looking pieces, then rang the doorbell next door.

The door opened. Jiang Zhouzhou was just about to hand over the things in her hands, but when she saw the man behind the door, her face instantly turned bright red.

“Zhou Xian, you…”

Why weren’t you wearing anything on your upper body?

Oh my god. What had she just seen?

Jiang Zhouzhou’s entire face flushed so red it looked like it might drip blood. She lowered her head, and even her neck began to take on a faint pink hue.

“What about me?”

Above her head, the man’s voice was lazy, with a hint of hoarseness.

Jiang Zhouzhou stammered, “You… never mind. This is for you.”

Her lowered head lifted slightly. Her gaze swept from his V-line to his abs, then landed on a red mole on his chest.

It was a very small mole, but it seemed to pierce right into Jiang Zhouzhou’s eyes, impossible to shake off.

Not daring to keep looking, she hurriedly handed over the things in her hands.
A man’s soft chuckle seemed to brush past her ear.

“What’s this?”

He reached out and took it. His fingers were long and slender, the back of his pale hand faintly traced with blue veins.

But when he saw what was inside, the curve at the corner of his mouth tugged downward.

“You really think I’m a dog? You even went out of your way to bring me…”

He didn’t say the word, but they both knew what he meant.

Jiang Zhouzhou bit the soft inside of her cheek, lifted her eyes, and said, “It’s a chocolate croissant. If you don’t want it, give it back.”

She reached out to take the bread back, but Zhou Xian dodged her.

“Who said I didn’t want it?”

He took one out and bit into it.

His brows creased ever so slightly. It was cloyingly sweet.

Yet that little face was looking at him with such anticipation, her eyes sparkling again and again.

“Is it good?”

Her soft voice waited for his answer.

Zhou Xian chewed the dry mouthful and swallowed it down before saying against his conscience, “Mm. Not bad.”

The light in Jiang Zhouzhou’s eyes brightened even more. “There are more at home. I’ll get you two more pieces.”

Zhou Xian fell silent. “…”

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, Zhou Xian’s lips curved up. “Mm. Lin Chen loves these the most. I’ll bring him some to try too.”

When Jiang Zhouzhou heard him say Lin Chen liked them too, she gave Zhou Xian every piece of bread she’d baked at home.

With the kitchen cleared out like that, it looked much cleaner again.

By then, it was already noon. After Jiang Zhouzhou had a simple lunch, she began getting her makeup and styling ready for the livestream.

The Guild Competition started at two in the afternoon, so she went live twenty minutes early to warm up the room.

[…]

The instant she started streaming, several hundred people flooded in at the same time. The few users with Super Emperor membership icons were especially eye-catching, arriving with their own flashy entrance effects.

“Welcome, everyone, to Zhouzhou’s livestream room. Good afternoon!”

“Today is another day of loving my fan babies super, super much.”

Jiang Zhouzhou placed both hands over her heart and made a heart at the camera.

Her makeup today was a Japanese-style freckle look. Orange blush dusted her fair, tender cheeks, and she had dotted on little freckles with eyeliner gel. She had put extra effort into her hair too, using a curling iron to style it into woolly curls, with a large red bow clipped to the back of her head. Her white lace-up camisole was decorated with red line-art graffiti, paired with a retro red A-line mini skirt.

Just sitting there, she looked like an exquisite doll.

[Big Rice: Mm, Zhouzhou wifey is so cute today. I really want to take her home]

[Little Brother Dian: Big Rice: Mm, Zhouzhou wifey is so cute today. I really want to take her home]

Every time this happened, a certain someone would copy the Danmaku. His little intentions were practically spilling out of the screen.

[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Did you not sleep well last night?]

Brother Cockroach had noticed the faint shadows under Jiang Zhouzhou’s eyes.

Jiang Zhouzhou hadn’t expected him to be so attentive. She nodded and said, “Mm. It’s my first time participating in a Guild Competition, so I was a little nervous and didn’t sleep well.”

[Xiaomi Congee: What are you nervous about? We’re here]

[Xiaomi Congee: Even if you aren’t on screen, as long as the livestream is running, we can still send you to first place]

It was an extremely domineering tone, yet no one questioned it.
