The live broadcast didn’t last too long.
After about an hour, Ye Xiqiu, who had intermittently sung many nursery rhymes and popular songs, was already a bit tired.
It was time to end the stream.
“Bye bye~ my babies in the streaming room, Shengxia is a little hungry, so I’m going offline to eat dinner.”
“Huh? No way, I can’t eat in the streaming room… I don’t smack my lips when I eat, alright! Don’t talk nonsense… Whatever, do as you like.”
“See you tomorrow.”
After finishing the stream, Ye Xiqiu stretched in her gaming chair and let out a big sigh.
“Wow… streaming is really tiring, especially when Dongxue isn’t around… Hmm, it’s precisely because Dongxue isn’t supervising that I have to work even harder at streaming.”
After stretching a bit, Ye Xiqiu used the desk to move herself and the gaming chair to the window, gently pushing it open.
The crisp air entered, stirring the stagnant air of the bedroom and injecting fresh vitality into the girl’s long-seated body.
Ye Xiqiu returned to the screen and, as usual, began reading private messages.
That friend named “A Tangerine Tree by the River” still hadn’t sent a message.
The girl was used to it, wasn’t discouraged, and continued reading.
It had to be said, netizens really were creative, often coming up with jokes that made Ye Xiqiu laugh without being offensive.
For example, the “Gratitude Lesson” about Grandma Dongxue using a stone to knock down a satellite from the sky—this was because Ye Xiqiu often said in the streaming room that Dongxue shone like the sun.
Or the one about how when Shengxia was little, Dongxue locked her in the house, and when she wanted to open the door and go out, she found that the door couldn’t be opened from that side—things like that.
Many jokes Ye Xiqiu didn’t understand, but instinctively she wanted to laugh, and most of these private messages were teasing her overly intimate relationship with Dongxue.
They hadn’t revealed their relationship in the streaming room, but the fans all treated them as a couple, or… a more forbidden relationship?
Dongxue might not care, or might not have noticed, but Ye Xiqiu was very aware, yet pretended not to see, and even hoped they would say more.
It would be best to make the whole world think Dongxue and Shengxia were a couple, best to make it so that even if Dongxue wanted to deny it, she couldn’t be believed, and would be forced to be with Shengxia.
Was this a bit too selfish?
Hmm, maybe Dongxue wouldn’t mind either…
After all, in many anime, fairies have lifespans of at least thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Maybe Dongxue existed back when humans were still playing with rocks on the grasslands.
Thinking of Dongxue coming from the Fairy Realm and finding that humans in this world didn’t even know how to wear clothes, Ye Xiqiu wanted to laugh.
It’s totally a different art style, right!
While thinking, Ye Xiqiu continued scrolling and found an unusual private message.
This private message was neither a greeting nor a joke, but a snippet of lyrics.
“Insects fly, flowers sleep, a pair or two makes it beautiful… not caring about east, west, south, north.”
This was the second half of the song “Insects Fly” that Ye Xiqiu hadn’t sung in the streaming room.
Who was she?
Why did she know this song?
The girl subconsciously looked up at her ID—Luoshui Shaonv.
Was she Dongxue?
No, impossible.
Ye Xiqiu denied this thought.
If the other person was Dongxue, she could simply say hello and add her as a friend directly.
She knew I could never refuse her.
Even if she wanted to secretly add me as a friend to test my loyalty or something… well, we’re not really a couple yet…
In any case, she wouldn’t use this song, because that would make me suspicious.
But other than Dongxue, who else would know this song?
Ye Xiqiu frowned, thinking seriously.
She had sung this song for the first time in the streaming room.
The fans definitely didn’t know it.
Even she herself had only learned it a few days ago.
So logically, the only ones who knew these lyrics were herself and Dongxue.
Unless…
Ye Xiqiu suddenly thought of something.
Unless she had also seen a fairy, or to be more direct, she had seen Dongxue!
This thought didn’t encourage Ye Xiqiu; on the contrary, she felt uneasy.
As someone with a disability, Ye Xiqiu was already a girl with a severe lack of security.
Although she wanted to know more about Dongxue, she was more afraid of seeing… what if Dongxue had another girlfriend, or a legitimate girlfriend?
What would she do?
***
I should ask first.
“Hello, may I ask where you learned the lyrics to this song?”
Within ten seconds of Ye Xiqiu sending the message, the other party replied.
“Are you from Haicheng?”
The girl blinked in confusion.
Strange, had she ever revealed such private information in the streaming room?
There should be, otherwise how would she know?
Although the simple-minded Ye Xiqiu often heavily browsed the internet due to her physical condition, because of the world’s overly strict internet policies, the girl knew little about concepts like doxxing, and didn’t immediately make the connection.
She pondered the other’s thoughts and then cautiously asked, “Excuse me, are you also from Haicheng?”
“Do you have time tomorrow?”
“Luoshui Shaonv” didn’t answer directly, but replied with a seemingly strange sentence.
Why was she asking that?
Ye Xiqiu didn’t quite understand, but still replied, “Tomorrow morning I have to film a vlog with Dongxue. Tomorrow afternoon, I should be free.”
—It seemed that the most important thing for Ye Xiqiu now was to download a national anti-fraud app.
After she sent this message, the other party suddenly stopped replying.
It seemed that the word “Dongxue” made her think of something, so she fell silent.
Just when Ye Xiqiu thought the other person might be busy and unable to reply, another message popped up on the chat page.
“Tomorrow afternoon, at the southeast small gate of Aidelisa College, can we meet there?”
If Ye Xiqiu hadn’t been unable to attend school due to her disability, she would have known what the southeast small gate of Aidelisa College meant.
That place meant desolation, meant there were almost no passersby around, meant that if something happened, it would be hard to get help from others.
It was the area most prone to accidents at Aidelisa College.
But the girl thought that meeting near the school should be fine.
Mainly, she wanted to ask the other person about some things…
For example, did she know Dongxue?
Why did she know this song?
Why did she want to meet me?
Was it because she had some relationship with Dongxue?
Or…
The girl’s keen sixth sense gave her an answer she could hardly believe.
Could the other person be Dongxue’s kept girlfriend on the side, the mistress?
Or maybe she was the main, and I was the mistress.
This thought was absurd, but Ye Xiqiu felt it might be the most likely answer.
So…
She hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed the Enter key.
“Okay, let’s meet there tomorrow at 1 PM.”
