Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

The private room was steaming, and the hot pot was bubbling away, the red oil broth was rich and fragrant, and the mushroom broth was fresh and mild.

The five people squeezed around the round table, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Come on! Let's have a toast to our reunion!" Chen Xu raised his glass first, which was full of beer.

Ji Siyu smiled and gently pressed his arm, shaking the car keys in her hand: "Hey, wait! Let me make this clear first, I'm driving tonight, so none of you are going to get me drunk."

Her gaze swept over Chen Xu and Du Fan, finally landing on the cup of tea in front of Chen Bainian. She said in a light tone, "You guys should also know your limits. I can't move a drunkard."

"Got it! Sister Yu's word is law!" Chen Xu grinned and immediately chimed in, then turned to Chen Bainian and started joking, "Let's just enjoy ourselves! Second brother, change this tea for me! Eldest brother, fill his cup!"

Du Fan instinctively grabbed a beer bottle and collapsed.

Chen Bainian looked at his brothers' malicious smiles, then glanced at Jiang Yiting who was smiling at him, shook his head helplessly, but did not refuse again, letting Du Fan replace the tea with foamy beer.

"Alright, I'll risk my life to keep you company and have a drink with you guys today." He picked up his glass, looking like he was ready to go all out.

"That's more like it! Cheers!"

Cheers!

The glasses clinked together, and everyone took a big gulp.

Chen Bainian frowned, his Adam's apple bobbing as he forced down the slightly bitter liquid, a thin blush quickly spreading across his face.

"Hey, look how red his face is," Ji Siyu nudged Chen Xu, gesturing for him to look at Chen Bainian. "The aftereffects are probably kicking in soon, you guys should stop now."

She suddenly remembered what Chen Xu had told her about Chen Bainian's glorious feat of passing out after just one bottle of wine when they graduated, and quickly tried to smooth things over.

Chen Xu chuckled to indicate that he understood.

"Hey, listen to me, this is your reward." Ji Siyu skillfully blanched a slice of tripe and put it into Chen Xu's bowl, while giving Jiang Yiting a wink.

Jiang Yiting immediately understood what she meant and didn't hesitate.

"Little brother, thanks for saving my life this afternoon." She casually made up an excuse and naturally put two slices of fatty beef into the spicy hot pot for Chen Bainian next to her.

Her calling him "little brother" sounded so natural, as if the little embarrassment of the afternoon had never happened.

Instead, it carries a sense of frankness, as if to say, "Since you've discovered it, I'll just admit it openly."

Chen Bainian paused, then looked up at her.

Jiang Yiting was looking at him with a raised eyebrow, her eyes filled with a hint of slyness and encouragement.

He grunted in agreement, silently put the slice of fatty beef covered in chili oil into his mouth, his expression unchanged.

This scene was precisely captured by the three people on the other side.

Chen Xu and Du Fan exchanged a glance, then Chen Xu whispered in Ji Siyu's ear, "The second brother used to never touch spicy food, but his tastes have changed now."

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Du Fan and Chen Xu started fighting over the microphone, howling and singing popular songs from those years, while Ji Siyu laughed and covered her ears.

Jiang Yiting chatted with Chen Bainian about the game they played that afternoon, occasionally bursting into laughter at Chen Xu's off-key singing.

At this moment, the melody suddenly changed, and the intro of a song with a touch of melancholy and a lazy urban vibe began.

It's "The Twelfth Floor".

"Mine!" Jiang Yiting raised her hand for the microphone.

As the music flowed, Jiang Yiting's slightly tipsy voice rang out, carrying her unique deep and magnetic quality, echoing in the private room.

"Forgot to close that door and that window."

In the blink of an eye, autumn's chill sets in...

Ah~ Only love can make people feel good.

Ahh... love makes one so excited...

She sang with great passion, yet her brows revealed a familiar carefree spirit.

Chen Bainian leaned back on the sofa. The alcohol made his thinking a beat slower than usual, but it also made him more emotional.

He listened quietly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yiting's profile.

The voice had a timbre that was familiar from the depths of his memory, but it felt... not right.

In his memory, "Brother Lou" always carried a sense of detachment after experiencing prosperity when singing this song.

The Jiang Yiting before me, her singing voice had a touch of languidness from being drunk, yet it was also full of smiles and vibrant energy.

Even when singing a slightly melancholic tune, it cannot conceal the inherent boldness and vitality within.

This shouldn't be "Brother Lou" trapped on the "twelfth floor," this should be...

Alcohol amplifies the images in the mind:

When he first saw her after his rebirth, it was that figure speeding past him on a skateboard;

The "rogue" look of him brazenly getting him up in the middle of the night to cook wontons;

The gentleness when taking Xiao Yezi on a skateboard, and the phrase "get on the pirate ship" when taking him on a skateboard;

Those bright and lively expressions during their everyday banter...

In this life, she is so vibrant, lively, and unrestrained.

Like an unexpected "domineering" intrusion into his meticulously planned life, it suddenly brought color to his black and white world.

At this moment, she deserves the title "Brother Lou" even more.

Instead of the somewhat weary Lou Ge from his previous life.

A thought, fueled by the alcohol, emerged with crystal clarity.

After Jiang Yiting finished singing, everyone applauded and cheered.

She smiled and put down the microphone, her cheeks flushed with excitement and a little tipsy.

At this moment, Chen Bainian suddenly stood up, walked unsteadily to the karaoke machine, and quickly operated it a few times.

"Hey, second brother wants to request a song? The sun must have risen in the west!" Chen Xuqi teased.

He felt no guilt whatsoever about stirring up trouble for Jiang Yiting or Chen Bonian.

The intro begins with a song called "The Tavern," which has a more carefree and unrestrained melody and carries a touch of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry).

Chen Bainian took the other microphone, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

His voice wasn't particularly outstanding, but its slight hoarseness from drinking unexpectedly suited the mood of the song:

"...

When her smile is as beautiful as a flower,

Landscapes are captured in ink and brush.

No swords and spears can compare to your dazzling brilliance.

His figure was unrestrained and elegant.

Home is where the world is.

It couldn't overcome his lingering concern.

... "

He sang with focus, but his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yiting.

The lyrics, with phrases like "smiling face like a flower," "brilliant beauty," and "unrestrained and carefree," are all like precise depictions of the vivid image in his mind.

Jiang Yiting was stunned.

She looked at the man who was usually calm and reserved, but now, fueled by alcohol, he sang this song for her with a burning gaze.

The imagery in the lyrics wonderfully overlaps with her exhilaration while skateboarding, her triumph while arguing with him, and her current desire to be more proactive.

He was singing about her.

She was certain.

When the music ended, the private room was quiet for a moment.

Chen Bainian put down the microphone, picked up his blanket, and held it up to Jiang Yiting.

No words were spoken.

Jiang Yiting's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, and a warm current surged through her.

So this is what it feels like to actively receive a response...

She picked up her cup, met his gaze, walked over, and gently clinked it against his.

"Ding." The crisp sound was like a tacit confirmation.

The two exchanged a smile and each drank their beverage.
