Chapter Two: The Innocent Female Streamer Is a Beloved Darling (2)

Ji Yanli gazed expectantly at Yun Suisui behind the curtains, probing, “Do you know the blogger ‘Safe and Sound Suisui’?”

Yun Suisui’s palms grew sweaty with nerves. She lowered her voice, “No, I don’t.”

Disappointment flickered in Ji Yanli’s eyes; hearing it this way, it didn’t seem so alike after all.

Ji Junmo took a sip of tea. “I heard your insomnia has improved?”

Ji Yanli leaned back in his chair, looking nonchalant. “It’s better, but not completely cured.”

Ji Junmo glanced at his watch, then picked up his phone and the contract as he stood. “I have something else to do. I’ll be going now.”

With that, Ji Junmo turned and left.

Ji Yanli thought of Yun Suisui, feeling a bit agitated.

“Hey, what’s your name? Come out and talk to me,” Ji Yanli called toward Yun Suisui behind the curtains.

System: Host, don’t go out! Now isn’t the right time for you two to meet. You might not be as chubby as before, but you’re still a bit overweight!

Yun Suisui didn’t agree with the system. She took a deep breath—don’t be nervous, just keep your voice low and he won’t recognize it.

She rose and slowly walked out from behind the curtains to stand before Ji Yanli.

“Sir, my name is Yun Suisui. I’m working part-time here at this teahouse,” Yun Suisui deliberately kept her voice low, though it still bore traces of her original tone.

“Suisui?” Ji Yanli raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with amusement as he repeated the name.

“Yes, ‘Yun’ as in cloud, ‘Sui’ as in years,” Yun Suisui spoke in a hoarse whisper.

“Suisui.” Ji Yanli unconsciously said it again. Her name also had ‘Sui’ in it, but her voice was more pleasant than the Suisui before him.

A blush crept across Yun Suisui’s pale cheeks. Why did he have to repeat her nickname twice?

“Your name sounds lovely.” Ji Yanli looked her up and down; she was indeed rather cute, quite different from those daughters of noble families.

Yun Suisui stood straight, head lowered, not daring to meet Ji Yanli’s gaze.

“Look up.” His voice carried an undeniable authority.

Yun Suisui slowly raised her head to meet Ji Yanli’s eyes.

Their gazes locked.

Ji Yanli was momentarily stunned by the beauty in Yun Suisui’s eyes.

“How long have you been here?”

Yun Suisui swallowed. The man before her was too handsome; her cheeks reddened further. “Sir, it’s my first day.”

“Search for ‘Safe and Sound Suisui’ on DY. Your voice is very similar to hers, quite pleasant to listen to.”

“I—I understand.” Yun Suisui answered nervously.

Ji Yanli frowned. “Let me ask you, if someone invites you out twice and you refuse both times, what are you thinking? Is it that you don’t want to see them, don’t like them, or dislike them?”

Yun Suisui glared at him—what kind of options were those!

Ji Yanli wasn’t offended; instead, he found Yun Suisui’s reaction more lively.

“If it were me, I’d say I’m afraid,” Yun Suisui’s voice held a hint of sadness.

“Afraid? Why?” Ji Yanli scrutinized her from head to toe, seeing nothing amiss.

“Sorry, that’s private. I’d rather not answer,” Yun Suisui lowered her head and swallowed.

Ji Yanli took a card from his pocket and placed it on the table, then stood and looked down at her. “There’s one hundred thousand in this card. Consider it your tip.”

Yun Suisui felt overshadowed by him; the height difference forced her to look up at Ji Yanli.

She picked up the card and handed it back. “Thank you, sir, but that’s too much. I can’t accept it.”

Ji Yanli’s expression was indifferent. “Take it, it’s yours.”

He turned to leave, and as he did, Yun Suisui swiftly slipped the card back into his pocket.

System: Host, there’s only a month before school starts. You need to reach two million followers in this month.

Yun Suisui nodded. “Alright, I will.”

In the car, Ji Yanli pulled out his phone, and the card fell from his pocket.

He picked it up, shook his head helplessly, and opened the chat history with Yun Suisui, then her Moments. Still only visible for three days, empty as ever.

He put away his phone, irritation resurfacing.

Yun Suisui arrived home, washed up, and it was nearly eight o’clock—her usual livestream time.

After posting her latest work, she hurriedly started the broadcast.

Viewers began to trickle in as soon as the stream started.

“Good evening, darlings! I’m Suisui,” she greeted into the microphone.

[Freebie Monster: Squeak squeak, my dear wife is finally live!]
[Xiaoya: Ahhh, Suisui’s voice is as lovely as ever!]
[Bai Bai: Screen-licking, Suisui please pick me, I want to hear you sing ‘Love Emergency’!]
Bai Bai sent a sports car ×1314
Mei Mei sent a carnival ×52
Bubble sent fireworks ×10
Anonymous user sent a yacht

[Xiao Xiao: Ribbit! Sister Bai is so generous!]
[Radish: Our Suisui Army is truly formidable!]
With the influx of gifts, the number of viewers soared, nearing ten thousand.

“Thank you all for your gifts, kiss kiss, mwah mwah. Next, let’s have ‘Love Emergency’,” Yun Suisui searched for the accompaniment.

As the music started, she began to sing.

After the song, the screen filled with praise and special effects gifts.

Yun Suisui randomly chose a few lucky viewers and sang their requested songs.

She sang for nearly an hour before stopping.

“Alright, darlings, I won’t sing anymore for now. Protecting my voice is most important.”

[An: We’ll listen to our wife, sob sob, your voice is so beautiful, you must take care of it!]
[Bai Bai: Suisui sings so wonderfully! Ahhh, I can’t get enough!]

“Darlings, any advice on how to gain followers faster?” Yun Suisui asked sweetly.

[Xiao Bai: Suisui, hurry and do a PK!]
[Mei Mei: PK with beautiful girls to gain followers quickly. If you PK with handsome guys, their fans might flame you!]
[Bai Bai: Don’t worry, Suisui, go for the PK. You won’t lose. You’ve got the Suisui Army behind you!]

The comments made Yun Suisui laugh; she replied dotingly, “Alright, I have the Suisui Army behind me.”

She randomly connected with another streamer—a sweet-looking female named Green Fruit.

Green Fruit was surprised to see ‘Safe and Sound Suisui.’ Wasn’t this the minor streamer her friend Ruotong’s crush had been following lately? How could a streamer who didn’t dare show her face or figure possibly compete with her for Ruotong’s man!

Green Fruit smiled and waved, “Hello, shall we play?”

“Hello, how do we play?” Yun Suisui’s voice was soft and gentle, pleasant to the ear.

Green Fruit deliberately pinched her voice, “Suisui dear, I noticed your profile has no face or figure shown.” She stood to display her slender figure.

[Xiao Bai: What’s the other streamer implying? Is she mocking our Suisui?]
[Mei Mei: Damn green tea, get lost!]

Yun Suisui frowned. Why did she have to encounter this kind of green tea girl as soon as she connected?

Green Fruit sat back in her chair. “How about this—if you lose, you show your face or body and dance for us?”
