Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Good heavens, my future is bleak and I'm facing a life-or-death situation. Alright, Miss, you tell me, I can still hold on."

Xu Lin bravely faced death.

"Oh, what I was trying to say was that becoming the King of Pots is your only contribution to ESC."

"puff!!"

"Am I really that bad? I've worked so hard for half a year, and now I'm just being blamed by ESC?"

Xu Lin jumped up and down, attempting to perform CPR on himself.

"Oh my, aren't you a senior figure at XP Company?"

Xu Youyue opened her mouth and a gust of cold wind blew out, directly extinguishing Xu Lin's last breath.

"Young Miss, who did you learn your Yin-Yang magic from? Your skill proficiency has increased so quickly..."

[Of course it's fast! Don't you have any idea who you learned from, Brother Ruoye?]

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】

[Suddenly I realize what the young lady said makes sense; it seems that Wakaba-nii is indeed partly responsible for the chaotic state of ESC.]

Xu Youyue ignored her antics; the show's entertainment value was almost achieved, and there was still serious business to discuss.

"Speaking of which, what was the theme of our collaboration today?"

"Didn't we already say there were no plans..."

"Hurry up, Lan Ruoye, we're about to lose the conversation."

The young lady rolled her eyes. It's been half an hour since the show started and they're still chatting like this. Even if they're having a good time, you can't do this on a live stream.

Otherwise, Sister Feng, who worked so hard to collect the photos, would beat them both to death when she got back.

"Oh. Okay, actually I saw that the tag for the cross-dressing battle in the association is really popular today. Since my group members and I are also participating, I thought we'd check it out together."

Xu Lin immediately became serious and said, word by word.

As mentioned before, the live stream editing of ESC members was actually done by employees hired by the boss. However, since there were more streamers than staff, the video output was not very good. So their fans formed a self-organized subtitle group and asked Xu Lin and the others for permission to edit their favorite clips.

Believe it or not, they have quite a few fans. Xu Lin only has just over 120,000 fans, but the Wild Subtitle Group has over 20,000 fans.

I wonder how many of them are actually fans of the young lady... They're constantly editing clips of their crossover events, virtual crossover events, and even moments when they mention each other. This shouldn't be called a subtitle group; they should just rename it "Sakura Wakaba Sugar Factory."

"Well, actually, I'm quite interested in the group members' cross-dressing, but..."

"But what?"

Xu Lin pressed for more information out of curiosity.

"But actually I'm more interested in Wakaba's women's clothing. She can even imitate voices, and she seems like someone I could take out shopping with."

On the screen, Xu Ying gave Ruoye a very 'dangerous' look. Everyone was an experienced pilot and knew how to act to show the proper feeling at this moment.

[Wakaba-kun: Danger!]

I want to watch it too!

[Let me visit!]

"My women's clothing? That's not a good idea..."

Xu Lin wanted to slap himself right now. What was he doing being so curious? Why did he have to come up with a cross-dressing appreciation project? Now look what he's done, he's pushed himself into the fire!

"I think it's okay. After some cleaning, it should still look presentable."

Xu Lin used to be presentable if she dressed up, but now she doesn't need to dress up at all and can just put on a skirt.

"I don't think so."

Xu Lin quickly denied it.

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. My biggest wish this year is to have Wakaba wear a maid outfit to serve me tea, water, do laundry, and mop the floor."

"Goodness, Miss, you've had quite a beautiful dream."

Xu Lin rolled his eyes.

To be honest, Miss.

Serving tea and water is one thing, but I'm the one doing everything in this house, from laundry and mopping to grocery shopping and cooking.

P.S.: I was just making a joke, why are you guys turning it into a Soviet joke? www

Give me more! Pear syrup!

Section 158 Leave of Absence

With the resurgence of the epidemic and another lockdown here, my daily routine has become increasingly chaotic. You can probably tell from my recent update schedule; it's getting more and more bizarre.

Plus, I've only been able to type on my phone lately, and this morning I woke up to find my thumb incredibly sore and typing was extremely painful, so I'm taking a day off to rest.

Yeah, there won't be an update tonight!

Chapter 42, Section 159: Women's Clothing Appreciation Conference

After they started living together, Xu Lin did all the housework, which is why Sister Yan always said that she was full of wifely strength.

She tied her white hair into a neat single ponytail, revealing her delicate and fair nape. She wore a loose white short-sleeved shirt paired with light blue shorts, and then put on an apron with slight stains.

Anyone who didn't know him would never have guessed that Xu Lin used to be a respectable man.

But our young lady isn't doing nothing, is she?

At least when Xu Lin was doing housework, she would sit on the sofa with her knees drawn up to cheer her on.

Yes, that's crucial; it's the main motivation for Xu Lin, a lazy person living alone, to become diligent.

"Alright, now it's time to get down to business and start the cross-dressing appreciation segment. I wonder if all the members of the subtitle team are here? If so, please raise your hands so I can see them, okay?"

Xu Lin delivered his opening remarks in a serious tone, as if the live broadcast had just begun.

"Do you want to raise your hand and let them be publicly executed?"

The young lady immediately retorted.

"Of course not! The people who participated in the crossdressing competition must love crossdressing and be proud of it. Releasing their photos now is a way of acknowledging them, isn't it?"

"What he said sounds somewhat illogical."

Xu Youyue nodded, and then she saw the comments posted by the subtitle team members.

【I didn't, I didn't, I was forced.】

They said if I didn't crossdress, they'd make me do keyboards for a whole week straight!

"Oh, this..."

Xu Lin also saw these two comments, paused for a moment, and then made a decisive move!

Pretend you didn't see it!

"So it seems that all of our subtitle team members have arrived. Those who haven't arrived can watch the pre-recorded episodes or clips."

"Hey, hey, hey, Wakaba, your team members seem pretty unwilling, huh?"

"Hey, these guys are just secretly passionate. They usually post pictures of themselves in women's clothing to the group chat like crazy, sometimes a dozen times a day. But now they're being reserved. You know what reserved means?"

"Wow, Ruoye, you've been chatting in the group a lot lately."

"Young Miss, your focus is getting stranger and stranger..."

Xu Lin silently complained. Anyway, her collaboration with the young lady was, at least, unparalleled in terms of吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

He's a veteran crosstalk performer.

"Alright, alright, we've built up this for ages, let's get to the crossdressing! First up, a crossdressing photo from our team editor, Xueyuyu!"

Xu Lin manipulated the mouse to place a photo of a woman in drag on the screen, and even specially labeled the photo owner's ID next to it, publicly executing her, which was very hardcore.

"As you can see, our Xueyuyu's women's clothing is quite exquisite. Her black stockings, beautiful legs, and perky buttocks are quite impressive."

As soon as Xu Lin finished speaking, the young lady who had just been speaking up for the subtitle team enthusiastically joined in with her comments.

"Hmm, but Xueyuyu needs to do more work on her face. She should have put on some makeup beforehand. Just wearing a mask is too perfunctory. Her legs are quite nice, though. I'm taking the picture."

Good heavens, this is a public execution!

【I'm going to die! Sakura Wakaba, I hate you all!】

"Huh? Did a fish just swim by suddenly? The comments were too fast, I didn't see it clearly."

Xu Lin pretended to speak, and then explained to the cross-dressing men.

"Miss, I have to say something about them not wearing makeup. Our group members are a bunch of shut-ins who have to dress up as women to comfort themselves. Where are we going to find girls who know how to do makeup for them? Isn't that just making things difficult for them?"

"Why do I feel like you're persecuting the subtitling team?"

The young lady asked suspiciously.

"Persecution is impossible. If I persecuted them, who would take care of me in women's clothing?"

Xu Lin quickly denied it.

[That really hurts, Ruoye-ge]

[Waaaaah, if I had a girlfriend, who would want to wear women's clothes!]

"However, our Xueyuyu is different from the others. As far as I know, she's actually being forced to work, so let's not be too demanding. Next one."

"Alright then!"

The young lady didn't dwell on it much and just watched as Xu Lin posted another photo of someone in women's clothing.
