Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Lin Ge was not intimidated at all, and touched his nose mockingly.

"Alright, alright, you two are really something. I was just spacing out for a moment and you started arguing."

Xu Youyue didn't really take their daily bickering to heart, since they were unlikely to actually fight, so she just offered some token advice.

Sure enough, Sister Yan immediately accepted the offer.

"Hmph~ I'll give Sakura face today and not punish you."

"Thank you for sparing my life, Big Sister."

Xu Lin spoke with a smile, his tone ambiguous.

"Wakaba!"

The young lady glared at her with displeasure.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Let's continue with the next round of rock-paper-scissors."

Xu Lin helplessly shrugged and changed the subject.

The fourth round is rock-paper-scissors.

Xu Lin was the one who lost.

"Is this karma for my sharp tongue?"

The white-haired girl stared blankly at her hand, which was shaped like a scissor, and made a self-deprecating remark.

"Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!"

The young lady clapped her hands happily, as carefree as a little rabbit.

"This is what they mean by 'the wicked will get their just desserts'~"

Sister Yan's tone was much lighter, and even the end of her voice had a touch of playfulness.

Our Miss Lin is really unpopular.

She finished her drink, but a few drops still stained her pale pink lips, and her clean, fair face gradually flushed with a slightly tipsy blush.

She wanted to burp, but she suppressed it, letting out a lemony smell of alcohol.

"Since you two have both chosen two people as your targets, I'll do the same for you."

The white-haired girl said this, sticking out her little tongue to greedily lick away the wine stains from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm... Let me think... This must have happened a year ago, back when ESC didn't exist yet."

Strictly speaking, today's live stream violated the unspoken rules of VUPs. After all, in theory, a VUP's story should begin from the moment she debuts. But considering that VUPs nowadays often have their real-life family members make cameo appearances, what they say doesn't seem so taboo.

It doesn't conflict with the established character settings, since their settings are more realistic, not like those Vs who debuted at zero years old. Talking about the past isn't out of place.

This could probably be called the post-VTuber era, which means that neither the audience nor the streamers care as much about the character settings anymore. They no longer treat the character settings as their lifeblood, as they did when the industry was just emerging, and every action had to conform to the character settings.

Perhaps it could also be described as a Chinese characteristic?

Regardless, it was very enjoyable for fans to see the three first-generation members talking about the past.

“At that time, Yi Yi, you were still in the student council, while I had already moved out. One day, I suddenly heard a rumor.”

"So you rejected the fiftieth person who confessed to you?"

Xu Lin glanced at Sister Yan as he spoke, because she didn't know whether the rumor was true or false.

"Seriously? I can't even remember how many I rejected, but there are actually quite a few people?"

Sister Yan's eyes widened in surprise, seemingly incredulous, but she quickly pouted and complained somewhat unhappily.

"It's pretty ridiculous, really. Everyone knows I don't want to be in a relationship, but they all say they want to be friends and then they all end up confessing their feelings."

"There were even a few girls among them. Seriously, do I look that gay?"

"To be honest, they do look quite similar."

Xu Lin subconsciously replied with a sentence.

"It's no wonder people misunderstand. Yi Yi, you really do look like a lesbian. Back then, you were like a pervert, always clinging to me, which made my roommate wonder if you liked me www."

Before Sister Yan could even lash out at Xu Lin, the young lady immediately chimed in with a laugh and a sarcastic remark.

"what!?"

Sister Yan gave them both a bewildered look, her expression seeming to say, 'Youyue, how dare you say that to me? You're the one who's gay!'

"What I'm talking about happened after that. Back then, there were rumors circulating at school that you were a lesbian, and that you and the young lady were a couple, but it wasn't made public. You had a lot of supporters for this rumor."

"But I know that's not true, you're just a straight woman with a steely personality."

So what are you trying to say?

Sister Yan's tone was somewhat dangerous; she sensed that Xu Lin was definitely not going to say anything nice.

"So I just helped you out and 'cleared up' this rumor for you."

When Xu Lin spoke, she emphasized the word "clarify" so much that it was almost instantly clear to everyone that she was being sarcastic.

Section 281, Chapter 90: First Generation Student Party (Part 5)

"Damn it! I knew it was because of the strange looks my classmates were giving me back then. Turns out it was you, Ruoye, who did this again!"

After hearing Xu Lin's words, Sister Yan reacted for a moment, and then angrily slammed her hand on the table.

"However, I did it quite discreetly at the time, using several layers of obfuscation before releasing the message. Logically, it shouldn't have spread so quickly..."

[Damn, Ruoye-kun, that's so scumbag!]

Wow, is this what a battle between women looks like? It's kind of scary.

[Holy crap, Wakaba was so cunning! She even had several layers of cover...]

When this matter was brought up, Xu Lin herself was also a little surprised. At the time, she did spread the rumor that Li Huiyan was gay out of boredom and for fun, but the efficiency of its spread completely exceeded her expectations.

The news that was released on the first day was known to everyone in the Japanese department by the second day. The third day was even more outrageous: the yuri story about Yuzuki and Yan Jie, which had been on hiatus for half a year, was actually updated!

Xu Lin also took a look, and it was written as a flashback, about Sister Yan's high school days.

The problem is that the story was made up by Xu Lin, so even though it was heavily modified, she could tell at a glance that it was a rumor he had spread.

After thinking for a moment, the white-haired girl nodded and said affirmatively.

"So the reason is probably that you look too much like a lesbian, and that rejecting fifty people who confessed to you is too much of a topic, which is why it spread so quickly. I originally thought it would take at least half a month for it to ferment and spread, but the whole department knew about it in less than three days."

"Sakura, can I beat her up?"

Looking at Xu Lin, who had a calm and distorted expression, Sister Yan clenched her fists and asked the young lady hanging on the white-haired girl without any expression.

"Just beat them up then? Why are you asking me?"

The young lady jumped off Xu Lin and took two steps back. She was clearly about to burst out laughing, but her tone was full of doubt.

Perhaps this is the self-cultivation of a VUP.

"that..."

Seeing that things were going badly, Xu Lin stopped pretending and immediately raised his hand in a French military salute.

"How about I punish myself with a drink as an apology?"

Regardless of the circumstances, spreading rumors about a girl's sexual orientation is a bit excessive. It's one thing that she and Li Huiyan were enemies back then, but she never had any sympathy for those she had enemies with, not to mention that Sister Yan had sent her to the hospital three times.

But now that they're friends, Xu Lin figured he should apologize if the matter came up again, so he readily backed down.

"You think one drink will solve everything?"

Seeing that Xu Lin's apology was decent, at least he wasn't as obnoxious as before, Sister Yan calmed down a bit, but she was still not satisfied with this half-hearted punishment.

"Then I'll drink both of your drinks this round, three drinks in total including the one I punish myself with."

The white-haired girl readily agreed to the price increase. She hadn't intended to punish herself with a drink to get rid of the matter; in fact, when she decided to bring it up before going live, she was prepared to be sent to the hospital again by Sister Yan.

but. . .

Asking for an exorbitant price and then negotiating on the spot is unacceptable.

"That's more like it."

Sister Yan sat back down.

So much time has passed, and she wasn't really that angry. Or rather, what she resented more than being angry was that she had already decided not to associate with Xu Lin during college, and that Xu Lin's impression of her had improved a lot because she felt that he and she had this tacit understanding.

In the end, it turned out that the person who was mourning her was secretly doing bad things behind her back without her noticing, which made her very angry.

There was also a hint of inexplicable resentment.

"Wakaba, that's really going too far."

The young lady also scolded Xu Lin while he was drinking.

She had heard those rumors before, and they were quite outrageous, basically portraying Sister Yan as a scumbag.

“I swear I was just bored and doing it for fun. I never expected it to spread so widely. And when I realized something was wrong, I tried to salvage the situation, but it was already out of control.”

Xu Lin drank two cups in a row and couldn't take it anymore, so he stopped and explained again.

"Speaking of which, Miss Yi Yi, don't you guys find those rumors that were circulating at school back then sound familiar?"

She poured herself another glass of wine, and the white-haired girl's face became even rosier, with a charming smile playing on her lips.

Like Sister Yan, she's the type whose mood gets better the more she drinks. She's not the noisy type, but she gets very happy and feels very relieved. Sometimes, even her steps become a little lighter.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have gotten so drunk that they blacked out after being egged on by the young lady and the boss, right?

"Now that you mention it, it does sound familiar..."

Xu Youyue pondered for a moment, trying hard to recall the rumors she had heard back then.

But Sister Yan squinted, her face showing a knowing look, clearly indicating that she had already figured something out.

"Because that's what I made up based on Yuzi's experience."

"Damn it!"
