Most of the viewers watching Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing’s first livestream were loyal fans of Xu Ruobing.
When they saw the two beauties so perfectly matched side by side in the Livestream Room, even some of Xu Ruobing’s fans—who only wished for her to shine alone—couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at how stunning Jiang Lai was.
She was a beauty as clear and delicate as porcelain, with soft, graceful brows and eyes, lips moist and red, even her nose was as gentle as jade.
The pure white, warm robe she wore fit her perfectly, and her smooth black hair draped over one side of her neck.
She looked elegant and refined, exuding a gentle warmth that made her appear far more beautiful than in the recorded videos.
Xu Ruobing’s image among her fans had always been like ice and jade standing on the edge of a steep cliff—so cold that even the rain touching her would freeze into icicles.
She had never been gentle. Her voice was cool and detached, her gaze distant—the absolute embodiment of a cold beauty.
Yet now, in front of everyone, she was slowly revealing tenderness. Throughout the livestream, Xu Ruobing’s eyes kept drifting toward Jiang Lai beside her.
Every time Xu Ruobing looked at Jiang Lai with that gentle expression, it was as if peach blossoms were blooming at the corners of her eyes.
The Message Board in the Livestream Room was updating at a nearly overwhelming speed with comments.
While Jiang Lai was answering questions from the viewers, Xu Ruobing reached out and brushed Jiang Lai’s falling hair to the side, exposing her graceful neck.
The way Xu Ruobing was acting now completely overturned the image her fans had held of her for so many years.
Before the livestream even ended, clips of the broadcast had already appeared on major video platforms. Some people even recorded the entire livestream flawlessly on their phones.
During the livestream, Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing hadn’t done anything inappropriate. The closest they got was leaning their shoulders together.
Two girls leaning their shoulders against each other was a common, everyday thing, but with Xu Ruobing’s gentle, watery gaze, every moment was charged with an undeniable intimacy.
Almost all the viewers had entered the Livestream Room because of Xu Ruobing. But exceptions existed—several viewers were there solely for Jiang Lai.
As the intimate scene circulated on video platforms, those few who had been watching the livestream closely were feeling extremely frustrated.
Before the livestream even began at 6:30, Jiang Lai’s sister-in-law, Chi Yingyu, was already waiting anxiously in the Livestream Room.
If Chi Yingyu hadn’t been unable to free herself from work, she would have gone to watch the livestream in person today.
She had absolutely no trust in Xu Ruobing.
The other party dared to cast such a blatantly passionate gaze at Jiang Lai in front of so many viewers—let alone what might happen when no one was watching.
Initially, Chi Yingyu had only intended to open the Livestream Room to kill time while working and keep an eye on Xu Ruobing to see if she would do anything out of line.
But before the livestream was halfway through, Chi Yingyu’s mood had plummeted to its lowest point.
She pressed her lips tightly, repeatedly dismantling and reassembling the pen in her hand. The faster her hands moved, the more chaotic her thoughts became.
By now, she couldn’t even focus on her work. She wished she could rush to the livestream venue, pull the two apart, and take her brother-in-law back.
But this was just a fleeting impulse in her heart. If she really did that, what would happen to her brother-in-law?
Siyi Na shared similar thoughts. She had been watching the Livestream Room since before it started.
Compared to Chi Yingyu’s possessiveness and impulses restrained by her concern for her brother-in-law, Siyi Na was far more straightforward.
In her view, the path Jiang Lai was taking was one with no turning back. Jiang Lai’s charm didn’t need such displays—why did she need to seek public approval and show her charm to others?
Those who could appreciate Jiang Lai’s charm were few but precious. It was enough to have just one who truly understood her.
Jiang Lai only needed to reveal her charm to herself—just to her alone.
Sitting in her office, Siyi Na watched Jiang Lai’s charm unfold before so many people. Seeing the clips of Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing livestreaming together on all the major video platforms, and the emergence of CP Fans rooting for the two within just an hour, her mind was continuously provoked.
Everything that happened today kept hitting Siyi Na’s nerves, making it impossible for her to accept that Jiang Lai, who should belong only to her, was gaining so much attention from others and slowly being marked by them.
Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing radiated a jealousy-inducing, enviable harmony in the Livestream Room.
At this moment, Siyi Na’s nerves were deeply stimulated.
She even harbored thoughts she couldn’t accept—that she very likely wouldn’t get Jiang Lai at all.
The idea that the one she loved so deeply might never be hers, not now and not in the future, stirred a childish stubbornness deep in her heart.
Siyi Na absolutely refused to allow such a thing to happen.
At this moment, the pride of the young lady inside her peaked.
The resentment between Chi Yingyu and Siyi Na was enough to reach the clouds, but their animosity didn’t affect Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing’s performance in the slightest.
It wasn’t until many viewers in the Livestream Room began to argue that Jiang Lai and Xu Ruobing took notice.
Jiang Lai had never encountered such intense quarrels before.
The Message Board was filled with viewers talking over each other, even mixing in pinyin.
Just a few minutes ago, the chat was still very harmonious, but in that short time, it had turned so chaotic.
Jiang Lai didn’t even know what the viewers were arguing about or why their emotions flared up so suddenly.
But in her mind, she knew clearly: if anything got out of control, the first person she could rely on was Xu Ruobing by her side.
What Jiang Lai couldn’t solve was just a small wave to Xu Ruobing.
Xu Ruobing almost instantly understood what the argument in the Message Board was about—it was her own devoted fans clashing with the newly formed CP Fans.
But that was fine—such things were easy to resolve as long as she gave a clear stance.
Xu Ruobing gently held Jiang Lai’s waist, pulling her closer.
Facing the many viewers in the Livestream Room, she lifted a smile and said, “Jiang Jiang, she is the most important person to me.”
