The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 61
Chapter 61
Maomao couldn’t help but snicker as she watched the usually defiant and arrogant “Dian” suddenly turn so cowardly.
It looked like someone was about to fall hard…
The reason she had been asked to set up this group stream was likely to flush out how many Husband Fans were among Zhouzhou’s Big Brothers.
Judging by the current situation, however, the competition was quite fierce.
Maomao glanced at the person sitting at the Top Two spot on her Contribution Ranking. It was “Stray Cat,” someone who had been silently supporting her all along. They had exchanged phone numbers privately, so she dialed him directly.
The smile on her face faded slightly, replaced by a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
She had saved this number for a year but had never once dialed it.
She remembered when she had first added him on WeChat to maintain their relationship as streamer and Big Brother; he had sent his phone number along with the request.
“If you’re ever being bullied and I don’t reply to your WeChat in time, just call me and tell me to get online.”
That single sentence had once given Maomao a new sense of hope.
Now, she finally had an excuse to call this number and say the words buried deep in her heart.
The call was picked up quickly.
“Hello?” a man’s voice answered, sounding mature and steady.
Maomao gripped her phone tight, took a deep breath, and then looked into the camera.
“Brother Cat, thank you for supporting me this past year. You gave me hope again when I was at my most difficult and helpless. I used to think I was a useless person, that everyone around me hated me and stayed away… Your appearance was like the sun, letting me feel warmth while I was at my lowest. So, can I be a little more greedy… Can you stay by my side forever?”
The other end of the line fell silent.
At this point, any observant viewer could see that Maomao wasn’t saying these things just to complete a Punishment.
Jiang Zhouzhou tilted her head as she watched Maomao on the screen. For some reason, she felt a sense of caution in Maomao’s tone, yet it was laced with a desperate longing for a response.
In Maomao, she seemed to see her former self.
Afraid of being rejected, yet holding onto a sliver of hope.
People like this usually had one thing in common-they were starved for love.
So… if someone offered even a tiny spark of affection, they would be like moths to a flame, unable to stop themselves from trying to grab hold of it tightly.
[Orange Cat: If it’s Brother Cat, I guess it’s okay.]
[If it’s Brother Cat, you have my blessing.]
[You guys are overthinking it. How many Female Streamers can actually be trusted? It’s all just a show to get the Big Brothers to send more gifts.]
[I remember Slutty Cat dated a Big Brother before, didn’t she? She got dumped later. Hasn’t she learned her lesson?]
[A ‘love brain’ is the biggest obstacle to a Female Streamer’s career.]
[Stop talking nonsense. Maomao is just doing a Punishment task. Can you people just shut up?]
The man on the other end of the phone seemed to be weighing his words. He spoke slowly, “You are a person who deserves to be liked. As long as you are on Shark, I will always support you and stay by your side.”
[Orange Cat: Well said, Brother Cat. Maomao really does deserve to be liked.]
[We made it through the hardest times back then; things will only get better from here on out.]
[Even though I was originally attracted by her suggestive dancing, in the end… I stayed because of her sincerity.]
[So… did Brother Cat just tactfully reject Maomao’s confession?]
[Don’t take it too seriously. This confession was just a PK Punishment to begin with. Besides, Brother Cat’s answer was clearly meant to protect Maomao. After all, that incident back then caused such a huge scene.]
A few old fans knew exactly how much that incident had hurt Maomao. This was already the best possible outcome.
Having received her answer, a bright, cheerful smile returned to Maomao’s face. After hanging up the phone, she grinned at the camera and joked, “I knew Brother Cat was the best! Thank you, Brother Cat, for being my Top Two Big Brother today, and thank you to every fan who supports Maomao! With your company and your protection as my Guardians, Maomao really is the luckiest and happiest cat in the world.”
[Orange Cat tipped Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish with a Super Rocket*1] (1000 Fish Balls)
[Stray Cat tipped Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish with a Shark Yacht*1] (16666 Fish Balls)
[Logic Cat tipped Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish with a Private Jet*1] (500 Fish Balls)
Maomao quickly waved her hands and said, “Alright, alright, everyone stop tipping for a moment. I need to save some tickets to play the next round!”
For the next round, Maomao was planning something even more exciting.
“Zhouzhou, do you want to play a Four-player match? I’ll go pull two more people in.”
On the screen, Maomao wore a mischievous grin.
Jiang Zhouzhou had only been streaming for a short while today, so she naturally had no objections.
While Maomao went to invite the others, she took the opportunity to bring Dog Brother back into the stream and lifted Dian’s Mute.
[Nanfeng has been set as a Moderator for this stream]
[Chenguang is a Dog has been set as a Moderator for this stream]
[Ye Zi has been set as a Moderator for this stream]
[Big Rice has been set as a Moderator for this stream]
[Dog Brother’s good days have finally arrived]
[Big Rice: I’m so excited! I didn’t expect to become a Room Moderator too!]
Jiang Zhouzhou raised an eyebrow and laughed as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Of course! You’re my most precious female fan, after all!”
[Big Rice: I’m tired of saying how happy I am. From today on, I’m not a ‘Mommy Fan’ anymore; I’m going to be a ‘Wife Fan’.]
[Chenguang is a Dog: ?]
[Chenguang is a Dog: Why did the streamer make me a Room Moderator? I don’t want to be a Room Moderator. I like being kicked; I like being muted.]
[Dog Brother, you… you’re a Masochist, aren’t you?]
Jiang Zhouzhou exposed him with a beaming smile. “Stop pretending, Dog Brother. I know your tail is wagging high in the air right now!”
[Chenguang is a Dog: Fine, fine. Since the streamer set it herself, I’ll accept it with great reluctance.]
[Chenguang is a Dog tipped Century Egg and Pork Congee with a Luxury Cruise*1] (5000 Fish Balls)
Seeing his cheeky attitude, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn’t help but recall his face.
It was hard to imagine that someone with such a B King face could be so obnoxious in real life.
[Ye Zi tipped Century Egg and Pork Congee with a Shark Spaceship*1] (19999 Fish Balls)
[Ye Zi: Going to be busy again. Goodbye, baby.]
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded and waved at the camera. “Alright, goodbye, Ye Zi baby! But don’t push yourself too hard! Bye-bye~”
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Bye-bye, Ye Zi baby~]
[Nanfeng: Goodbye, Ye Zi baby~]
[Ye Zi: …]
Hearing the word “baby” coming from grown men was truly disgusting!
By this time, Maomao had already invited two other streamers to join the connection.
The screen, now split into four, became crowded. Both newcomers were male streamers with exceptionally handsome looks. The moment they appeared, the atmosphere of the entire stream shifted instantly.
[Why did Slutty Cat pull in the two great Male Bodhisattvas of Shark?]
[Damn it, we’re all men. What’s wrong with the world having one more handsome guy like me?]
[I’m going to take out a loan to sue the world. Why was I born so ugly?]
[Heh, they’re just average, really! Not even half as handsome as I am.]
[Big Rice: Why is he here?]
Seeing this Danmaku, Jiang Zhouzhou asked curiously, “Does Rice Wife know him?”
[Big Rice: I wouldn’t say I know him. I used to give him some small gifts, but then I stopped.]
As for who it was, Big Rice didn’t say explicitly.
In any case, it was all in the past, and she didn’t want her own issues to affect Zhouzhou’s stream tonight.
