Chapter 18   - Who this sacred female anchor is

The three of them played consecutive matches until 11:00 p.m. Lu Xiuhe was the first to ask, “Xiao Yan, you’re still not done livestreaming ?”

Only then did Yu Yan discover that it was already time to end his livestream.

“…How about we stream one more match?”

“Okay , then keep going.”

Yi Chen glanced at his watch and unexpectedly raised his eyebrows.

As expected, time really flies by while playing games. He had an overseas video conference in half an hour.

“You guys play, I still have some business. Going to leave first.”

Yu Yan paused his action of clicking on the match button and hurriedly replied, “Okay.”

When he finished saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened the livestream app on his phone.

yanxyan: You’ve sent enough meteor showers from before. If you want to play, please send me a private message at any time, and I’ll let you jump the queue!

yanxyan: Don’t smash presents anymore.

Yi Chen paused his action of sending gifts for only two seconds upon reading the message, before just going ahead and pressing the “give” button.

The livestream received another meteor shower.

Yu Yan: “…”

[Boss is so generous!]

[Boss is using his own strength to support the whole stream by himself]

[Is this a nurturing boss? Every time I come here, he puts in 2000. Boss, can you keep it up?]

: It’s fine. Logging off, you play slowly.

Yu Yan was still in a dumbfounded state. He only saw that the other party’s ID had instantly turned grey and he had immediately gone offline.

Lu Xiuhe asked, “Is Boss there? Are you lacking people hanging off your leg? Like the kind that just graduated from undergrad.”

As soon as Lu Xiuhe’s voice fell, Yi Chen’s game avatar also went offline.

“Fuck me, 1 is truly a noveau riche. Smashing meteor showers every time he comes in. If he continues to do this a few more times, wouldn’t we suddenly become rich?” Lu Xiuhe said, “Xiao Yan, come on , let’s continue.”

Yu Yan snapped out of it and said, “Forget it, let’s stop streaming here for today . We’ll play again tomorrow.”

Lu Xiuhe: “?”

[???]

[Didn’t you just say that you were going to stream one more match?]

“After a whole day of streaming, my eyes are a little tired.” Yu Yan closed the game. “Tomorrow , sorry.”

His livestream hours were considered very long amongst all the anchors. From morning to night, except for the meal times in the middle, he would basically just sit at the computer table.

So the audience didn’t try to embarrass him any more. A string of “888” appeared on the barrage.

As he just prepared to end the stream, a string of bright words suddenly appeared in the stream.

[Autumn Will No Longer Come has sent a little star]

Seeing the familiar name, Yu Yan paused a bit and after a while said, “Thank you for the little star, Autumn Will No Longer Come.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party popped up in the chat. Because he had spent a decent amount of money on StarTV, his ID was quite colorful.

Autumn Will No Longer Come: Xiao Yan Ge, it really is you! I saw the yanxyan ID outside but I didn’t dare to believe it was you. Good luck with your livestream !

“Thank you.”

Immediately, a group of people who wanted to flatter this new boss started spamming the barrage. Autumn seemed used to this kind of scene and just continued to publically chat with him.

Autumn Will No Longer Come: You’re welcome, are you going to stop streaming soon?

“Yes.” Yu Yan said, “If you want to eat chicken, I’ll bring you along tomorrow?”

Autumn Will No Longer Come: Okay , let’s talk about it tomorrow . I have something I need to talk to you about now. Let’s talk on QQ later?

When Yu Yan thought back to the other party’s invitation to start livestreaming and also his refusal, he felt quite embarrassed to accidentally run into him.

Yu Yan hesitated for a few moments. “…Okay.”

He turned off the computer and saw that the other party still hadn’t sent a message, so he resolutely grabbed his clothes to go take a bath first.

Once he came out, Autumn really did come to find him.

Autumn Will No Longer Come: Xiao Yan Ge, you there?

Yu Yan: Yes, what did you want to talk about?

Autumn Will No Longer Come: Haha, I’m just curious. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to livestream?When he walked out of the room, all of his relatives seemed to have their eyes on him.

Yi Chen had gotten used to this a long time ago. After he had dealt with them one by one, they had pretty much scattered.

“It’s already so late. You might as well stay here tonight .” Mother Yi suggested.

“No, there’s still a meeting in the evening.”

Mother Yi sighed, “Really you… can you ever finish making money? Health is still the most important thing, don’t work so late so often.”

Yi Chen said okay, and left the residence after saying goodbye to his parents.

But when he reached the door of his house, he realized that the lights inside were on.

Yi Chen’s assistant had been by his side for a long time and already knew that Yi Chen didn’t easily take people home, let alone tell others his door’s lock code. So he asked, “President Yi, do you want me to go in with you?”

“No need.” Yi Chen raised his foot and entered the house. “You go back .”

He opened the door, grabbed a long handled umbrella from beside the door and was on guard. magic

“Bro, pull me up, pull me up—a mistake! I’m using my 4G data to connect, it’s too laggy! No other way, I don’t know my Ge’s home WiFi password !”

Hearing the sound of the door, Yi Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, met Yi Chen’s gaze.

“… No, don’t pull me up! My Ge is back, you guys fight first !”

Yi Chen threw his umbrella aside and frowned. “How did you know my door’s lock code?”

“I accidentally saw it the last time you typed it in.” Yi Ran said, “Really saw it by accident! Not on purpose!”

Yi Chen went into the study and started unbuttoning his suit. “Scram.”

“Don’t , Ge, take me in for a few days, just a few days!”

“Spent all the money?”

“No, it’s just that I can’t get a room right now. My father’s searching for me using my ID card.”

“Then you can sleep on the street.”

“Ge…” Yi Ran desperately squeezed out a few tears and gripped his laptop tightly. “You know my father’s a nut case. It’s fine if he doesn’t let me play with cars or watches, but he’s still trying to force me to get married every day. I’m really going to fall into depression because of him.”

Recalling the sight of his uncle’s furious expression at the Yi residence, Yi Chen continued and hissed, “If even you got depressed, then there would be no normal people in the world.”

Yi Ran was still racking his brain, trying to think up ways of seeming even more pitiful. He suddenly heard a click, and a cellphone landed on the glass table in front of him.

“Just three days.” Yi Chen took his bathrobe and simply said, “Scram to the guest room to sleep.”

Yi Ran’s tears instantly receded. “Okay Ge! I love you, Ge!”

After entering the bathroom, Yi Chen took a look at the time before he took off his watch.

p.m.

After taking a bath, he would still be able to play a match with the little anchor.

Yi Ran didn’t expect that the other side would give in so quickly. He was about to happily play his next match, when the cellphone in front of him suddenly dinged.

He reflexively looked at it and found that it was a push notification.

[StarTV: Respected Star Emissary 1, the PUBG anchor you are following, yanxyan, is carrying out a “stream follower lottery” activity, click to enter.]

Yi Ran’s eyes widened. He went back and forth and carefully looked at it three times——

Anchor?

Star Emissary??

Stream follower lottery???

What the fuck????

In the game, his friend was urging him. “Are you done, Yi Ran? Ready up .”

“Holy shit… I’m not going to play right now!”

“Why, did your Ge change his mind and is going to kick you out?”

“No—”

Yi Ran acted as if he had discovered some big secret. He stared at the bathroom door for a long time. Only after he had ascertained that the person inside wouldn’t come out for a while did he scoot closer to his laptop and lowered his voice, gossiping——

“My Ge seems to be interested in some female anchor. After only playing the game for two or three days, he threw several thousand yuan in gifts to that person!”

“Several thousand yuan is nothing to your Ge…”

“Didn’t your Chinese teacher teach you to focus on the key points?! Did you think it was the several thousand yuan I wanted to talk about?! Ah?!”

In the end, Yi Ran couldn’t help it.

“No, it’s too exciting! I have to see who this sacred female anchor is!”

Juurensha: It’s honestly kind of funny to me that Boss Yi’s parents are basically bohemian artists. And Yi Ran is going to be so surprised….

Divi: Poor Boss Yi, have to shoulder the burden cause the parents wanted to be carefree. Play play with Yanyan more! How shocked is Yi Ran going to be??
