Volume 1, Chapter 22: Blindfolded Vote-Seeking

"Still watching? Is this area wiped clean enough? Do I need to wipe a bit more?"

"Haha, is this what you call 'wiping the edge'? I've learned something new!" Yu Yansui's eyes curved into crescent moons, clearly delighted.

"Sweetie, have you been charmed by your big sister? Keep a close eye on your 'Big Brother,' or I might just steal his soul. Oh my, you naughty boys, I knew you loved watching this." After Baobao said this, she theatrically covered her face with a bashful expression.

"Ahem, since you're so satisfied, it wouldn't be too much to ask for some medical expenses, would it?"

Lin Hang said the big brothers would handle the medical expenses, but who should actually send them? Maybe she should do it herself. Thinking this, Yu Yansui picked up her phone and topped up her account.

[(Mod) King: Little one?]
[(Mod) Jiuli: Are you topping up?]
[(Mod) Wanfeng: Let me do it.]
[(Mod) Wanfeng: Suisui, don't top up. I'll send it.]
[Wanfeng gifted the streamer Helicopter * 2] (3000)

After sending the gift, Wanfeng left cleanly and efficiently.

"Thanks to Suisui's Big Brother for the big helicopter! I've followed you, Suisui. Let's play together sometime."

"Sure, goodbye."

After disconnecting from Baobao, the stream fell into a long silence.

[Xiang Yunduan: Silence is the Cambridge night of this evening.]
[Sang You: It's so cold.]

Yu Yansui scratched her head awkwardly. The truth was, she really didn't know what to say and desperately needed someone to save her.

"Uh, I heard Li Suzhi's new song 'Encountering Stars' is very popular lately. Shall we listen to it?"

The song soon began to play in the stream. The melody was cheerful and sweet, and Yu Yansui fell in love with it after hearing just the intro, humming along to Li Suzhi's voice.

[(Mod) Jiuli: Is it good?]

"It's great! As expected of a top-tier musical genius. I'm going to put this on repeat a hundred times!"

[(Mod) King: Good.]
[(Mod) Jiuli: It seems you really like it; he has received your affection.]
[(Mod) Wanfeng: Why are you so pretentious?]
[(Mod) Jiuli: So sour, tsk tsk.]

"Wait until I learn it. Tomorrow in the stream, I'll sing it for you all with piano accompaniment."

[(Mod) Jiuli: Then I shall look forward to it?]

"Rest assured, I won't ruin the original."

Just then, Lin Hang requested a PK battle, and Yu Yansui accepted.

"Oi, little girl, did you miss your brother?"

Yu Yansui feigned disgust and rolled her eyes. "Not at all."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you didn't miss me; I missed you."

[(Mod) Wanfeng: Do I not exist? Flirting with Suisui right in front of me.]

Wanfeng paid to have his comment pinned to the top of the screen. Seeing this, Lin Hang guiltily changed the subject. "Suisui, want to do a PK round? Given our relationship, we won't play hard; it's just for pure entertainment."

"Okay, what are we playing?"

"Blindfolded vote-begging. The loser has to showcase a talent."

After the two agreed on the rules, Yu Yansui found a small pink rabbit eye mask to cover her eyes, but she paused when she saw a comment from Jiuli.

[(Mod) Jiuli: Little sweetheart, try to solicit votes yourself. It feels like every time we PK, we are the ones leading the charge, as if we brothers are the ones PK-ing on stream.]

Yu Yansui stuck out her tongue sheepishly, chuckled, and then put on the eye mask.

"I know now, I'll learn."

Lin Hang: "Little Flying Heroes, our side can't just rely on the Big Brothers. It's time to test our team's cohesion. Golden 30 seconds—those with hearts, send some hearts; those with kisses, throw a kiss. If you can throw a rabbit, that would be even better."

Yu Yansui was worrying about what Jiuli said, but hearing Lin Hang's pitch, she had a flash of inspiration and adopted a playful, elementary-school-like style.

"Little Wheat Ears babies, we can't just rely on the brothers. Our cohesion is super strong! Babies, if you have hearts, send some hearts; if you have kisses, throw a kiss; and if you have bunnies, you can give Suisui a bunny too."

After saying this, Yu Yansui made a heart shape with her hands against her cheeks, acting cute.

Hearing Jiuli's earlier words, the three brothers stayed quiet and didn't send any big gifts. However, Yu Yansui's ability to win fans was impressive, and with the guidance of Sang You and Haoduoyu, the "Little Wheat Ears" in the stream sent plenty of small gifts, and even some passersby contributed.

Seeing that the small gifts were coming in, Lin Hang started his performance. He found a gong and a mallet from somewhere and struck it deafeningly.

"Brothers and sisters, our team's cohesion is terrifyingly strong. Now it's your turn to shine! Is anyone willing to gift a sports car to help 'Hangzi' get to work?"

"Great! Thanks to my 'Ni Die' for the big sports car! Oh! Since we have a sports car, how about a 'Setting Sail for Love'? Today, I, Hangzi, am going to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun."

After thanking Ni Die, Lin Hang struck the gong a few more times. The chat was filled with laughter, and fans kept posting mocking comments because none of the big brothers were playing along with Lin Hang. The very brother he called out started throwing "stinky eggs" at him in the stream, one after another.

Yu Yansui's little ears twitched. She seemed to have taken it all in and started imitating him with a flourish.

"Brothers, Little Wheat Ears, you are terrifyingly strong. Now it's your turn to shine! Is anyone willing to gift a plane to help Suisui take flight?"

This time, Yu Yansui made a giant heart shape over her head. "Thanks to Brother Xiaofeng for the plane! Brother Xiaofeng is the best! Clang-clang! You can even give Suisui a plane, so does Suisui also want Brother Xiaofeng's custom gift, 'Moon Filling the Galaxy'? Please?"

Of the three men, Suisui only called out his name. What did that mean? It meant he was the most special.

Yan Huaifeng was hooked, and the gift was sent immediately.

[(Mod) Wanfeng: Alright, alright, take it!]
[Wanfeng gifted the streamer Private Jet * 1] (600)
[Wanfeng gifted the streamer Moon Filling the Galaxy * 1] (58888)
[Sang You: Another day of shipping the Prince Consort and the Princess.]
[Haoduoyu: If this isn't love, what is? She only called us the Prince Consort among the three brothers, hahaha.]

"Oh my, Suisui, you're going to break me like this. I'm going to charge you copyright fees!"

Yu Yansui shook her head. "No way, I'm just making rational use of resources, okay?"

Lin Hang curled his lips. "Mother, bring up our ancestral party popper. Today, I will display this party popper for the first brother who gifts me a Carnival~"

"Bang—"

Purple petals exploded across the screen, and a few landed on Lin Hang's head. He struck a pose of anticipation.

[Hengchong Zhizhuang gifted the streamer Carnival * 5]

"Damn, 'Heng-Dad' is awesome! Thanks, Heng-Dad! Are there any brothers or sisters who want to follow in his footsteps?"

Yu Yansui hummed, felt around in the dark to grab her big brother's exclusive doll, squeezed its ears and face to confirm whose it was, and hugged it to her chest. "Brother King, Suisui wants a Carnival too!"

[(Mod) King: Okay.]
[King gifted the streamer Diamond Carnival * 5]

Yu Yansui looked proud and blew more kisses. "Our side is super strong, how about that? I'll give you a chance to overtake me."

[The Princess has truly let herself go.]
[Look at that smug little expression.]
[Brothers, stop spoiling her; her tail is already wagging.]
[The Princess has already drifted into the galaxy.]

"Listen to that, brothers and sisters! Look, she clearly doesn't take you seriously. Can we endure this? Everyone, rise! Follow my lead! Three, two, one—Carnival!"

[Xiang Yunduan gifted the streamer Qiqiao Weaving Love * 6] (30000 Cat Coins)

Lin Hang: "Oh my, frankly speaking, that's all the strength your brothers have. Did they run out of steam? If you have the guts, overtake me!"

Yu Yansui tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, put her hands on her hips in a haughty manner, and pointed her fan at the screen. "Brother Jiuli, I command you to strike back! If you don't, hmph—the next second, this fan is going to land on your head with a crisp sound!"

[(Mod) Jiuli: So fierce. Fine! To avoid getting hit, I guess I'll have to sell my car to pay for it.]
[Jiuli gifted the streamer Rose Offering * 10] (30000)

The PK bar was nearing its end, and the two were still performing with great gusto, clearly having fun and not caring about winning or losing.

PK ended.
