Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Actually, I didn't expect it either." *2

The twin sisters spoke in unison.

"May I interview you? What are your thoughts after solving the case?"

Xu Youyue made a bucket shape with her right hand and stretched it out in front of the two of them, pretending to play a reporter game.

"Of course, I'd like to ask my dad to give me back my well-behaved and adorable little sister."

"Of course, I'd like to ask my dad to give me back my gentle and reliable older sister."

The two spoke in unison, then fell silent, making the entire audience in the live stream burst into laughter.

[Oh my god, hahaha, these two sisters are so entertaining!]

[Hahahaha, they really are sisters, they look so alike!]

[This is an absolutely hilarious comment; I almost laughed my abs off!]

"Um..."

Xu Youyue hesitated for a moment, and before she could figure out how to continue creating entertainment, she noticed that the two people opposite her had started playing around on their own.

"Sis (Yuzu), don't mimic me!"

The sisters pointed at each other and loudly accused one another, just like two elementary school students.

The scene appeared to be just ordinary sisters with perfect understanding, but in reality, behind the scenes, Xu Lin and Youzi were communicating in their own way.

Xu Lin: (Left eyelid twitches three times, lips move twice) Yuzi, hurry up, let's create some entertainment value.

Yuzu: (Twitches her lips, dilates her right pupil while moving her upper lip three times, and rubs her right index finger against her pant leg) Holy crap, bro, I haven't even debuted yet and you're already trying to mess with me?! Your little sister is aiming for the top of the "pure" category!

Xu Lin: (Looking puzzled, rubbing his lower eyelid, his right hand slightly clenched into a fist) Huh!? You? The end of the Clear System is the Chaotic System, Yuzu, stop messing around. If you don't do something amazing in three days after your debut, I'll change my surname to yours, okay?

Yuzu: (Shocked look, index finger tracing a circle in the air, gaze shifting between the three) Holy crap, bro, do you have any shame?! You'd better find one of us here who isn't surnamed Xu?!

That's roughly how harmonious and beautiful sisterly exchanges are.

Xu Youyue, standing to the side, was slightly worried as she watched the two men's facial expressions change wildly, their mouths twitching and their eyelids twitching incessantly.

(Rin-chan and Yuzu-chan...really, duct tape?)

How cool you think of yourself! Your micro-expressions are like those of a secret agent in the dark.

To others, you seem so simple-minded, like someone from a patient support group, or even a psychiatric ward.

Chapter 244 New Year Special - New Year's Eve Dinner Offline in a Strange World

"That's all for this year's New Year's live stream. Next, Ruoye and I are going to make dumplings."

This year's New Year's live stream was nothing special; Xu Lin and the young lady were just doing a regular live stream together.

It seems like it's been like this for a long time, but it also seems like it's only recently become like this.

VUP's career seems to have entered a "Sazae-san" mode. The audience, the Japanese girls, and Miss Xu Lin have all changed somewhat but almost not changed. Everyone's daily life is still exactly the same as before.

They wished each other a Happy New Year in the live stream.

"Yes, then let's fast forward to 2021, okay? Although there's still a little time left, let's leave it at that for today and fast forward to having a good meal, okay?"

Happy New Year!

【Happy New Year!】

Go quickly, go quickly! I'm so envious, those two look so sweet together.

"So!"

The young lady called out energetically, holding the hand of the person next to her with her right hand. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

He shouted with all his might.

Happy New Year!!! *2

. . . . .

This is the third New Year's Eve that Lin-chan and the young lady have spent together.

In the first year, Xu Lin took the young lady back to his hometown to meet his parents and spent a wonderful New Year's Eve with Youzi.

The following year, the two of them went to the young lady's house together. After experiencing a series of events, they finally had a peaceful and happy New Year.

This year, however, they will be spending it with a special pair of friends.

Pushing open the door to the room, their somewhat special friend, who had just finished her live stream at the agreed time, came out of the room where Xu Lin usually did her live streams.

"Hello! What a coincidence that you've finished too! I'm counting on you guys for this year!"

The white-haired, blue-eyed girl waved her little paws and said some familiar pleasantries, only to be glared at fiercely by the pink-haired little girl beside her.

"Thank you both for your help this year!"

The pink-haired girl has grown considerably taller in the past two years, surpassing the older white-haired girl in both figure and height. However, her cute face still retains a childlike innocence, and there is a clear difference in temperament between her and the white-haired girl, who has become quite worldly.

Yes, these two are Rino and Misa, who had a wonderful encounter with Rino and Misa on Valentine's Day.

After that first meeting, the contact information the four exchanged became the bridge for this cross-border friendship.

"Oh, this..."

Seeing Misa bowing deeply, the young lady, being a native Chinese, was indeed startled. Such a deep bow all the time must be bad for her heart!

"Misa-chan, we don't follow that custom here. Our tradition has always been that all guests are welcome. On New Year's Day, the more people the better. So, Yuzuki and I are happy that you've come. Don't think of it as a burden."

Xu Lin was also a little embarrassed, but as the head of the family, she still had to stand up at this time, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to stand up straight in front of the young lady.

After all, who knew that the body would be so sensitive after the transformation!

"I told you Misa, you overreacted..."

On the other side, Rino also complained with a helpless expression.

"It's all because Rino-nee is so unreliable!"

Realizing she had made a blunder, Misa stood up with a flushed face and couldn't help but glare at Rino again.

"Huh!? How is it my fault again!?"

Rino asked in shock.

"It's all Rino's fault for never using honorifics or paying attention to etiquette. Every time I say something, you use excuses like 'I'm Chinese, so I don't need to pay attention to these things' to get away with it! But even I know the old saying 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do' from China!"

"They really don't pay much attention to this here..."

Watching the young couple bickering (flirting), Xu Lin couldn't help but chuckle twice. Then he nudged the young lady twice with his arm and whispered something in her ear.

"Youyue, look, doesn't this look just like how you always blame me for everything, even when you're wrong?"

"you?"

The young lady looked at Xu Lin with disdain, then tossed her head and threw down a sentence before pulling Meisha to sit on the sofa.

"You and Rino are practically identical, both masters at making excuses for themselves!"

"..."

The two white-haired creatures that remained in place looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They sighed at the same time and expressed their feelings in perfect unison.

"Women...sigh!" *2

. . . . .

"Yuzuki and Misa are making dumplings in the living room, shall we go to the kitchen and cook?"

Ever since they learned that Rino and Misa were VTubers active on YouTube, and that Rino was their senior, Xu Lin and Miss spent a lot of time watching all of their recorded videos.

The same applies to Rino and Misa.

However, Rino, a veteran fan with a six-figure Bilibili UID, has been following all the members of ESC for a long time, but she doesn't usually follow them, so she doesn't have a deep impression of them.

After all, even the most ruthless person can't possibly monitor a live stream with thousands of viewers on both YouTube and Bilibili at the same time, right?

So although the four of them don't meet often and mostly communicate online, they are already like old friends in terms of understanding each other.

"In short, I can't just sit around doing nothing, right? Xu Lin, is this your way of treating guests?"

Rino rolled her eyes and complained sarcastically.

"Come and cook if you want to eat, otherwise there won't be any for you at the dinner table later."

However, Xu Lin rolled his eyes and retorted directly.

Having known each other for three years, they had a general idea of ​​each other's personalities. Not to mention, Rino and Xu Lin were very similar in personality and temperament, so their relationship developed like a rocket, and they had long since reached the level of close friends who were good at bickering.

Such a verbal exchange is still within the realm of everyday life.

"Hey~ hey~ I can't escape this busy life no matter where I go. Xu Lin, what ingredients have you prepared?"

"Potatoes, green beans, pork ribs, lamb chops, steak, a fish, and some vegetables and pork."

"I'll take care of the steak and stir-fry. You can handle the rest yourself. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Misa and I can't handle spicy food very well."

"Then the lamb chops can be stir-fried with chili."

"Hey! You better stop this now!"

"Hahahahaha."

They were arguing back and forth, but they were both experienced cooks, so even while chatting, they didn't neglect their work and began preparing their meals with practiced ease.

. . . . . .

The dumpling filling was prepared in advance, with two kinds: beef and chives and eggs. As for the dumpling wrappers, since no one knew how to make them, we opted to buy ready-made ones.

There's nothing we can do. The young lady only knows how to make dumplings, not how to knead dough. Xu Lin doesn't know much about it either. If neither of them knows how, how can you expect Rino and Misa, these two Japanese people, to know how?

Stop joking, okay?

Look at Misa, she was clumsy and had to learn how to make dumplings on the spot!
