Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Are you calmed down now?"

Looking at the ammunition in her hand, Xu Youyue sighed in confusion.

"Hmm... let's forget about it for now, I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

The white-haired girl shrugged, indicating that she and the young lady would eventually have a showdown over this matter, but for now, let's call a truce, since we still have a live stream to do.

[Pfft www This is the first time I've ever seen such a real pillow fight]

[sc100: Pillow fee www]

These two are hilarious! Hahaha!

[The waitress's voice is so lovely, Ruoye, go and recruit her as a VTuber!]

"What the heck is this 'pillow fee'? We haven't even broken it yet!"

"And that young lady would never be a VUP. She's the daughter of the hotel owner, she just works at home during the holidays."

Yes, that's right. In reality, don't even think about beautiful older women giving birth; most are women in their thirties or forties. The one Xu Lin and her friends encountered was definitely a rare species, and an SSR dressed as a maid at that.

[Grass, she's a rich woman]

"Wouldn't that be even better!?"

[Waaaaah, I want a rich older sister too!]

Please don't have such unrealistic fantasies.

With his eyes half-closed, Xu Lin retorted.

Even today's VTubers don't have the chance to get married, yet these guys think that just because a beautiful, rich older woman debuted, they have a chance too?

I want to eat fart!

A maid outfit like that costs 10,000 yuan!

[Waaaaah, please stop cursing!]

[A shut-in doesn't need a girlfriend]

"Well, after all, you guys are more interested in fencing than sheathing your swords."

[Shocking! The male bronze statue is actually me!]

"So, Miss, what do you think about this whole thing where guys are trying to get rich second-generation heiresses to support them?"

"Huh? Oh, this."

For some reason, Xu Youyue had been lost in thought. She first recalled Xu Lin's question before continuing.

"I don't have any particular ideas. You have to have dreams to live, right?"

The young lady seemed to genuinely have no ideas, but the words she uttered were even more heartbreaking than Xu Lin's. Seeing that the comments section was about to turn into a funeral procession, Xu Lin quickly put on a show and started singing.

"Dreams always seem so far away... Should I give up?"

"Flowers bloom and fade, another season has come; where are you, spring!"

Xu Youyue subconsciously continued, then realized what she had done and chuckled as she nudged the silly white-haired girl.

"What?! That's not what I meant at all!"

This couple is so in sync, their combined efforts are truly heartbreaking.

[Waaaaah, stop showing off, stop showing off, I'll give up, okay?]

Ah... this is such a nostalgic song.

"It does seem quite old. Miss, do you remember what year this song was from? I just suddenly thought of it."

"Old Boys... I don't really remember it, but the last time I heard it was probably in junior high school. Back then, the whole class would hum a few lines whenever they had nothing to do. It was super popular, and the melody was easy to remember, so it left a deep impression on me."

"Eh~"

This song really brings back memories; it was a must-sing at karaoke back in the day.

[You guys actually listened to this in middle school... I was already in high school back then.]

Wow, you guys are actually college students! I thought it was just a persona.

"Huh? Didn't we already talk about the age issue? Miss and I are both 21, we're alumni."

Xu Lin was a little confused. How come these people don't believe the truth but believe lies so quickly?

She said that the audience thought her 21-year-old age was a persona, and when she joked that she was dating a rich girl, they cheered on the spot, which was quite confusing.

"Who's twenty-one?"

Xu Youyue turned her head to look at Lin Jiang.

"Us."

Xu Lin scratched his head and repeated it again.

"I am a vibrant eighteen-year-old!"

"..."

Xu Lin rolled his eyes, too lazy to say anything to her.

Anyway, no matter what, this person is eighteen years old, without any change whatsoever.

The problem is that some people actually believe it!

When Xueyue first arrived, she always thought that the young lady was really eighteen years old. She even said strange things to Xu Lin in private, such as, "Sakura-senpai is so cute. As expected of an eighteen-year-old beauty, she's amazing!"

Xu Lin couldn't bear to expose this beautiful misunderstanding at the time and just brushed it off with a casual remark. In the end, it was only because Yuan Chu couldn't stand it anymore that she told Xue Yue the truth.

From then on, Xueyue's trust in the first generation plummeted. In her words, "All the seniors are scheming! I, Xueyue, would rather jump off the twelfth floor than believe you again!"

But Xueyue's apartment complex only has eleven floors. I don't know how she's going to jump. Is she going to do pole vaulting?

Ahem, I digress. Let's get back to the main topic.

"Alright, alright, young lady, you'll stay young forever, you're still Yakumo Yukari, okay? I don't know who was wearing all pink last time, crouching down with their head in their hands, pretending to be Remi. That was a dignified vampire who was hundreds of years old."

Xu Lin rolled his eyes in annoyance, his sarcastic remark disgusting her.

"Hmph~ I am a beautiful girl, and you can't be envious of me, Wakaba!"

However, the young lady didn't care at all; it seemed that age was not the key issue at all, and whether or not she was a beautiful young girl was what she cared about.

Although Xu Linju's two companions were older, they were indeed beautiful 'young girls'!

[Gap Warning]

[Okay, it's confirmed that the young lady is definitely not eighteen years old.]

[A real 18-year-old girl: likes to act mature, always says she's old, and may not even remember her own age. A fake 18-year-old girl: answers 18 without hesitation when asked her age.]

"To be honest, that's true."

"When I was eighteen, I really didn't remember how old I was. I had to calculate it when relatives asked. Age is something that you care about more and more as you get older, reaches a peak in your thirties, and then cares about less and less."

Xu Lin nodded. What the audience said was so true that she couldn't refute it at all.

Isn't the rich girl next door a perfect example? And Yuzu, who just turned eighteen this year, is a counterexample—her eighteenth birthday passed by unnoticed while she was traveling. She just bought herself a cake and received red envelopes from her family, and that was it.

Even the pomelo that Xu Lin gave her as a coming-of-age gift was received a month after her birthday.

"It's about time, so let's end the live stream here for today. I'm sleepy."

Xu Lin yawned, looked back at the young lady who was also very sleepy, and prepared to end the broadcast.

"Hmm, I'm sleepy too. I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's leave it at that for today. Go get some sleep."

【88888】

[Quickly get into bed]

[Fast forward to paid content.]

"So."

The girls exchanged glances and silently counted to two in their minds.

Goodnight~ *2

P.S.: My mom dragged me shopping today, I'm exhausted, next chapter will be later.

Chapter 46, Section 236: A live stream is too long; watching a short clip is also good.

The unexpected yet long-planned day trip to the amusement park has come to an end.

In the period leading up to the debut of the fifth generation of new members of ESC, this unexpected trip brought a lot of attention to the entire ESC company. Everyone talked about the events of that day in the chat, and many snippets were made.

Forehead...

Apart from Xu Lin and the young lady.

Yes, the two who should have talked about this trip, Xu Lin and the young lady, didn't mention anything about that day in the three days after the amusement park. Xu Lin was playing games non-stop to make up for lost time, while the young lady sang for two days in a row, and on the third day she went to collaborate with people from other companies.

The linked object is Jiji.

Since the last collaboration, Xu Lin and Ji Ji's contact has remained lukewarm. They only chat occasionally, and Ji Ji asked a question in surprise when Xu Lin 'revealed' his true gender. Apart from that, there has been no other contact.

So she didn't know how Xu Youyue got in touch with Jiji.

Moreover, preparations for the collaboration began immediately after returning from the amusement park, and the event was officially held last night.

As mentioned before, aside from the song episodes featuring the young lady, Xu Lin doesn't actually watch every single one of her live streams. At most, he'll watch clips of particularly interesting parts and catch up on the best episodes by watching the recordings. So, Xu Lin didn't watch this collaboration live stream.

White-haired guy: Monster Hunter is so much fun!

Yeah, Lin-chan recently started a new Monster Hunter save file, planning to try out some weapons she hasn't used before. After completing Monster Hunter World, she'll completely quit the game and wait for Rise of Ages, you know? (Bird Mom face)

However, just because she doesn't watch it doesn't mean the audience won't. In fact, the live stream between Miss and Jiji was particularly interesting and packed with information.

The following are two clips from the live stream.

"Speaking of which, the demon has been working out and dieting lately, right, Miss?"
