princess is glamorous in the modern day
Chapter 56: Live Broadcast?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Yu, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and listening to songs, suddenly heard Xia Wanyuanâs name.
âWho did you say?â
âRuan Nian that grandson.â Su Mei repeated.
âNo, I meant, who did he insult?â Xia Yu poked his head out of the bed curtain.
âMy goddess, Xia Wanyuan. Speaking of which, she has the same surname as you.â
âLet me take a look.â Xia Yu jumped out of bed, took Su Meiâs phone, and clicked on the live-stream replay.
Because the production team of âThe Long Balladâ had posted an official Weibo post today, it had attracted everyoneâs discussion.
Ruan Nian was currently doing a live broadcast of a very popular phone game. The reason he could stand out among all the streamers was because he had called himself the younger brother of popular celebrity Ruan Yingyu.
Therefore, after the production team released the official announcement, many people began to view Ruan Yingyu on the live-stream.
âOf course my sister is very beautiful. Sheâs the female lead of the Long Ballad,â Ruan Nian said smugly after killing a human head. He took the time to look at the comments in the live-stream.
[ What female lead? Xia Wanyuan looks much better in disguise than Ruan Yingyu. ]
[ Indeed, I donât think Ruan Yingyu acted very well. On the other hand, Xia Wanyuanâs video was very stunning. ]
There were not only fans in the live-stream but also many passers-by. Hence, under the many praises and confessions, these objective comments were very obvious.
âXia Wanyuan? Is she that bankrupt little princess of the entertainment industry?â Ruan Nian could not sit still when he saw the comments saying that Ruan Yingyu could not compare to Xia Wanyuan.
[ Hahahahahaha, thatâs right. Itâs that little princess. ]
[ Nian Nian is right. Sheâs the daughter who has to put on airs even after going bankrupt and only knows how to glare at others when acting. ]
[ Xia Wanyuan can compare to our Nian Nianâs sister?? Do you have brains? ]
After a few deliberate guidance, Ruan Nianâs fans became a little aggressive and united. Now, they were all flooding the live-stream.
âYouâll know when the drama airs. How can trash like Xia Wanyuan compare to my sister?âSeeing that the screen was filled with support, Ruan Nian smiled smugly. When my sisterâs drama was released, my live-streamâs popularity would probably rise to another level. That damned Xia Wanyuan, what could she compare to my sister?
âDoes a piece of trash like him deserve to talk about Xia Wanyuan?â Xia Yu was about to explode from anger when he saw Ruan Nianâs annoying expression. âWhich building does he live in?â Xia Yu put down his phone and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to fight.
âHey, hey, hey, Xia Yu, are you serious?â Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Mei hurriedly got off the bed and pulled Xia Yu.
He had thought that he was the only one who treated Xia Wanyuan as a goddess. Who would have thought that Xia Yu, who looked so arrogant usually, would actually chase celebrities and seemed to be crazier than him?
âXia Yu, Ruan Nian lives outside. How can a rich person live in school?â Zhang Zhe poked his head out and persuaded Xia Yu. âDonât get yourself into trouble. Ruan Nianâs live-stream is pretty popular and she has a lot of fans. If he makes you expelled, where are you going to cry?â
âTsk, with his skills that allow him to roll around in the Star Glory Bureau all year round, he still has so many brainless fans.â Upon hearing Zhang Zhe say that Ruan Nian had a lot of fans, Su Mei was disdainful.
Their dormitory mates often formed teams to play MOBA games. Their skills were quite good.
Cell phones were much simpler than computers. They would play with them normally and could reach Starlight easily. Hence, they felt disdain when they saw Ruan Nian pissing is pants in the Starlight Bureau.
Hearing Su Meiâs words, Xia Yuâs eyebrows twitched and he stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Xia Yu had calmed down, Su Mei let go of his hand.
âDoes he have a lot of fans?â Xia Yu opened Ruan Nianâs live-stream lazily. The number of fans was 1,520,000.
After watching Ruan Nianâs actions for a while, Xia Yuâs gaze gradually settled.
âIâm going to do a live broadcast too.â
A while later, Xia Yu suddenly said something that stirred the quiet dormitory again.
There were not many classes at night in college, and Xia Yu was smart to begin with. In the past, he was too lazy to attend classes properly. Recently, he had been paying more attention to classes every day. He felt that he could handle his schoolwork during the day.
I could use the time at night for a live broadcast, wasnât Ruan Nian very proud of his number of fans? Then I would snatch all of his fans and see how he could continue to be arrogant.
Xia Yu snorted and switched off his phone. He began to search for ways to become a broadcaster on Baidu.
The others in the dormitory looked at each other. âWow, I didnât expect Xia Yu to chase after celebrities so crazily!â
After ending a meeting, Lin Jing accompanied Jun Shiling to his office.
When they passed by the pantry, they saw a few employees gathered together to gossip.
âThere arenât many good television dramas to watch recently.â
âI heard that Qin Wuâs âThe Long Balladâ is going to be released soon. I heard heâs in the martial arts genre and the original novel is quite popular.â
âI just saw the publicity Weibo post by the production team. I always see on Weibo that Xia Wanyuanâs acting skills are bad, but that official photo looks pretty good.â
Jun Shiling, who was walking quickly, had just walked past the entrance of the pantry when he heard the name Xia Wanyuan. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked into the pantry.
The long-haired employee, who had wanted to say something, turned around when he saw the fear on his colleaguesâ faces. He was so frightened that his legs trembled. âBig Boss heard us gossiping in the company. Oh no, oh no.â
However, they did not expect Jun Shiling to leave after a glance. Everyone hurriedly left the pantry in silence.
Jun Shiling and Lin Jing did not speak until they entered the office. Only when Lin Jing placed a stack of documents on the table and was about to leave did he casually say something.
âThey were talking about Miss Xiaâs new drama just now. The production team just posted a set of publicity photos on Weibo not long ago.â
âAre you very free as a special assistant? I donât think the newly recruited secretary of the human resources department needs to be assigned to you anymore.â Jun Shiling glanced at Lin Jing coldly.
âIâm not. I just happened to see it. Thereâs an investment case that 1111111I need to discuss. Young Master, Iâll take my leave first.â Lin Jing put down the documents and strode out of the office.
In the empty office, Jun Shiling glanced at the thick stack of documents waiting for him to review and picked up his phone.
Weibo?
Other than the most basic contact software, there were no other apps in his phone. Jun Shiling opened the download and took the document from the side.
By the time he finished signing the document, his phone rang. The download was completed.
By the time he entered the registration phase, the nickname âJun Shilingâ that had already been occupied. Jun Shiling 1, Jun Shiling 11 had also been occupied.
After Jun Shiling entered Jun 1111111, he finally logged in.
The name Xia Wanyuan was still on the hot search list. When Jun Shiling clicked on it, the hottest topic was the official Weibo post that the production team had posted.
Jun Shiling clicked on the picture and stared at it for a long time. The second picture had a dancerâs appearance that reminded him of Xia Wanyuanâs dance that night. She was drop-dead gorgeous and beautiful.
Chapter 57: Reading
The first picture showed the little princess with clear eyes and an innocent look. The usual cool and indifferent temperament of Xia Wanyuan had been restrained, revealing the image of an extremely well-protected little girl.
Such a gaze reminded Jun Shiling of the day Xia Wanyuan had looked up at the flowers under the sea of flowers. Although the scene was different, it was still as clear as before.
The third imperial concubine in luxurious clothes had a lonely look in her eyes.
Jun Shiling opened the comments. Most of them praised her for her beauty, but there were also some sour comments. There were even those who posted # Xia Wanyuan Get Out of the Entertainment Industry #.
The more he read, the colder Jun Shilingâs eyes became. A moment later, Jun Shiling closed his Weibo and was about to call Lin Jing in when his phone rang.
âAh Ling, come back tomorrow? I miss my great-grandson so much.â
It had been more than half a month since he had seen Jun Shiling and Jun Yin. Old Master had been nagging at home for a long time. When he heard that Xia Wanyuanâs leg had recovered, he called Jun Shiling.
âGrandpa, weâll be back tomorrow.â
Not long after hanging up the phone, an uninvited person sat on the sofa again.
âHey, Young Master Jun, are you going to pretend you didnât see me sitting here?â Bo Xiao, who was dressed in a bright silver shirt, leaned on the sofa.
Knowing Bo Xiaoâs character, Jun Shiling could not be bothered with him and began reviewing the documents.
Facing an iceberg like Jun Shiling, Bo Xiao did not want to make things difficult for himself anymore. He had just returned from abroad and had just started playing the most popular phone game he had at the moment. He put on his earphones and played the game.
Hence, when Jun Shiling returned home, another person followed behind him.
Young Master, Young Master Bo Xiao.â
âUncle Wang, long time no see.â Bo Xiaoâs fox-like eyes curved into a smile.
âItâs only been a few days, Young Master Bo Xiao.â Uncle Wang walked up to him kindly.
âIs the little dumpling not back yet today?â Bo Xiao really liked that sweet and cute child Jun Yin.
âSchool ended early today. Little Master went home early and is learning how to write from Madam.â
Xia Wanyuan did not go out that day and practiced calligraphy at home for a while. When Xiao Bao came back from school, he saw Xia Wanyuanâs calligraphy. He was still a child and did not know much about strokes and strokes. He simply felt that Xia Wanyuanâs calligraphy looked good, so he insisted on pestering her to teach him.
When Jun Shiling entered the house, he saw Xia Wanyuan holding Jun Yinâs hand and writing on a piece of paper. Hearing the commotion, Xia Wanyuan turned around.
âSister-in-law,â Bo Xiao greeted. Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.
âUncle!â Xiao Bao saw Bo Xiao too, and his big eyes lit up. He liked this interesting uncle.
He threw down the brush and ran over with his short legs. However, when he was a step away from Bo Xiao, Bo Xiaoâs large palm pressed against his head.
âUncle?â Xiao Bao pursed his lips in grievance. âDoes Uncle not like me anymore?â
âLittle dumpling, your face is full of ink. Are you a little cat?â
Jun Shiling looked at Jun Yinâs ink-black face and a rare broken smile appeared in his eyes.
âAiyo, my little master, Iâll take you to wash up.â Uncle Wangâs eyes were filled with a kind smile when he saw the ink on Xiao Baoâs face.
When Xiao Bao came out of the bathroom after washing up, Bo Xiao and Jun Shiling were standing at the table, reading the words written by Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao.
âSister-in-law really wrote a good piece of calligraphy!â
Old Master Bo loved antiques and calligraphy. After he was brought back to the Bo family, Bo Xiao had been protected by Old Master Bo and had seen many famous calligraphy and paintings by him.
A beautiful set of words was not beautiful in its shape, but in its skeleton.
The two characters written by Xia Wanyuan were unrestrained, unrestrained, and had their own style. Most of the words written by women were elegant and graceful, but Xia Wanyuanâs words gave off an ancient and imposing feeling.Jun Shiling looked at the exquisite calligraphy. Even though he had seen Xia Wanyuanâs calligraphy before, he was still amazed by this womanâs calligraphy skills.
âUncle, Iâm clean.â Xiao Bao ran over and hugged Bo Xiaoâs leg.
Bo Xiao picked Xiao Bao up, âTsk, little dumpling, look at how beautiful your motherâs words are. Look at yours. You have to keep working hard.â
âHmph.â Xiao Bao was unhappy. âDaddy doesnât know how to write beautiful words. I inherited it from my Daddy. Itâs all his fault.â
âHahaha, youâre right. Itâs all your fatherâs fault.â Bo Xiao burst into laughter at the childâs honest words.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xiao Bao, who quickly crawled into Bo Xiaoâs arms. âDaddy is so naughty. I told the truth yet heâs glaring at me.â
With Bo Xiao accompanying him, Xiao Bao stopped pestering Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan and focused on playing with his toys.
After dinner, Bo Xiao left even though Uncle Wang tried to persuade him to stay in the manor.
He still had to go back and annoy those people. How could he let them sleep well?
âLingâer, Iâm a little busy at the company tonight, so I wonât be back.â
âYou havenât been back in a few days.â Mo Ling gripped her phone tightly as if she wanted to crush it.
âHey, Iâm busy with work. You have to understand me. I got someone to buy the necklace you wanted last time. Iâll bring it back for you in a few days. Iâm busy now. Bye.â
After hanging up the phone, Bo Qing took the young model by his side and secretly kissed her on the face. âCEO Bo, have another sip.â
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Mo Ling was furious. Did he really think that I didnât know what he was up to?!
âBusy? Busy hitting on women!â
âThis is karma.â A cold snort suddenly came from the door. The sudden voice startled Mo Ling.
âBo Xiao?!â
The last time Bo Xiao went home, he had gotten someone to throw away Bo Yiâs things and clean up the master bedroom. However, he did not stay at home, so Mo Ling did not bump into Bo Xiao.
The scene of Bo Yiâs big wedding five years ago was still vivid in her mind. Even though Bo Xiao was smiling now, Mo Ling felt that he was as evil as a devil.
Bo Xiao glanced at the frightened Mo Ling and the corners of his lips curled up coldly. He strode towards the bedroom upstairs and did not even spare Mo Ling a glance.However, Mo Ling felt uncomfortable all over. The things that happened many years ago mixed with Bo Xiaoâs ghostly gaze made her feel weak. Looking at the exquisitely decorated living room, for the first time, Mo Ling felt that the room was too empty.
The nanny carried Xiao Bao to take a shower. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa by the window in the bedroom and casually picked up the finance magazine beside her.
Jun Shiling was a book lover, and he had a wide range of books. Books that he had flipped through could be seen everywhere in the manor. Xia Wanyuan happened to like reading too, and since she had just arrived in the modern world, she wanted to learn more about the modern world.
The finance magazine was different from traditional books. There were many images attached to it that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.
Coincidentally, Jun Shiling walked past the door.
âJun Shiling.â A clear voice sounded. Jun Shiling stopped walking towards the study.
Chapter 58: Charm
âWhatâs wrong?â Jun Shiling stood at the door. Xiao Bao had not showered and he was not ready to enter the house.
âThereâs something I donât understand. Tell me about it.â
Xia Wanyuan had held a high position in her previous life. Now that she was in the modern world, from the original ownerâs memory, she only knew that Jun Shiling was rich, so she did not have any fear of him.
Hence, she did not know that even in the entire world, there were very few people who could be personally guided by Jun Shiling.
âWhich part?â Jun Shiling walked in and sat beside Xia Wanyuan.
A familiar masculine fragrance wafted over. Xia Wanyuan felt a little uncomfortable, as if she had been wrapped up in Jun Shilingâs territory.
âHere, I donât understand what this picture means.â Xia Wanyuan pointed at the magazine.
âYou have to look at the coordinates first.â Jun Shilingâs deep voice sounded as he patiently explained to Xia Wanyuan.
Jun Shiling had rich business combat experience. He was not limited to the photos in the magazine. Instead, he went into details and summarized the proposals he had worked on and the data he knew to explain them to Xia Wanyuan in detail.
Even an old antique like Xia Wanyuan, who did not know much about finance, was enlightened by Jun Shilingâs explanation.
Jun Shiling spoke seriously. As Xia Wanyuan listened, she tilted her head and glanced at Jun Shiling. He was wearing a white shirt with the top button buttoned, making him look extremely abstinent.
His resolute facial features were illuminated by the light, blurring his cold silhouette.
Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling, who was seriously explaining his professional knowledge, was indeed quite charming.
Just like what she had seen in those idol dramas a while ago, men who worked hard were the most attractive.
Sensing Xia Wanyuanâs sizing him up, Jun Shiling stopped his explanation and met a pair of exquisite and clear eyes. âWhatâs wrong?â
âDo you have a lot of women wooing you?â
asked Xia Wanyuan curiously. In those idol dramas, there were usually many people who chased after the male lead. People who liked Jun Shiling could probably line up all over Beijing.
Now, she felt that it was a good thing that Jun Shiling did not allow outsiders to know about their relationship. In the future, after the divorce, she could leave quietly so as not to cause trouble everywhere.
âWhy do you ask?â
Jun Shiling had never imagined that Xia Wanyuan would ask such a question after sizing him up for a long time.
âBecause youâre quite charming,â Xia Wanyuan said honestly.
When Jun Shiling heard this, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into his heart, causing layers of ripples and waves to surge in his heart.
Jun Shiling had heard countless praises and received countless rewards since he was young, but none of them had stirred him.
But this time, just Xia Wanyuanâs words made him feel an uncontrollable joy, even helplessness.
Jun Shiling clenched his fists and glanced at Xia Wanyuan, deliberately maintaining his composure and coldness.
âFlattery.â
Jun Shiling threw that sentence behind and stood up to leave.
â¦â¦.
Xia Wanyuan was a little confused. Werenât modern people quite direct in expressing themselves? Besides, I seemed to have praised Jun Shiling. How did it become flattery?
The thoughts of rich people were indeed different from ordinary people.
Jun Shiling left the bedroom quickly, but when he sat on the chair in the study, he felt that he had overreacted.
His mind was clearly filled with the content of the proposal before he went upstairs, but now, his mind was occupied by the sentence âYouâre very charmingâ and that pair of clear eyes.
Suddenly remembering that he still had a meeting, Jun Shiling dismissed all his thoughts and sat at the study table. He switched on his computer. The executives of the Jun Corporation from all over the world were already waiting in the meeting room online.
Jun Shiling glanced at the time. He was ten minutes late.
âAlright, let the meeting begin.â
After Jun Shiling spoke, everyone began to report on their work.
As for being late? How could the boss being late be considered late?
The meeting had long ended and work had been settled, but Jun Shiling felt a little uncomfortable and insisted on staying in the study until Xiao Bao came to find him.
âDaddy, why arenât you sleeping yet?â
Xiao Bao was hugging a dinosaur plushie and wearing a one-piece dinosaur pajamas. His long tail was dragging on the ground as he yawned and looked at Jun Shiling at the door.
âLetâs go.â
Jun Shiling went forward and pulled Xiao Bao into the bedroom.
Xia Wanyuan had already laid down, and her gaze was extremely natural. However, Jun Shiling felt a little displeased when he saw how honest she was.
When he heard that he was going to visit his great-grandfather today, Xiao Bao woke up very early and even wore his favorite Pikachu suit.
Xia Wanyuan was wearing a light-colored knitted dress, and the pearls around her ears added a hint of gentleness.
âMommy, youâre the most beautiful person in the world.â The kindergarten teacher had said that mothers were noble and had to praise their mothers often. Xiao Bao had perfectly carried out the kindergarten teacherâs teachings.
âYouâre the cutest baby too.â Xia Wanyuan was tickled by Xiao Baoâs praise and patted his head.
When they arrived at the alley where Old Master Lin lived, it was not as quiet as the last time they were here.
The car drove into the alley and was surrounded by rows of guards.
There were also a few ordinary-looking cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard house. However, their car plate numbers were either Beijing A or Beijing A.G.
Chapter 59: Guest
The chauffeur, who was driving skillfully, subconsciously trembled when he saw the car plate. His hand, which was holding the steering wheel, was sweating as he hurriedly slowed the car.
Jun Shiling glanced at the car plate number. Jun Yin, who was beside him, was fidgeting around. He couldnât wait to get out of the car and find his great-grandfather.
âWe have a guest today, so behave yourself,â Jun Shiling warned Jun Yin in a low voice.
âOkay, Daddy.â Xiao Bao withdrew his head from the window and answered obediently.
âYoung Master, Madam.â Uncle Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuanâs hand in one hand and Jun Shilingâs hand in the other as they walked over. The cold Jun Shiling, the peerless Xia Wanyuan, and the red-lipped and white-toothed little dumpling were truly a harmonious and perfect family.
Uncle Liu looked at them and his eyes were filled with smiles.
âUncle Liu!ââ Grandpa Liu!â
âOld Master is inside. Some of his comrades are here today too,â Uncle Liu said as he led Jun Shiling in.
The fragrance of tea lingered in the courtyard. The old master sat under the sycamore tree with three hale and hearty elders sitting beside him.
âGreat-grandfather!â
When Xiao Bao saw the Old Master, he instantly forgot Jun Shilingâs instructions and ran to him.
âOh, my sweetheart.â The old man was so happy when he saw Xiao Bao that his beard curled up.
âIs this your precious great-grandson?â When the person beside the old man saw Xiao Baoâs fair and tender appearance, he immediately liked this younger generation.
âCome, this is your Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, and Grandpa Mu.â The old man patted Xiao Baoâs head, signaling him to greet them.
âGrandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, Grandpa Mu.â Xiao Bao poked his head out of the old manâs arms and called out to the benevolent old men.âHow obedient.â The few elders looked at the old man enviously. They were all of the same age but he already had such an adorable great-grandson. Even until now, they had yet to find their own granddaughter-in-law.
âThis is my grandson, my granddaughter-in-law.â
Ever since Old Master Jun abdicated five years ago, he had rarely interacted with the outside world. His old comrades were usually busy too. It had only been a year since they had slowly stepped down from their important positions. They could finally gather together today.
âThis grandson of yours is amazing.â The few elders looked at Jun Shiling in approval. This Jun familyâs younger generation was indeed outstanding. The industry chain touched on all aspects and had a decisive impact on the entire countryâs economy.
From the moment she entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had noticed the few plainly dressed elders.
From them, Xia Wanyuan could feel the familiar aura of a leader. Unlike Jun Shiling, they were calm and reserved, having been in the political world for a long time.
While Xia Wanyuan was sizing them up, the few old men also noticed Xia Wanyuan, who was beside Jun Shiling.
To people like them who had been in the political world for their entire lives, Xia Wanyuanâs beauty was nothing special.
On the other hand, Xia Wanyuanâs clean and composed aura made their eyes light up.
A girl this age could have such a bearing and her aura was restrained, but standing beside Jun Shiling, who had a strong aura, she was not inferior at all. Instead, she seemed to be on par with him.
âXiao Jun, not only do you have good taste in business, but you also have such good taste in finding a wife,â Old Master Mu said to Jun Shiling half-jokingly and half-seriously.
If those brats in my family were half as outstanding as Jun Shiling, I wouldnât have to worry.
âUncle Mu, youâre too kind.â
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan but did not retort. Instead, he agreed with Old Master Mu.
It had been a long time since the old master had seen his comrades. After Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had lunch, they brought Xiao Bao back to the manor, leaving the time for the few old masters.
âOld Jun, which family raised this granddaughter-in-law of yours? What a great bearing. Iâll go to this house tomorrow to find a fiancée for my grandson.âHearing Old Master Muâs words, Old Master Jun recalled the family who had raised Xia Wanyuan and couldnât help but laugh.
âMy granddaughter-in-law is a girl from an ordinary family.â Old Master Jun stroked his beard smugly. âDamn, speaking of which, my grandson has good taste.â
âOld Master, the word âsmugâ is written all over your face.â Old Master Mu was rather emotional. âItâs really not easy to get such a woman from an ordinary family.â
However, he could only be envious. Other peopleâs grandson really knew how to choose the grand daughter-in-law.
That night, the younger generation of the Mu family received a scolding from the Old Master for no apparent reason.
There were so many guests that Xia Wanyuan couldnât even finish her meal properly. Before the car drove back to the manor, she felt a little hungry.
âXiao Bao, are you full?â
Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Baoâs adorable little face.
âMommy, Iâm full!â Xiao Bao looked up, his big eyes begging for praise. âI ate two big bowls of rice! Great-grandfather even put a lot of meat in my bowl!â
ââ¦â¦.â
Xia Wanyuan paused for a moment before praising Xiao Bao. âMm, thatâs great.â
After receiving the praise, Xiao Bao happily continued to read his cartoon book.
Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. Forget it, I will eat later.
Jun Shiling had noticed that Xia Wanyuan had only eaten half a bowl of rice when he was eating. Hence, when he saw Xia Wanyuan asking Xiao Bao if he was hungry, a smile appeared in his eyes.
While Xia Wanyuan was reading the cartoon book with Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling picked up his phone and sent a message.
When the car drove back to the manor, she smelled an overwhelming fragrance the moment she entered the house.
âWhy did Nanny Li cook today?â
Xia Wanyuan asked curiously, her appetite aroused by the fragrance of the food.
âYoung Master instructed me.â Nanny Li brought the cutlery over.
âOh.â Xia Wanyuan took the bowl and chopsticks, only to see Jun Shiling walking straight upstairs to the study.
âJun Shiling, didnât you instruct her? Come and eat,â Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling.
ââ¦â
Jun Shiling paused and walked back to the table.
Xia Wanyuan ate another bowl, but Jun Shiling only ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.
âThe future superstar of the broadcasting industry is about to be born! Brothers, are you looking forward to it?â Su Mei and the others surrounded Xia Yuâs bed and watched him tinkering with the registered host.
âF*ck you,â Xia Yu scolded Su Mei jokingly.
âXia Yu, what are you going to broadcast?â Yang Lin asked curiously.
âThe popular mobile game now? Doesnât Ruan Nian play that too?â Xia Yu sat on the bed with his legs crossed. His eyes were filled with disdain when he spoke of Ruan Nian.
âYouâre definitely more popular than him. Really, Xia Yu, with your face, youâre definitely popular.â
Xia Yu was good-looking and looked a little like Xia Wanyuan. Over the past few days, countless girls had secretly admired him.
âTsk, how can that piece of trash be compared to me?â Thinking of how Ruan Nian had scolded Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu was furious.
Chapter 60: When the Nationâs Younger Brother Comes
After preparing the cameras and sound cards, Xia Yu waved at Su Mei and the rest. âGo, go, go back to your beds.â
âAlright, Iâll be your first viewer on the live-stream.â
His roommates returned to their beds and searched for Xia Yuâs live-stream ID. Hence, before Xia Yu could start the broadcast, he received four subscriptions, including himself.
âIâm starting the broadcast.â Xia Yu held the mouse and was about to press the button to start the live broadcast when he felt a little nervous.
âLetâs go, letâs go. Xia Yu, youâre the next live streamer! Iâm Mr. Bigâs roommate now.â
âThen Iâm Mr. Bigâs top bunk.â
Everyoneâs teasing made Xia Yu less nervous.
âHello, everyone. Iâm the broadcaster, Xiaoyu.â
When Xia Yu searched for the streamer guide online, he saw that there was a soundproof curtain on someoneâs list. To prevent disturbing Yang Linâs studies, Xia Yu also bought a curtain. The soundproof effect was not bad.
[ Wow, the hostâs voice is really nice! ]
[ The most handsome person in the world of streamers! ]
[ I love you, broadcaster! ]
[ I can do it. ]
Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, the comments had already been flooded. Xia Yu looked at the number of viewers backstage speechlessly. The real audience was in their dormitory.
Since it was a gaming live-stream, Xia Yu was too lazy to show his face. However, the platform said that the camera would attract more people, so Xia Yu pointed the camera at his hand and displayed the live-stream on his phone.
Xia Yu had not played his account for long and was still in Starlight.
Xia Yu, who had played all kinds of games since he was young, was very proficient in Kingâs Glory. He liked heroes who had high explosive power and high damage, which was why he had gotten an assassin.
Ten minutes later, the results were 12-0-5. Xia Yu looked up and saw the number of viewers in the backstage. 5.
In other words, there were only two audiences who might not be real.
âWhy is my popularity so low?â Xia Yu pulled open the soundproof curtain and poked his head out to ask Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe usually watched more live streams and knew more.
âItâs very normal for a newbie like you. Typically, a new streamer wouldnât be that popular even when theyâve just started broadcasting. That is unless they receive large amounts of gifts from all the platforms. That way, they will be more popular.â
Zhang Zhe felt that Xia Yu would become popular sooner or later. After all, they played games together. Xia Yuâs reflexes were fast, his hand speed was fast, and his playing style was extremely fierce. Many people liked this type of play in Esports videos.
âOh.â After hearing Zhang Zheâs words, Xia Yu seemed to be in thought and shrank back into the bed.
Five minutes later, Bunny Teeth broadcasted a message to the entire platform.
âI have the money to bury a treasure chest in Xiaoyuâs live-stream. Everyone, come and dig for treasure!â
When fans rewarded the broadcaster with treasure chests that could attract the entire platformâs broadcast, the entire platformâs audience could see this piece of news. There were all kinds of gold and silver coins in treasure chests, so they were very popular gifts.
There was only one drawback to this item, and that was its price. A treasure chest was worth 5,000 RMB, and it was exclusive to ballers.
Looking at his rich ID, Su Mei, Zhang Zhe, and Yang Lin were all confused. This ID was their alternate account that they had seen Xia Yu register with half an hour ago.
Ha, the world of the rich was indeed colorful.
Obviously, the power of money was great. A treasure chest instantly attracted a large number of people, and the number of viewers backstage instantly increased from 3 to 350.
In the live-stream, the assassin was lying in ambush in the grass by the river. The archer opposite him tried to clear the troops. Hetook a step forward and took two steps back.
Huh? No one seemed to have caught him?
With that, the little braised egg was relieved and took smug steps towards the river. Unexpectedly, a tiger instantly ran out from the grass and made the little braised egg fall to the ground with a peaceful face within three moves.
The opposing assassin and mage rushed over to support him. The tiger, who had killed the little braised egg without losing any health, turned around, and with exquisite movement and fierce maneuvering, took three more kills.
At the same time, the announcement âMy tiger has taken down four killsâ sounded in the game.
[ Amazing! ]
[ NB! ]
[ Yes, yes. This positioning is very exquisite. ]
[ Thereâs something. ]
The audience who had come for the treasure chest were attracted by Xia Yuâs actions.
As the most popular game in the world, Mobile Legends had many fans, including a large number of female gamers. At that moment, not only were the female gamers in the live-stream shocked by Xia Yuâs skills, but they were also shocked by the well-defined hands in the camera.
His fair and slender hands moved quickly as he played the game.
[ Iâm satisfied with his hand control. ]
[ Mommy, this hand, Iâm gone. ]
[ I really want to know what a broadcaster with such beautiful hands looks like. I feel like heâs a sunny little handsome guy. ]
[ Hehe, what a love-struck fool. Would he not show his face if he was handsome? He must be a fatso. ]
[ Person in front, you must be jealous. Youâre the one who is fat and should stay at home. ]
The comments were still noisy. Xia Yu had already wiped out five of his teammates and destroyed the crystal on the other end with the five kill points.
âVictory!â
The sign of victory appeared, and the results exceeded 100% of the players in the same level. The comments flooded with 666.
However, some people scoffed when they saw Xia Yuâs level [ Tsk, itâs just a low-end game in Star Glory. How can you spam 666 like this? ]
[ Thatâs it?? ]
[ Low-end game. ]
Indeed, on this live-stream platform where streamers often had 100 stars, Starlight seemed a little low.
âI just started playing. Come and see if itâs Star Glory in a few days.â
Xia Yu was not a patient person. Seeing that the comments were questioning him, he retorted.
He was a young man with a clear and melodious voice. The end of his sentence was slightly higher with a hint of arrogance, but it did not make him feel arrogant. Instead, it was like water bubbling under the summer sun, refreshing the heart.
[ AHHHHH! Iâm gone! ]
[ This young voice, Iâm dead!!!! ]
[ F*ck streamer, if you say something more and Iâll send you presents! ]
[ Tsk, what are you being arrogant for? Donât think that you can get a subscription just because youâre goading me. I just donât want to look at you. Youâre too arrogant. ]
[ Is the person in front sick? Didnât you come from Star Glory? ]
The majority of the gamers who were watching the live-stream were also at the normal level. The comments directed at Starlight triggered public anger, and under everyoneâs joint report, they ran away dejectedly.
Facing the screams on the screen, Xia Yu was a little confused. âIsnât this a gaming live broadcast? Why do they keep asking me to speak?â
At that moment, Xia Yuâs phone rang.
Xia Yu put down the mouse and picked up the phone. The comments were crying because Xia Yuâs hand had left the camera.
Then, everyone heard the clear voice of a young man in the quiet live-stream. âSister.â
By the time Xia Yu returned from Xia Wanyuanâs call, the comments in the live-stream had doubled.
[ Brother! Iâm here! ]
[ Ahh! Brother, why did you kill me?]
[ Iâm dead! ]
[ Little Brother! Iâll give my life to you! ]
At the same time, many fireworks exploded in the live-stream.
