Volume 1, Chapter 33: No Need to Fleece Me, I’ll Pay It Myself

"You all are so energetic! I was just calibrating my equipment."

[Sang You: Wifey!!]
[Many Fish: It's already this late, why hasn't our big brother come yet?]
[Stop talking about it, even the Prince Consort who usually stands on the front lines hasn't shown up.]

"Brother Xiaofeng had some business with his game today, so he asked for leave to be late. Brother King is on a business trip and will come to see Suisui once he's done~ Brother Jiuli and Brother Alan are likely stuck in traffic on their way here, haha."

[Emperor A is clearly still affected by that song last night.]
[Let's see through it without saying it out loud.]
[It's great to be young.]
[This age is exactly when men are at their most vigorous.]

The friends in the comment section started their "pants flying everywhere" mode again.

Yu Yansui held her forehead and smiled helplessly. "My babies, why didn't I notice you were all little perverts before?"

[Sang You: There wasn't anything for us to be perverted about before!]
[Towards the Clouds: What is this? Am I out of the loop?]
[Many Fish: Brother Towards the Clouds, go check out the stream clips on my profile.]
[I came over from Berry's stream; it's truly amazing.]
[Ahhh, such a beautiful woman with a high-level appearance and a lovely voice.]
[A rising star in the aesthetics category.]
[I thought the aesthetics category was all filtered beauties, I didn't expect to see a truly pure one.]

The number of people today had clearly increased; the current live viewer count had already exceeded 20,000.

Helping Berry stream yesterday had attracted many casual fans. Yu Yansui smiled sweetly and greeted the newcomers.

"There are so many people today. Should Suisui sing a song for everyone?"

Yu Yansui picked up her violin and played "Rose Boy," which drew a wave of constant praise in the comments. Sang You and Many Fish kept their eyes on the screen, helping her moderate the chat.

Yu Yansui's content was relatively simple, consisting mostly of talent showcases. Fearing the fans might get bored, she suggested going out to play some PK matches, especially since many people were currently asking to link up with her.

After six or seven rounds of wins and losses, Yu Yansui issued quite a few punishments, ranging from light to heavy.

[Jiuli Siming 'Alan' arrives on the wind.]
['Alan' gifted the streamer 'Dazzling Galaxy' *1] (29,999 Cat Coins)
['Alan' gifted the streamer 'Rose Manor' *1] (3,300 Cat Coins)
['Alan' gifted the streamer 'Nebula Duke' *3] (30,000 Cat Coins)

As soon as Alan entered the stream, he showered Yu Yansui with grand gifts, and the screen was refreshed with rose gift animations.

[Alan: I'm late. My apologies.]
[Sang You: Emperor A, don't be so doting!]
[Many Fish: Why does it feel like Emperor A is even more romantic with his gifts to the Princess than Emperor Li?]
[I've seen enough of the Mystery Shop's hidden gifts.]

"Thank you for the roses, Brother Alan. No matter when you arrive, it's never late. As long as you're here, that's enough."

[Alan: It's different. I will be on time from now on.]
[Dog food, it's dog food.]
[You two are under arrest for animal cruelty.]
[How dare you torture me? I'm going to screenshot this and report it to the Prince Consort!]

"Whose babies are you exactly? Why do you always side with Brother Xiaofeng?"

[Sang You: Yours, yours!]
[Many Fish: I'm actually an omnivorous CP shipper; I just love watching love.]
[Can't help it, the Prince Consort is a veteran; we just love teasing him.]

Yu Yansui raised her middle finger and said fiercely, "No way! You can only favor me! You are my little wheat ears, my babies!"

[Sang You: Alright, alright, we'll favor you.]
[Many Fish: [Emoji] ('[Emoji]') [Emoji] got it!]
[Towards the Clouds: Unconditionally favoring you (This comment cost 5 yuan)]
[Favoring the Princess (This comment cost 1 yuan)]
[Favoring the Princess (This comment cost 0.5 yuan)]

"Brother Alan, look, they're all bullying me!"

[Alan: I favor you.]

"You guys should learn from Brother Alan! Look at how sensible Brother Alan is!"

[Guardian 'Evening Breeze' arrives riding a Kun.]
['Evening Breeze' gifted the streamer 'Fox Encounter' *2] (30,000 Cat Coins)

Speak of the devil.

"Brother Xiaofeng, welcome home."

[(Mod) Evening Breeze: I'm here, Sui-bao.]

After Evening Breeze entered, Alan seemed to spot a blind spot. He spent money to open a floating screen, questioning him like a resentful husband.

[Alan: Isn't I also a 'big brother'? Why don't I have mod status?]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Oh? You really showed up?]

Announcement: User 'Alan' has been permanently muted and kicked from the stream by super-mod 'Evening Breeze'!!!

Looking at Evening Breeze's actions and the system's massive floating announcement, everyone in the stream was filled with question marks.

[Rose Duke 'Xuan' makes a flashy entrance.]
[Xuan: What's the meaning of this? Kicking me? @Evening Breeze]

Yu Yansui picked up her small black cat plush and gave it two soft punches. "Brother Xiaofeng, don't mess around! If you keep this up, I'll really be angry!"

"Sorry, Brother Alan, I've unmuted you and given you mod status. Please don't hold it against Brother Xiaofeng; he's not a bad person."

[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Fine, you're bored of me. I get it. You don't love me anymore. Favoritism! Favoritism!]

"That's not true! In Suisui's heart, you're all the same. My heart is pointed; it doesn't tilt."

[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Hmph!]

Announcement: Player Alan has been set as a stream super-mod by the streamer.
Announcement: Player Alan has been unmuted by the streamer.

[(Mod) Alan: @Evening Breeze, you're so childish.]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Who are you talking about? Do you want to fight?]
[(Mod) Alan: Want to go a few rounds?]
[(Mod) Alan: Wait, what is that doll? Why don't I have one?]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: You deserve it! Don't get one for him, Sui-bao.]

Yu Yansui laughed helplessly and chided, "Brother Xiaofeng, you're the cheekiest one. Tone it down a bit. Brother Alan, that's a custom doll I made for the regular brothers and sisters in the stream. How about I make one for you tomorrow too?"

[(Mod) Alan: Great! (^o^)/~]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Did you play any PKs today?]

"I did."
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: It's fine, let's go out and conquer again.]

"PKs are so tiring. Let Suisui slack off for a bit."

[Towards the Clouds: Don't be so Zen, girl. Go out and PK to rake in the votes! Big brother wants to spend.]

Yu Yansui shook her head. "I don't know what to play, and it's boring out there. Besides, Brother Towards the Clouds, I'm trying to save you money, and you're not even happy about it."

[(Mod) Evening Breeze: @Towards the Clouds, I don't like what you're saying. Can you only spend your votes when you're PK-ing with my Sui-bao? If there's no PK, you won't spend?]
[Towards the Clouds: Brother Evening Breeze is right. I'll spend right now.]
['Alan' gifted the streamer 'Rose Manor' *10]
[(Mod) Alan: I don't need you to rake them in; I'll pay for it myself. I'll spend voluntarily from now on.]

Yu Yansui smiled sweetly and made a big heart shape for Alan. "Brother Alan, you're so kind."

[(Mod) Alan: I will always like you, Suisui.]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: Have some shame. Why don't you go sit at the same table as Li-dog? You just want to snatch everything.]
[(Mod) Alan: What kind of shame do you need when chasing a girl? Being stuck-up won't win a girl's heart.]
[(Mod) Evening Breeze: I'm going to puke! You dog-sons only know how to go against your dad!!]

Here we go again. Brother Xiaofeng's mouth is truly insufferable; no matter how she tries to persuade him, he won't listen. Suisui is mentally exhausted, but Suisui won't say it.

Just then, an invitation for a PK arrived from Xianyin.

Sister Xianyin is so kind, saving her from this predicament.

"Suisui, let's go! Big sister will take you to meet some people! I guarantee this group is full of interesting characters."
