Chapter 90: The Lively Live Stream
Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was actually greatly disturbed.
She had seen this movie, watched it in 3D at the cinema. The story was complete, and although the title wasn’t very appealing, the plot was quite good. However, what truly attracted her to the cinema wasn’t the special effects or the story; she simply went to the cinema to see Nangong Ying.
The Nangong Ying in the movie was incredibly unfamiliar, completely different from her usual self. The usual Nangong Ying would smile, had great ambition, and was a girl who was very good to her. But the Nangong Ying in the movie was bitter and resentful, constantly suppressing herself. Even her beloved couldn’t compare to the world in her eyes; she always carried the world in her heart.
Of course, she knew reality was different from movies. But sometimes she would think, she and Nangong Ying had truly become strangers.
Because Nangong was no longer the Nangong she was familiar with.
“Little Nana has seen it too? What do you think of this movie? I think Nangong Ying is super cool. I like her!”
“Yeah, I also think it’s quite good… Mainly the story, it’s really good, I like it very much.”
She answered while suppressing her emotions. Fang Jianing didn’t notice her reluctance.
Although Fang Jianing knew something unpleasant happened between her and Nangong Ying, she didn’t know that Nangong Ying, for her own career, ruthlessly betrayed Yu Linna, who was almost subjected to the unspoken rules.
“Nangong Ying is really cool. She’s clearly a girl, yet she can act in action scenes. I was stunned by her coolness. If my girlfriend was that cool, I would die without regrets.”
“Nangong is ours! Not your private property!”
Watching the barrage of bullet comments scrolling through the live stream, a flash of sadness flickered in Yu Linna’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She had known Nangong Ying for three years, but this three-year friendship couldn’t even compare to one movie.
Although her heart ached, ached very much, she had to admit that if Nangong Ying hadn’t betrayed her, in exchange for the unbanning of “Storm Seal Chronicle,” Nangong Ying wouldn’t have become popular in such a short time, wouldn’t have risen to the status of a first-tier star.
In other words, Nangong Ying’s status was obtained at the cost of Yu Linna’s sacrifice.
If Ye Zhiyun hadn’t appeared, then Yu Linna would have truly become a toy for Orange River’s higher-ups.
“Don’t just talk about the movie. Little Nana, do you have a favorite anime? Do you visit Bilibili?!”
“My favorite anime is Kyoto Animation’s ‘K-On!’. I have a Bilibili account, but I won’t tell you my ID. I’m not an uploader, just an ordinary anime fan.”
“Little Nana is so moe~ Little Nana, Little Nana, do you like Himegoto (referring to the character Hime Arikawa, often used as an example of a “trap” character)? Want to join the cult!”
“No thanks. I like girls.”
“It seems our Bilibili is about to release a new anime, and it’s domestic. The special effects for that magic girl anime shown in the preview are super cool. Suddenly feeling a bit excited. The original novel is amazing!”
Interacting with the viewers, Yu Linna seemed very natural, exchanging words casually, showing no sign that it was her first time live-streaming. Even Fang Jianing, the actual streamer, was left aside, losing her presence.
“Does anyone remember Little Angel who’s still playing music beside the camera? You guys are so busy talking to Little Nana, you forgot about her existence emmm~”
“Tragic. Forgot Little Angel. Little Angel won’t be angry with us, right?”
Fang Jianing watched these bullet comments float by and chuckled. She was overjoyed that the live stream had such high popularity. Why be angry? Besides, Yu Linna was her good friend. Wasn’t it a good thing that she gained the audience’s favor? She should be happy.
“Haha, I’m not angry. Little Nana is my good bestie. I’m not angry~ Does everyone like today’s live stream? I said I wouldn’t disappoint you. Isn’t Little Nana cute~”
“Little Angel is awesome! Before, the live stream was only of hands typing on the keyboard. First time having a friend on the live stream. This is so great. I strongly suggest Little Nana also create an account. If you two stream together, there will definitely be many viewers~”
“Yes, I support!”
“Agree!”
“Bestie’s live stream, I’m definitely watching!”
The live stream was filled with bullet comments, making the screen densely packed, barely able to see the outline of the little sister wearing a mask. It was easy to imagine how popular the live stream was.
Eating potato chips, Zhao Yuyan sat in front of the computer watching the live stream. Although the deadline was approaching, she still dared to slack off. Anyway, it wasn’t the last moment yet; she could relax a bit first. As long as she pulled an all-nighter to write tonight, everything would be in time.
Besides, this cosplaying Little Nana was quite cute. Although not showing her face, she just had that moe moe da feeling. And through her neck, one could see that this girl’s skin was very fair, even whiter than average girls. Really wanted to know how she took care of her skin. Even Zhao Yuyan, as a girl, felt a bit envious.
Zhao Yuyan was 19 years old, just started university, a newly debuted novelist, edited by Chen Xi. Her debut work, “You in Time and Space,” was published in the form of a short story, selling over 100,000 copies and officially making a name for herself. After that, she entered the state of writing serial novels and published “The Rich Man’s Game,” which currently had two volumes published.
Although she was a newcomer, she already had her representative work. Her pen name was Kongqi (Air).
Her writing style always focused on comedic daily life, interspersed with romance. Usually, her romantic plot lines were quite bland, hardly displaying much interaction between the male and female protagonists. However, when she wrote female protagonists, she could often capture the hearts of male readers.
Moreover, among the three short stories she had published, including the only long novel currently in serialization, the female protagonists were all ojou-sama (rich young lady) characters. In the fan circle, she was jokingly called “Ojou-sama Kongqi.”
She was still young, her future full of potential. Chen Xi was optimistic about her efforts to cultivate her, hoping she could leave a mark in the future professional circle.
But Miss Zhao Yuyan was lazy, didn’t like rushing manuscripts, only liked playing games and watching live streams. Look, she was slacking off again today while Chen Xi wasn’t there to push her for the manuscript.
She quite liked Little Nana. Seeing her so cute, she couldn’t help but send a gift.
“The former ‘Kongqi’ sent a small TV to the streamer!”
“Is the brother upstairs’ ID so suggestive? Actually ‘Kongqi’? Is it because you worship Teacher Kongqi?”
“Newbie asking, what is ‘Kongqi’?”
“That’s a recently popular novelist. Go buy a copy of ‘The Rich Man’s Game’ and you’ll know.”
Zhao Yuyan didn’t expect that just sending a small gift would attract attention because of her ID. This was truly interesting.
You know, although she gained many fans, her popularity wasn’t at the level of a supreme god yet. Few people should know her at this time. Unexpectedly, there were people watching the live stream who knew about Kongqi.
Yu Linna watched the bullet comments but didn’t say much, leaving the talking to Fang Jianing. She just needed to be an obedient cosplayer. Anyway, she was just here as a guest.
It had to be said that today’s live stream was very effective, further increasing Fang Jianing’s popularity. She was originally a famous Bilibili uploader, the only female uploader among the top ten uploaders of the year. She also usually did live streams and her popularity was high, but today’s live stream made her popularity on Bilibili reach its peak. Currently, among the trending live streams, Fang Jianing’s was the hottest; no other streamer could surpass her.
“Why doesn’t Little Angel show her face? Her bestie has come out, but Little Angel is always so mysterious. Could it be she’s not confident about her face?”
“What nonsense! Little Angel is always the cutest! Don’t listen to others’ rubbish!”
Looking at these bullet comments, Fang Jianing smiled wryly. It wasn’t that she wasn’t confident about her face. On the contrary, she thought she looked pretty good. However, compared to Yu
Linna, Yu Linna would be more beautiful. After all, the genes were there.
But she wasn’t afraid to show her face either. It was just because of her parents’ order that she didn’t. Until she got into university, she absolutely wouldn’t turn the camera on her face.
“As Little Angel’s number one fan, I must say this: Little Angel, if you’re not confident about your looks, it’s okay, we’ll still be your fans. But you bringing your bestie to the live stream today is hard to understand. And your bestie is wearing a mask the whole time, why not show her face? Two people not showing their faces, this is very strange!”
“What’s up with the person upstairs? Are you trying to criticize Little Angel? Whether Little Angel shows her face or not is her business, what are you interfering for!”
“I really don’t understand. A live streamer who doesn’t show her face, and a female streamer at that. And one even wears a mask, trying to hide something?”
“Enough, Little Angel, ban him! He’s a troll, here to cause trouble!”
“Hehe, how did I troll? I just stated my opinion. You are brainless fans. I suspect Little Angel is not a girl. If she were a girl, why wouldn’t she dare to show her face? Little Angel, as long as you show your face, I’ll apologize immediately!”
“Orphan, your mom’s dead. Actually calling Little Angel a guy? Looking for death!”
“Kick him out!”
“Agree!”
“I just voiced my question, how is that trolling? Go ahead, try banning me, I’ll go to Weibo…”
“‘Fairy’s Hammer’ has been kicked out of the live stream for violating relevant regulations.”
The live stream instantly erupted, various discordant voices rising. Since a brainless guy took the lead, many trolls appeared in the live stream, starting to criticize Little Angel.
Fang Jianing watched in disbelief. Clearly, her not showing her face in the live stream was a common occurrence, but it inexplicably became a point for others to attack her. These people seized her flaws and relentlessly criticized. The worst one actually called Little Angel a transgender person, pretending to be female to deceive fans.
Fang Jianing saw the situation was getting out of hand and shut down the live stream early. And at this time, the netizen called “Fairy’s Hammer” actually posted an article on Weibo questioning whether the Bilibili streamer Fenwu Tianshi was male. Point by point, he targeted Fang Jianing, questioning the true gender of this only female uploader among the top ten uploaders of the year. A massive online debate erupted in the comment section.
Just like that, because of one live stream, things escalated, completely exceeding everyone’s expectations.
