Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

"Here, this is for you."

Before leaving, Jiang Yiting suddenly took something out of her pocket and stuffed it into Chen Bainian's hand.

"What?" Chen Bainian looked down, his palm holding a small, hard card.

"The first autographed photo." Jiang Yiting didn't even turn her head, leaving him only with a dashing and neat back view with a high ponytail, and the door closing gently behind her.

Chen Bainian flipped the card over.

In the photo, she is wearing the off-white knit sweater I saw that day, and her smile is more relaxed and natural than usual in front of the camera.

Even so, her high ponytail, slightly raised chin, and bright eyes still give this gentle outfit a unique, free-spirited quality that belongs to her.

In the lower right corner of the card, the golden signature "Twelfth Floor" is written in elegant and flowing handwriting, exactly the same as the one on the flower basket greeting card this morning, but the different medium adds a sense of realism.

Chen Bainian held the card in his palm, his fingertips brushing against the cool surface, and looked at it quietly for a while.

Then, he took the signed greeting card from the flower basket out of his pocket, held the two cards, and turned to walk into the study.

At 7 p.m., Jiang Yiting returned to the next room on time and started her live broadcast for the evening.

Chen Bainian sat in front of the computer, her live broadcast room displayed on the screen.

In the video, Jiang Yiting is smiling and greeting the flood of comments, appearing relaxed and at ease, showing no signs of the minor social crisis she experienced just half an hour earlier.

As he listened to her unique, slightly languid, and magnetic voice interacting with the audience through his headphones, he unconsciously twirled two cards in his hand with his fingertips.

"Why are you late tonight?" Jiang Yiting read a comment and answered naturally, "Oh, Teacher Chen's studio opened today, so I went to freeload a meal and, by the way... I scouted out some information about his new game for you guys."

Jiang Yiting knew perfectly well that the reason for the late start of the broadcast tonight was simply because she had spent some extra time with Chen Bainian.

Firstly, since I often eat at his house, I can't just let him wash all the dishes every time without feeling guilty. It's only right and proper for me to lend a hand and help with the tidying up.

Secondly, Xu Haoran's sudden appearance almost caused her to have a "key horror" incident at the door. She had to get revenge on Chen Bainian for this, and she couldn't let the fright go unnoticed.

As for giving Chen Bainian his "first autographed photo," that was just a matter of convenience.

The comments section was successfully swayed:

-Is Chen Gou starting a new game?

Holy crap, is this guy incredibly efficient?!

Jiang Yiting was a little confused, and even wondered what kind of jokes her viewers were making that she couldn't understand and that needed to be "beeped out."

Fortunately, there's never a shortage of "class representatives" in the live stream:

-What is "Endurance Bro"? Who is "Endurance Bro"?

- Chen Bainian, the founder of Longevity Games, isn't his studio called "The Longevity Game Studio"? Longevity means long-lasting or enduring.

-So that's what makes it last (sudden realization.jpg)

Is it the kind of longevity I'm thinking of? (doge)

Upon seeing the explanation, Jiang Yiting almost burst out laughing.

She never expected that her "little brother" would have such a unique and meaningful nickname in private.

However, she didn't delve into the topic, simply saying, "Well, Professor Chen's new project has started, and he said it will be available to everyone in about two months."

That was fast! The "Endurance Guy" really knows how to last!

-How are you planning to trick our Brother Lou this time? (Rubbing hands in anticipation)

"Teacher Chen said that this time it's not a 'trick' game, but a stress-relieving and exhilarating hack-and-slash Rogue-like game." Jiang Yiting subconsciously "vindicated" Chen Bainian, but then immediately stopped, "Okay, okay, I can't spoil it anymore, or Teacher Chen will come after me."

However, at this moment, Chen Bainian's attention was no longer on the live stream comments.

Almost the instant Jiang Yiting's live stream room lit up, Xu Haoran's "interrogation" began as scheduled.

A voice brimming with righteous indignation: "Old Chen! Are you there?! Emergency!"

Righteousness and Integrity: (Screenshot: Jiang Yiting's live stream)

Haoran, righteous and indignant: "Tell me the truth! What's going on?! Why does she have a key to your house?! And how can she just walk in?! What's your relationship?! What happened to being ordinary neighbors?!"

Righteous Spirit: "(Shaking wildly.gif)"

The news disappeared without a trace.

Several minutes passed, but there was still no response from Chen Bainian.

Xu Haoran didn't give up and made a phone call directly.

The phone rang seven or eight times, and just when he thought it was about to be disconnected, the call connected.

"Feed?" Chen Bainian's voice sounded as calm as ever, with Jiang Yiting's live stream faintly heard in the background.

"Old Chen! Stop pretending to be dead! I saw the message and I read it!" Xu Haoran lowered his voice, but couldn't contain his excitement. "Tell me quickly! What's going on on the '12th floor'? I'm dumbfounded! You two... this is clearly not right!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone before Chen Bainian's voice, which sounded somewhat helpless, came through: "What's going on? She lives next door, and has a key so they can look after each other, like feeding the cat. Didn't I tell you that?"

"Looking out for each other? Feeding the cat?" Xu Haoran's voice rose eight octaves. "Old Chen, you're kidding me!"

Was that tone of voice meant to look out for each other? They sounded so familiar, like they were at home!

Also, when were you able to eat spicy food? Half a spoonful! You couldn't even touch it before!

Don't tell me this was also practiced for mutual support!

"..." Chen Bainian paused for a moment, then seemed to sigh. "Tastes change. Lao Xu, you're too nosy."

"I'm just concerned about my brother's love life!" Xu Haoran said matter-of-factly. "Don't give me that! Let me tell you, I saw it all. The way you two interacted, the way you looked at each other... there's definitely something wrong!"

Are you dating "the one on the 12th floor"? Hmm? Confess!

"No." Chen Bainian answered crisply, but there wasn't much offense in his tone; instead, there was a hint of...smile?

"I don't believe it!" Xu Haoran fully demonstrated the research spirit of a programmer. "The evidence is conclusive!"

The key is irrefutable evidence!

The familiar tone is irrefutable evidence two!

Your sudden change in your ability to tolerate spicy food is irrefutable proof three!

Also, her attitude towards you is completely different from how she treats others! And you treat her the same way! Don't think I didn't notice!

"What you're seeing is all in your head," Chen Bainian said calmly. "Go get some rest; you've had a busy day."

"Rest? I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't figure this out." Xu Haoran persisted, then adopted a roundabout tactic, "Fine, then tell me first, how did you two meet?"

Seeing that Xu Haoran was starting to dig deeper into the matter, determined not to give up until he got to the bottom of things, Chen Bainian had no choice but to recount how the two of them met from the beginning.

"So when she came back she just took the key and opened the door, and what about the way you two get along, and your problem with eating spicy food?" Xu Haoran continued to press.

Chen Bainian paused, his voice calm: "'Big Brother' is now being taken care of by both of us, so giving her the key is indeed for convenience."

I usually live alone, so sharing meals is normal for me. We're good neighbors and friends.

After listening, Xu Haoran pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "You really don't have any ideas at all?"
