The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 78
Chapter 78
At the words from “Mingri Fangzhou,” Su Xiaoyao’s expression turned ugly.
“If we don’t keep going, doesn’t that mean I lose…?”
She sniffled and said willfully, “I don’t care. I refuse to lose to her. She’s just some ordinary Female Streamer. How could I possibly lose to her? If my girls find out, how embarrassing would that be!”
[Come to Shark Only for Yao Bao: Don’t be stubborn. Half of the money you tip goes to the platform anyway. We might as well use it to buy you a few more bags.]
[User Account Cancelled: The other side’s Top One through Top Six have all broken ten million points. If we want to overtake them, that means our own Top Six would have to throw in millions too.]
[It’s just a one-month suspension. You only stream for fun anyway. There’s no need to care so much about winning or losing.]
After “Mingri Fangzhou” spoke up, no one wanted to keep sending gifts anymore.
To support Su Xiaoyao today, some people had already spent over a million. It was not a huge amount to them, but if they continued, it would no longer be worth it.
Especially since the other Female Streamer’s Big Brothers and Big Sisters were different from them. They were only here to show support, while the other side was full of genuinely powerful spenders.
[Mingri Fangzhou: All right. This ends here.]
Once he said that, Su Xiaoyao’s PK Health Bar stopped moving.
Watching the PK enter its countdown, Su Xiaoyao could only stare anxiously, powerless to do anything.
The PK ended, and the final result came as no surprise.
“We won!”
Jiang Zhouzhou’s jubilant voice rang in everyone’s ears, infecting the whole room with her excitement.
She pulled out a large confetti popper. The instant she tugged the string, colorful foil pieces burst out like fireworks, scattering through the air before twinkling like falling stars, slowly lighting up her eyes with strange, brilliant colors.
With her eyes curved into crescents, she said, “Zhouzhou’s brothers and sisters are seriously amazing!”
There was a tiny hint of smugness in her delighted eyes. She was clearly praising others, yet her face carried a little expression that seemed to be asking for praise too.
As if she were saying: Whose brothers and sisters are this amazing?
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Zhouzhou is absolutely right. Zhouzhou’s brothers and sisters are the best, especially Brother Cockroach.]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: …]
[Xiaomi Congee: …]
[Nanfeng: Are you sure?]
[Big Rice: Brother Cockroach, you… have no shame.]
[Shen Shi Ba Tao Fang: I don’t have anything nice to say, so I’ll shut up.]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: Your opinion doesn’t count. The streamer has to say that herself for it to count. @Sexy Mother Cockroach]
[Xiaomi Congee: Then who does Zhouzhou think is the most amazing?]
Jiang Zhouzhou was in the middle of celebrating her PK victory when she saw several people start arguing in the Danmaku.
“Uh… you’re all amazing, all amazing.”
She blinked, looking honest to a fault.
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: That perfunctory?]
[Nanfeng: Pick the most amazing one.]
[Big Rice: I advise you all to have some self-awareness. After all, I’m the only wife fan here.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Shouldn’t the Family Head be ranked first?]
[Xiaomi Congee: Master of keeping the peace.]
[Hahahahaha, are the Husband Fans and wife fans fighting now?]
[I’m a simple mutt, and I love watching this.]
In the livestream room, there was also a crowd of spectators who loved watching drama and were eagerly waiting to see how Jiang Zhouzhou would handle this situation.
Looking guilty, Jiang Zhouzhou said, “The PK is over. I’ll go say hello to the other side first.”
She turned the voice chat back on. On the other side, Su Xiaoyao’s face was dark, her eyes full of displeasure.
“A loss is a loss. I accept the bet and the consequences. I’ll stop streaming right now,” Su Xiaoyao said, sounding stifled and aggrieved.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhouzhou hurriedly stopped her. “Don’t end the stream yet. I’ll go send you a Medical Fee.”
Confusion flashed through Su Xiaoyao’s eyes. “Medical Fee?”
It was her first day streaming, so she still had no idea what that was.
Jiang Zhouzhou explained, “After a PK between two people ends, the winner sends the loser a Medical Fee. It’s a kind of compensation.”
She ran over to Su Xiaoyao’s livestream room and very generously sent a Super Rocket.
[Century Egg and Pork Congee tipped Su Xiaoyao 1 Super Rocket] (1,000 Fish Balls)
After receiving the gift from Jiang Zhouzhou, Su Xiaoyao was so thrown off that she didn’t know what to do.
“I never thought you… you were actually kind of nice.”
[Mingri Fangzhou: …]
[Come to Shark Only for Yao Bao: …]
[User Account Cancelled: …]
The other side had been openly mocking her, and what did she do? She went and handed them a good-person card.
At this point in the match, it would have been one thing not to send the Medical Fee. But sending it now was practically grinding their dignity into the floor.
Still, they knew they were in the wrong. After all, they had been the ones acting aggressive first.
[Mingri Fangzhou: The streamer on the other side is kind of interesting]
[User Account Cancelled: Pretty devious…]
[Yaoyao is totally outmatched]
Before Jiang Zhouzhou ended the connection, she waved at the camera and said with a smile, “Then I’ll see you in a month! Bye-bye~”
The corner of Su Xiaoyao’s mouth twitched. She wanted to take back what she’d just said.
This “Century Egg and Pork Congee” wasn’t nice at all. She had a wicked streak!
Once the call disconnected, only Jiang Zhouzhou remained on the screen.
[I Love Drinking Porridge: Su Xiaoyao is so unlucky. She got poisoned by the Black-hearted Preserved Egg]
[She probably won’t drink Century Egg and Pork Congee ever again in her life]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: As long as I think it tastes good]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: Now that the preserved egg is back, let’s continue the topic from earlier]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: So who’s the strongest?]
Jiang Zhouzhou had thought she had safely dodged the previous topic, only for Dog Brother to drag it right back.
She huffed. “I won’t say who’s the strongest, but I do know who’s the doggiest.”
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: Oho, who’s so unlucky?]
[Nanfeng: Definitely not me]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Definitely not me]
[Xiaomi Congee: Definitely not me]
[Big Rice: Not me, and it’s even more impossible for Sister Yu]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: ?]
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the Danmaku and raised an eyebrow. “Mm-hmm. Looks like everyone already knows, so I won’t say it outright!”
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: (꒪Д꒪)]
[Big Rice: Hahahahaha, Dog Brother, you deserve to have fallen this low]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother: This preserved egg sure holds a grudge. I’m scared, I’m scared]
[Zhouzhou’s Dog Brother tipped the streamer Bunny Ears *99] (10 Fish Balls)
With the Bunny Ears on, Jiang Zhouzhou looked obedient and adorable. She shook her head, going along with the Bunny Ears effect bobbing up and down, and said with a bright smile, “For the sake of the Bunny Ears, I forgive Dog Brother!”
For the rest of the time, she didn’t plan on going into another PK.
Not only did she need a break, but everyone’s wallets did too.
Every time Jiang Zhouzhou looked at the tips flowing in like water, it felt like she was dreaming.
She found a song in her playlist and clicked play.
“I’ll sing everyone a song! Thank you all for supporting Zhouzhou today. Meeting all of you makes me feel incredibly lucky.”
As the accompaniment began, her gentle, soothing voice flowed like a murmuring stream. Everyone in the livestream room set aside their restlessness and listened carefully.
Her singing technique couldn’t be considered particularly good, and there was no way to compare her to those streamers who specialized in singing. But her voice was lovely, and when she sang, she had a style that belonged uniquely to her, making people unable to help being drawn in…
…
After today’s livestream ended, Jiang Zhouzhou found that faded family photo.
Her fingertips brushed over the faces that had already gone blurry, and distant memories surfaced on their own.
That day, she had secretly gotten hold of her grandmother’s phone, dialed the number she knew by heart, and waited excitedly for the other person to pick up.
The first call was rejected. The second was rejected. The third…
Then the other person’s impatient voice came through.
“Can you stop disturbing my life? I’ve already divorced your dad. Your guardian now is him. You have nothing to do with me anymore. Can you just get out of my life completely and stop bothering me?”
“Really, I truly hate every single one of you Jiangs. Your dad, your grandmother, and you.”
Although Jiang Zhouzhou had been young then, she could already hear the deep loathing her mother felt for her.
Before hanging up, she said one last thing, cautiously and softly.
“Mom, happy Mother’s Day…”
