The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

At 10:20 p.m., Tang Xiaotao was live-streaming in front of her computer screen in her small rented room bedroom.

This is a prime location that she carefully selected for her live-streaming career, mainly because the house has excellent soundproofing so that her singing won't disturb others.

Although the soundproofing was very good, she still bought soundproofing cotton and covered all the walls in her bedroom with it.

After finishing the song "Myth of Stars and Moon," she let out a long sigh of relief and looked at the barrage of comments scrolling by on the screen next to her.

[Luxury Court!!!]

[Older brother still has the best vibe]

[The host has a lovely voice, please take a break!]

Tang Xiaotao glanced at the number of people online and couldn't help but smile.

Due to privacy concerns, she has never shown her face during her live streams; she is the type of person whose voice is heard but whose face is never seen.

However, because she sings really well, she accumulated a group of fans in the early days. Later, a fan suggested that since she couldn't see the person, there was a lack of interaction. If she didn't want to show her face, she could get a suit and become a virtual streamer.

Tang Xiaotao thought it was feasible, so she spent more than half a month's salary to customize a Live2D suit. It was an image of an energetic girl with a side ponytail and a small tiger tooth when she smiled. This image was also very popular among fans.

"Alright, alright, that's all for today's live stream."

She spoke into the microphone:

Thank you everyone for joining us. See you tomorrow!

Amidst a barrage of goodbye messages, the live stream software was shut down, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Tang Xiaotao took off her headphones, stood up from her chair, leaned back, stretched her waist, and then shook her neck.

After doing a simple set of radio calisthenics, I picked up the thermos on the table and took a sip; it contained soaked dried sea buckthorn.

Six hours of live streaming, most of which was spent singing, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tired.

However, after glancing at the backend data, she saw that the number of followers was higher than yesterday, so she felt that her efforts had not been in vain.

She has loved singing since she was a child.

When I was little, I would secretly use a broom as a microphone at home, and I would blush for a long time when my parents caught me.

Fortunately, she has now turned her hobby into a job and can support herself. She feels that she is really lucky.

A rumble in her stomach reminded her that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.

She touched her stomach, lay on the bed, opened the food delivery app, and scrolled through the same few restaurants she ordered every day, pondering what to order.

While I was scrolling through my phone, it suddenly rang. The caller was "Brother".

Tang Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight in bed, answering the phone and saying:

"Brother! What's up, calling me so late?"

Ye Shu's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Oh, nothing. What are you doing now?"

"Just finished my live stream, planning to order takeout for dinner."

"What time is it for dinner?"

Ye Shu's tone immediately shifted to that of a concerned elder brother, and he began to nag:

"Stop eating takeout all the time. Learn to cook for yourself, it's not hard... Are you doing well with your live streams? If you're short on money and you're too embarrassed to ask my aunt for it, just tell me."

Tang Xiaotao listened to her older brother's nagging, which sounded like a mother's, and smiled. She knew that her brother had always been thinking about her. He had even visited her live stream a few times before and given her several gifts, becoming her top spender for a few days.

"It's enough for me. I'm doing fine with my live streams now."

She laughed and lay back down on the bed, her two little legs dangling over the edge, swinging back and forth, the slippers hanging on her feet swaying with them.

"You called me so late at night, it can't just be to check up on my livestream, right? What's wrong? What's there to be shy about with your sister?"

Ye Shu chuckled on the other end of the phone, then her tone became a little more serious:

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. Well, your sister-in-law Xiaoxue and I are getting married soon, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to be your sisters-in-law's bridesmaids?"

"Yes, yes!"

Tang Xiaotao sat up in bed like she was doing sit-ups, nodding rapidly into the phone:

"Of course I'd love to! When? Can I buy a ticket now and go?"

"There's no need to rush, I'll let you know when the time comes."

"Okay!"

Tang Xiaotao nodded again, then quickly added:

"Then you should have told me in advance so I could make arrangements for the live stream."

"understood."

Ye Shu responded, then added a couple of words of advice:

"Eat less takeout, and take a couple of days off if you're tired. Don't ruin your health by doing live streams."

"Oh, okay, I know. You're just like my mom. Okay, hang up now, bye."

Tang Xiaotao said this, but she was very happy inside.

After hanging up the phone, she lay back down on the bed with her phone in hand, a smile on her lips that she couldn't suppress.

She was already picturing her older brother in a suit and her sister-in-law in a wedding dress in her mind. It would look so beautiful!

Standing next to her, she could observe her older brother and sister-in-law kissing up close, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She rolled around on the bed and completely forgot about ordering takeout.

Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng.

Chen Xing sat cross-legged on her sofa at home, with a tablet computer on her lap. She was browsing the children's clothing store very intently, scrolling through the tablet.

Looking at the colorful little clothes, Chen Xing added the cutest ones to his shopping cart, regardless of whether they were for boys or girls, since they would be able to wear them eventually.

She was still picking out clothes when the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. She picked it up and answered, saying:

"Xiao Ye, why are you calling so late? What's wrong?"

Just then, Wang Tao came out of the bathroom. He happened to hear Ye Shu calling, so he walked over to the sofa, sat down, and mouthed a question:

Is there a problem with the store?

Chen Xing glanced at him, shook his head, and then said into the phone:

"Okay, okay. No problem, of course no problem, don't worry. Then I'll congratulate you and Xiaoxue in advance, okay, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing turned to her husband and smiled:

"Xiao Ye is getting married soon and asked if I could be her bridesmaid."

"Bridesmaid? Aren't bridesmaids supposed to be single?"

"There aren't so many rules anymore."

Chen Xing waved his hand, casually placed his phone aside, and then sighed:

"And Xiaoye told me before that her boyfriend probably just couldn't find a suitable person."

Wang Tao didn't press further, he just nodded.

Chen Xing picked up the tablet again to continue looking at children's clothing, and then his phone rang again. This time the caller ID showed "Xiao Jiu".

She answered the phone again and called out:

"Xiaojiu?"

"Sis, how many times have I told you, call me San San!"

Chen San San said on the other end of the phone that this seemed to have become the standard opening line between the three sisters:

"Sis, I need your help with something."

"Okay, what's up?"

Chen Xing smiled, thinking that the kid was probably short of money again because he wanted to buy something. It seemed that this kid would only call him for important things, except when he needed to borrow money.

However, this time Chen San San on the other end of the phone said:

"Sis, a friend of mine is getting married soon, and I was wondering if you could come with me? ...And, while you're at it...be a bridesmaid?"

Chen Xing smiled, a helpless smile:

"You silly child, I don't even know your friend, why would I be a bridesmaid?"

She really couldn't understand her younger sister's thought process. When Chen San San saw that her sister didn't agree, she knew that the request was indeed a bit presumptuous, so she just said "oh", chatted casually for a couple more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

Chen Xing put down her phone, looked at her husband beside her, and said with a mix of exasperation and amusement:

"Isn't it a coincidence? They're all getting married, and they both want me to be their bridesmaid. How come all their weddings are happening at the same time?"
