Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Xu Lin couldn't even feed her cards, mainly because you simply can't predict a novice's hand.

"Then she even laughed it off. Every time I didn't get a point, everyone would let me win, but she was always the one who would finish me off!"

Xu Youyue's voice came from the tablet again, making Xu Lin, who was just explaining, instantly feel awkward.

"Brother, is there anything else you want to say?"

Yuzu's eyes had changed from doubt to certainty.

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more."

Xu Lin continued to be stubborn without batting an eye.

It's true that she did the last blow, but she can't admit it, nor can she refuse.

The main thing is that the young lady's lament is quite beautiful.

It's a bit addictive.

"Hey bro, you better treat your wife better, or you might make her angry and kick her out. I won't be there to comfort her, okay?"

Yuzu sighed. When other couples play games, the guy usually protects the girl and secretly gives her points. But her own brother just focuses on the girl and plays. It's unbelievable.

He truly is a dead straight man.

Of course, there are girls who are particularly good at games who will protect boys, but in such cases, most boys' pride probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"I've been really good to her, I haven't won even when she discarded a winning tile!"

Xu Lin touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and forced an explanation.

"So, how many rounds did you guys play that day, bro?"

"Fifth inning..."

"You missed three times in five innings!?"

Yuzu exclaimed in surprise. She couldn't understand why her brother could make such a wonderful girl like Miss Xu so devoted to him.

Why can't she meet someone like that?!

"It's a wonder that the young lady can keep playing with you!"

"After all, she herself asked us to give her special mahjong training in preparation for the live stream..."

Xu Lin has always been a very straight man when it comes to games. He firmly believes in the adage that you can't get stronger without being beaten, and he thinks that if you want to play games, you should only look at your skills, regardless of gender.

Moreover, since the young lady is a streamer, and mahjong will be part of her live stream content, the fact that Xu Lin went easy on her during her special training was already the greatest kindness she could show.

"Brother, haven't you played JX3? How come you still don't understand such a simple principle as 22-man guilds dying together and 55-man guilds disbanding?"

A couple of years ago, Xu Lin and Youzi both got hooked on JX3 and played it on and off for about a year and a half. However, they didn't follow the same path and mostly played their own games.

Yuzi is a PvE player who prioritizes appearance over gameplay. He plays JX Online 3 for the sake of romance. After figuring out how to play the game, he got a military character and changed his appearance every day. He spent all his time flirting with girls and ruined the reputation of his account in just one year.

Xu Lin is a pure PvP player. He's a cute boy, a member of the Beggars' Sect, and spends all his time squatting at the arena entrance and the old Chang'an flag-planting area. His appearance is just a set of clothes and white hair. He raised his character from scratch. What's romance? I play Swordsman Online!

"You know I was busy planting flags back then, I didn't have time to talk about this."

Xu Lin rolled his eyes at Youzi. The two siblings were not on the same path in this game. The only thing they had in common was when Youzi got into trouble and asked her older brother to bring a few relatives and friends to the respawn point to rescue her.

"What about the 818 story post I showed you?"

"It's pretty good as a bedtime story, but I always fall asleep before I hear the beginning and never hear the ending."

"Oh, this..."

Yuzu was speechless.

At that moment, the young lady's resentful complaints came through the tablet again.

"That guy Ruoye is such a straight, stinky straight man!"

Yuzu chimed in.

"Brother, you are a true man, even when you transform into a girl, you are as straight as steel."

Chapter 137 A Wonderful Encounter on Christmas Day

The night market is more bustling than usual on Christmas Eve.

The flashing neon lights illuminated the city as brightly as if it were daytime. The bustling commercial district in the city center was filled with crowds, everyone immersed in the carnival atmosphere, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of lovey-dovey couples.

Street vendors selling flowers and apples are everywhere, and the noise of traffic seems to become the background music to this scene, making everything blend into this world. In this atmosphere, no one is special, and everyone can laugh out loud in the street.

Over there, a stylish girl with pigtails skipped happily ahead, occasionally glancing back at the boy following closely behind. Over here, seemingly over a trivial matter, a boy tightly embraced his girlfriend and forcefully kissed her, instantly dispelling all his resentment.

There were also groups of two or three same-sex friends walking together through this bustling street.

Xu Lin and Xu Youyue mingled in the crowd, seemingly immersed in their own world, oblivious to the commotion.

"Young Miss, with so many people around, why are we going out..."

Xu Lin looked up and saw that she couldn't see the end of the crowd at all, given her short stature. She complained to herself.

She doesn't like going out on holidays at all. Before, when she didn't have a girlfriend, she didn't want to go out and be seen by other couples. Now that she's a VUP shopping street, she can go out anytime, so she's even less willing to go out.

"Of course, it's to enjoy the atmosphere! Don't you think the pedestrian street is different from usual today?"

Xu Youyue glanced at Xu Lin with displeasure, her expression full of sarcasm.

This is their first Christmas together, so of course they have to go out and have some fun!

"I don't think it's any different from usual..."

Xu Lin glanced at the man beside him, who was carrying several large and small bags of clothes that his girlfriend had bought on a shopping spree, and was frowning as he took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay for flowers for his girlfriend. It was as if he was seeing himself a moment later.

"Ok?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing the young lady's threatening snort, Xu Lin immediately backed down.

Oh well, it's just one night. It's rare for the young lady to be happy, so I'll stay and keep her company.

"Speaking of which, I've been calling Sister Yan all day, but she hasn't come out. Could something have happened?"

Nodding in satisfaction, the young lady let go of the sensible Xu Lin, then frowned again and said...

"I was hoping to go shopping for cosmetics with Sister Yan. Without her, I have no one to discuss them with."

As she spoke, Xu Youyue glanced at Xu Lin with some disdain. This guy had been a girl for half a year and still didn't know how to do makeup. What use was she to him?

"Sister Yan..."

Xu Lin looked up at the sky, but swallowed the words he was about to say.

That guy's probably at home right now, unkempt, sitting in front of his computer, drinking and scrolling through WeChat Moments and Weibo, spitting out any couples showing off their love and calling them "die-hard social butterflies."

She might even take another big gulp of wine and complain about why all her colleagues at ESC were taking leave in pairs, leaving her the only one with nothing to do but do livestream at night.

This was an invitation from her best friend Xu Youyue, whom she dotes on. If someone else had invited her out for Christmas Eve to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), she would have been subjected to a barrage of punches from Xu Youyue, right?

"Yes, Sister Yan, I spent Christmas with her the past two years!"

The young lady glanced at Xu Lin strangely, then continued talking without realizing it. She then saw a shiny toy stall on the street and hopped over to it.

She is really happy today.

"That's good..."

Xu Lin was only halfway through his sentence when he saw the young lady dart several meters away like a big black rabbit, the half-sound stuck in her throat for a long time.

He shook his head again and slowly walked over.

There weren't many people around the stall, except for a pair of girls who were also picking out cheap, glowing headbands. One of the white-haired girls, who looked a lot like Xu Lin, was holding a rabbit ear style headband.

That makes sense, since there are stalls like this every few steps along the roadside these days, and this isn't exactly a good location, so it's normal that there aren't many people here.

Those two girls were a little unusual, which slightly caught Xu Lin's attention.

They were actually speaking Japanese.

Xu Lin is a Japanese major, and from what the white-haired girl said, it should be, "Buy this and give it to Tsukino, she'll definitely like it."

"Xu Lin, Xu Lin, look at this! It's so cute!"

Without any hesitation, the young lady picked up a yellow, somewhat deformed hair accessory from the stall. Xu Lin stared at it for a long time before realizing that what looked like a pile of poop was actually Pikachu's lightning bolt-shaped tail.

She only realized what it was when she saw the Pikachu pattern printed on the front.

"Buy it if you like it."

Xu Lin skillfully took out her phone to pay the bill. She was already used to the young lady's strange cuteness. It was just a headdress that looked like Sun Wukong's headband in the front and had a lightning bolt in the back. It just looked like her head was being struck by lightning when she wore it.

She didn't even have the desire to complain.

"Yes! This is absolutely perfect for you!"

The young lady laughed happily and picked up the 'lightning-struck head' hair accessory, about to put it on her head.

"Oh, this..."

Xu Lin's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone on the ground.

The "Head Struck by Lightning" hair accessory was the name Xu Lin had just given to Wan Ying. She thought anyone who wore it would definitely have their head struck by lightning, but she never expected that karma would come so quickly.

In the end, it was the Japanese girl with long pink hair who saved Xu Lin's life. She put a bunny ear headband on her long pink-haired female companion and had hair about the same length as Xu Lin's. She was wearing a cool leather jacket. She came over with a giggle and said to the young lady.

"Hahaha, miss, this isn't suitable for your girlfriend to wear!"

"Eh? So you're from the Night Sea?"

The young lady had obviously overheard the two unfamiliar girls talking in Japanese, but with so many foreigners in Yehai City, it wasn't strange to see two Japanese girls shopping together, so she didn't pay any attention.

Unexpectedly, this white-haired girl spoke fluent Tokyo and Shanghai accents simultaneously, and was also excessively beautiful, making it impossible to tell whether she was Japanese or Chinese.

"I am of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent~"

The white-haired girl gave a mischievous smile and pulled the pink-haired girl behind her over as well.

"This is my girlfriend, Misa-chan~"
