Approaching midnight, the drinking party dispersed.
Guan Yuntao looked sturdy, but his alcohol tolerance was quite poor; he hadn't even finished five bottles when his eyes glazed over and he started swaying.
"Hmm?"
"Su Xiaoxiao is still live streaming?"
"Classes during the day, live streaming at night—isn't she tired?"
Li Qiming, who was tidying up the coffee table, glanced at the notification on his phone screen and mumbled to himself.
"Su Xiaoxiao?"
"Which one from our Zhonghai Jiaotong University's School of Foreign Languages?"
Tang Yuan collected all the empty bottles into a trash bag and asked somewhat casually.
"Exactly her," Li Qiming nodded. "Her live streaming schedule used to be fixed from 8 PM to 10 PM. I don't know what's gotten into her these past two days; her streaming time has significantly extended, sometimes even lasting until the latter half of the night."
"What's her Douyin ID?"
Tang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked offhandedly.
"Su Xiaoxiao, the 'Xiao' is the same as in 'small,' it sounds the same as her name but is written differently."
Li Qiming immediately replied.
Tang Yuan nodded slightly at the words and didn't say anything more.
With the two of them working together, the post-meal trash was quickly cleaned up.
After helping Guan Yuntao into the bedroom, Li Qiming returned to his own dorm to rest, while Tang Yuan went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
...
Back in the bedroom, Tang Yuan lay on the bed with his phone.
"Su Xiaoxiao?"
Recalling what Li Qiming had just said, Tang Yuanopened Douyin on his phone, then searched for "Su Xiaoxiao" in the search bar. He quickly found her.
Looking at her blinking avatar, Tang Yuan clicked into her live stream.
"I fell in love with someone who made me go all out~"
"I thought this was the world I was pursuing~"
In the live stream, Su Xiaoxiao was singing Stefanie Sun's song "Dark Sky." Her voice was clear, pure, and full of emotion. When she sang, she seemed completely immersed in the music.
Tang Yuan glanced at the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live stream, which was currently around 300. Although not a large number, it seemed quite lively, and the comment section was always active.
From the background behind Su Xiaoxiao, it appeared she wasn't living in a dorm, likely having rented an apartment outside of school specifically for live streaming. Tang Yuan briefly observed the situation in the live stream before focusing his attention on Su Xiaoxiao herself.
Being able to be called one of the "Two Pearls of Xuhui" alongside Wen Muxue, Su Xiaoxiao was indeed very beautiful. She was wearing a French light-mature style white shirt paired with a grey pleated skirt, with her flaxen long hair cascading behind her. She had a pair of very girlish almond eyes, with a clear and pure gaze, complementing her delicate and fair oval face. She was the epitome of countless boys' dream first crush.
However, although Su Xiaoxiao had a first-love face that easily made hearts flutter, her figure was not at all immature. Even without wearing tight clothes, her excellent figure was difficult to conceal.
A true university student!
Hmm...
These are three adjectives!
Just as Tang Yuan was observing Su Xiaoxiao, she quickly finished a song. At that moment, the top-ranked fan in the live stream directly sent a private jet.
As the magnificent special effects flashed, Su Xiaoxiao's face immediately broke into a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother An'an~"
"Not logging off yet?"
"Don't you have class tomorrow?"
Soon, a comment from the top-ranked "Social Maverick Boss An" appeared in the comment section.
"I have five more song requests; after I finish singing them, I'll go to sleep."
For her patron, Su Xiaoxiao naturally paid a lot of attention. After he commented, Su Xiaoxiaoimmediately replied to him.
Song request?
Tang Yuan raised an eyebrow and commented, "How do I request a song?"
At the same time, just as he posted his question, the top-ranked "Social Maverick Boss An" commented again: "Xiaoxiao, I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow and bring it directly to your classroom, so you can sleep in a bit longer."
Seeing such a comment, Tang Yuan casually clicked on his profile and found that, as he suspected, this person was indeed a student from their Zhonghai Jiaotong University. Judging by his age, he seemed to be a senior, one year younger than Tang Yuan and one year older than Su Xiaoxiao.
Undoubtedly, this current top-ranked fan certainly knew Su Xiaoxiao in real life, and seeing his actions of both sending gifts and offering to bring her breakfast, a word couldn't help but surface in Tang Yuan's mind.
Simp!
Realizing this, Tang Yuan suddenly became curious about how Su Xiaoxiao would respond to such a direct statement, or if she would choose to avoid answering.
"One hot air balloon allows you to request one song, oh~"
Facing the messages from both Tang Yuan and the top-ranked fan, Su Xiaoxiao chose to answer Tang Yuan's question, thereby avoiding the other's overtures, somewhat implying a desire to keep her distance.
Tang Yuan saw Su Xiaoxiao's response and a hint of playfulness appeared on his lips. However, at that moment, the top-ranked "Social Maverick Boss An" suddenly @-ed Tang Yuan and commented: "@TY The song request rules are written in the upper left corner, can't you read them yourself?"
Oh?
Is this anger from the simp?
When Tang Yuan saw this, he wasn't angry at all; instead, he found it even more interesting.
Without saying anything, Tang Yuan topped up some money on Douyin, then directly sent a hot air balloon, while also posting a comment: "I want to request Stefanie Sun's 'Green Light.'"
"Thank you for the gift."
"Song request successful, you are in sixth place, there are five songs before yours."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Yuanactually send a hot air balloon, and she immediately thanked him.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan immediately sent another message: "Sixth place is a bit long, I want to hear it now, can I cut in line?"
As soon as Tang Yuan posted that, the top-ranked Boss An jumped out again: "@TY Do you think this is KTV song request? Everyone is queuing, and you just say you want to cut in line? Don't think that just because you sent a hot air balloon, you can be reckless. If you disrupt the order again, do you believe I'll have the moderator kick you out?"
"Exactly, exactly, support Boss An, it's true that the bigger the forest, the more kinds of birds you find!"
"You say cut in, and you cut in? If the streamer really lets you cut in, won't everyone want to cut in in the future?"
"Just wait patiently. A hot air balloon is only a few tens of yuan, do you really think you're a big shot?"
"Xiaoxiao, it's very late, finish the songs quickly and log off!"
...
It was clear that this top-ranked "Social Maverick Boss An" was a loyal fan in Su Xiaoxiao's live stream, so after he spoke, it immediately garnered support from many viewers in the live stream, with their words full of sarcasm towards Tang Yuan.
"Dear, you can't cut in line, oh~"
"Because everyone else is queuing~"
At this point, Su Xiaoxiao also chimed in.
Can't?
Tang Yuan, lying on the bed, suddenly smiled when he heard Su Xiaoxiao's reply...
