The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

The PK had ended by now, but no one was paying attention to who won or lost. Everyone in the stream was shocked by Tang Butian’s announcement that she was retiring.

“Wh… why?” Jiang Zhouzhou’s mouth hung open slightly, unable to hide her surprise.

Tang Butian smiled. “I’m a bit tired. I want to take a break.”

[White Rabbit Milk Candy: Then get some good rest! I’ll be waiting for you to come back no matter what.]

[Isn’t it because she found a Big Brother to marry, and he’s demanding she stop showing her face in public? That’s why she’s retiring, right?]

[Whenever a Female Streamer suddenly retires, it’s either because she’s made enough money or she’s going to be with a Big Brother in private.]

[System: ‘Playing with Shit in the Toilet’ has been kicked out of the stream by Moderator White Rabbit Milk Candy.]

[Love Eating Tang Guozi: Keep your mouths clean.]

Tang Butian ignored the Danmaku. Having been a streamer for so long, she had seen all kinds of people.

“Retiring is something I’ve thought long and hard about, so please don’t overthink it. But before I go, there’s one last thing I want to do. That’s why I requested a connection with Sister Zhouzhou.”

Seeing that Tang Butian was finally getting to the point, Jiang Zhouzhou instinctively straightened her back. She asked curiously, “What do you want to do, Sister Tiantian? If there’s anything I can do to help, I definitely will.”

A flicker of lingering affection and emotion that was hard to detect passed through Tang Butian’s eyes. She spoke slowly, “It’s about Mr. Nanfeng.”

[Dian: Ho, told you so. Heartbreak.]

[What’s her relationship with Big Shot Nanfeng?]

[She’s Big Shot Nanfeng’s old flame, after all.]

[Give it a rest. If everyone who ever got a gift from Brother Nanfeng is an ‘old flame,’ then Shark is crawling with his exes.]

[True. Big Shot Nanfeng was really generous back then. He supported many streamers.]

Tang Butian took a deep breath, appearing to steel herself. With a serious expression, she said, “If you ask me who I am most grateful to on Shark, it has to be Mr. Nanfeng. Back then, because I was being constantly harassed by Gaoshan, my stream-which had finally gained some traction-became a toxic mess. Every time I went live, countless people would flood in to verbally abuse me. My mental state was in a very bad place. If Mr. Nanfeng hadn’t stepped in to help, I probably would have left Shark long ago, let alone made it to where I am today…”

Jiang Zhouzhou didn’t know what to say, so she could only nod. “Brother Nanfeng is a good person.”

Tang Butian smiled. “Yes, he really is a very, very good person. Perhaps to him, what happened back then was just a trivial matter, but for me… I will never forget his help for the rest of my life.”

“But because Mr. Nanfeng’s account doesn’t allow private messages, I never had the chance to thank him. So today, I wanted to use Sister Zhouzhou’s stream to express my gratitude to him. And…”

She paused, but then she thought about how she was retiring anyway and cast her hesitations aside.

“Maybe some people will laugh at me! But I still want to say it. Because of that incident, I’ve always secretly liked him. I was too timid and insecure to tell anyone, but today, I’m going to be brave for once!”

Seeing Tang Butian suddenly make such a bold confession in the stream, Jiang Zhouzhou’s shock reached a new level.

[Dian: Brother Nanfeng is one lucky guy.]

[When will a beauty like this confess to me? I promise I won’t play hard to get.]

[The guy above needs someone to piss on him and wake him up.]

[Xiaomi Congee: Brother Nanfeng is one lucky guy.]

[Chenguang is a Dog: Oh ho!]

Meanwhile, Gu Nanfeng was at the office handling matters for a new project. The vibration of his phone caused him to temporarily pause his work.

He opened his phone and saw a WeChat message from the kid from the Zhou family. Gu Nanfeng raised an eyebrow. He rarely had any private interaction with that kid; this was the first time the other party had reached out to him first.

Zhou Xian: [Brother Feng, get on Shark quick! That little streamer you helped before is confessing to you in her stream right now!]
Seeing the words “that little streamer you helped,” Gu Nanfeng instinctively thought of Jiang Zhouzhou.

A confession in the stream?

His fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. He logged onto Shark and entered Jiang Zhouzhou’s stream while in invisible mode.

Jiang Zhouzhou had no idea that “Nanfeng” had already arrived. She scratched her head and said, “Brother Nanfeng isn’t in my stream right now. He can’t hear what you’re saying… Just wait a moment, let me see if I can contact him.”

Even as she spoke, Jiang Zhouzhou was already sending several private messages to “Nanfeng.”

Century Egg and Pork Congee: [Brother Nanfeng, are you there?]

Century Egg and Pork Congee: [Mr. Nanfeng?]

Century Egg and Pork Congee: [~(>_<)~]

Given the current situation, she really didn't know what to do. She could only hope the person involved would show up soon to save the day.

Meanwhile, Gu Nanfeng finally realized that the one confessing was Tang Butian, not Jiang Zhouzhou.

Looking at the private messages from Jiang Zhouzhou, the man chose to ignore them for the moment because he was in a bad mood.

To be honest, he barely had any impression of Tang Butian.

He had only helped her on a whim because he couldn't stand Gaoshan; he didn't actually care who Tang Butian was.

Seeing Jiang Zhouzhou's flustered state, Tang Butian said with a smile, "Don't panic, little sister Zhouzhou. You don't actually need to contact him. I know Mr. Nanfeng will definitely reject me, but… since I'm about to leave the industry, I wanted to voice this secret. I didn't want to leave any regrets. Sorry, I probably scared you because it was so sudden. I hope you're not angry."

Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head quickly. "I'm not angry, I wouldn't be. I think you're very brave, Sister Tiantian. If it were me… I definitely wouldn't have that much courage, unless…"

She deliberately paused, trailing off.

Tang Butian tilted her head. "Unless what?"

Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly grinned, a flash of mischief in her eyes. "Unless I lost a PK and was forced to confess as a penalty!"

Hearing this answer, Tang Butian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Okay, okay, so that's how you play it, huh?]

[Hahahahahahaha!]

[Dian: I'll remember that.]

[Chenguang is a Dog: You really are something.jpg]

[Big Rice: I often can't keep up with my Zhouzhou Daughter's train of thought. I'm not a qualified 'mom fan.']

[Ye Zi: If you're going to put it like that, Zhouzhou Baby, then I'm going to the other side to Score Up!]

Jiang Zhouzhou's cheeks puffed out instantly. "Ye Zi Baby, if you say that, I'll be heartbroken!"

[Ye Zi: No, no, no, it's all yours!]

With Jiang Zhouzhou's meddling, the originally heavy atmosphere became cheerful.

Tang Butian looked at Jiang Zhouzhou on the other side of the screen, a flicker of melancholy passing deep within her eyes.

She knew… that to Nanfeng… Jiang Zhouzhou was different.

But after connecting with Jiang Zhouzhou, she also realized…

Such a wonderful girl deserved everything she had.

[Nanfeng gifted Tang Butian a Super Rocket x1] (1,000 Fish Balls)

[Oho, the man himself is here!]

[When did Brother Nanfeng arrive?]

[He was invisible. He must have heard the whole thing.]

Seeing the gift from "Nanfeng," Tang Butian's eyes shimmered slightly.

[Nanfeng: Paying the Medical Fee on behalf of my streamer. Leaving now.]

Only then did everyone notice that the loser of this PK was actually Tang Butian.

Tang Butian smiled and said, "Thank you for the Medical Fee, Brother Nanfeng. And thank you, Zhouzhou!"

Regardless of whether Nanfeng had heard her words or not, she no longer had any regrets. After all, she hadn't expected a result; she only wanted to put a perfect period at the end of her unrequited love.

[Nanfeng: Best wishes.]
