Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Yuzu stood in the elevator, repeatedly pressing the close button with her finger, while making a sarcastic remark.

As the elevator doors closed, Yuzu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The door opened.

Xu Lin pressed the open button from outside.

As for Sister Yan, she was standing in front of the elevator, arms crossed, looking at her with a cold smile.

Yuzu's legs went weak with fear. She kept blaming herself for not taking the stairs directly, because those two guys in slippers definitely wouldn't have been able to catch up with her.

"Tell me? What's the deal with that video?"

The white-haired girl rested her hand on the elevator door, her crimson pupils appearing unusually terrifying.

. . . . . .

"Sister-in-law, you big liar!"

Yuzi, wearing a collar, knelt on the sofa with a resentful expression.

"Didn't you promise to protect me?!"

The young lady put down her chopsticks and smiled gently.

"Xu Ying said she would protect you, what does that have to do with me, Xu Youyue?"

Yuzu was stunned.

Holy crap, is this even going to work?!

She suddenly realized that since starting university, her rivals seemed to be on a completely different level. Xu Lin was another story altogether, and she still hadn't figured out how dark and despicable her own brother's heart was.

Iris, on the other hand, had many more years of life experience than her and was also quite intelligent, so she could basically teach Iris without much effort.

Not to mention Sister Yan, even if she didn't use her brain, her fists alone would be enough to suppress her.

"Sister-in-law, I used to think you were the only one with a conscience among us..."

"Ok?"

Xu Youyue suddenly realized that her public image had collapsed. She was stunned for a moment, and quickly coughed twice to prove her innocence.

"Ahem, it was all Lin-chan who taught me!"

"Holy crap, Youyue, please be reasonable..."

Xu Lin was about to retort subconsciously, even uttering his classic catchphrase, but the young lady's two-finger gesture silenced him.

"Ok?"

"..."

Xu Lin fell silent.

She forgot that Xu Youyue never reasoned with her.

"..."

Yuzu also fell silent.

She now knows who's in charge in this family.

Dude, you shameless bastard! You're clearly henpecked, yet you still have the nerve to say you're the boss at home?!

"Alright, now we're even. How about we put these things behind us?"

Sister Yan, on the other hand, was smiling quite happily.

She was worried that today's events would get out and ruin her image within the company, especially the fourth generation members, who were the children she had personally mentored. She couldn't let them know about these things.

Now that's good, the only person who might have leaked information, Yuzu, also has a dark history in their hands, so we can rest assured.

She believed that with Yuzu's intelligence, it was impossible for her to do something so foolish as to cause mutual destruction.

As for Yuzu, would she dare to refuse?

If these things are released, Xu Lin and Sister Yan will be socially dead, but she will probably really die!

She's still young! She doesn't want to turn into a steamed pomelo!

"Sister-in-law, you big asshole!"

In the end, Yuzu could only complain resentfully about the young lady.

"You planned this from the very beginning to make me take the blame, didn't you!"

The young lady simply smiled slightly at this.

"How could that be? We're as close as family!"

[Haha, I didn't believe your nonsense!]

Chapter 97, Section 288: Half an Hour Before the Premiere (Part 1)

Although it was ridiculous and excessive, this was Xu Lin and her friends' morning.

It's a warm and healing daily life filled with laughter, banter, and lively conversation.

Ultimately, the four, who had achieved a kind of mutual restraint and were all dead, tacitly kept the secret.

They prevented the incident from spreading from that night until the following morning.

After all, even the pomelo at the bottom of the food chain has a backup plan, okay? Before she came, she had uploaded the video that the young lady sent her to a private cloud drive that no one else knew about except her.

I really like what Sister Yan said: as long as we both have each other's dark history, it's as if we have no dark history at all.

The only one without a dark past, Yu Zi, was also forced to create a dark past after being suppressed by Xu Lin and Sister Yan with force.

This is the best insurance.

In the blink of an eye, time flies, and the end of the month has arrived. The three first-generation members are busy preparing for the end-of-month song performance and giving small gifts to the captains. Two days have passed quickly.

Yuzu, a free spirit, also ushered in her real debut broadcast while not paying attention to her studies.

Are you nervous?

Yuzu is actually quite similar to Xu Lin. No wonder Yuan Chu initially saw her as a scumbag version of Miss Lin. They both have slightly abnormal thought processes, both like to say strange things, both are gentle, and both are stubborn.

So even though her own brother lived in the building next door, she didn't choose to do her live stream under Xu Lin's care. Instead, she went to the home of Yuan Chu, which was farther away.

Well, it's actually similar to how grown-up children would rather ask friends for help than tell their parents when something happens. It's also quite normal for people who live away from home to always report good news and not bad news.

"It's alright, I wasn't actually that nervous."

Yuzu looked at Iris, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, but her mind was filled with the image of her sitting there watching her live stream a few days ago, and she felt quite emotional.

"It's good that you're not nervous. I'm going to take a nap now, you can start your live stream!"

Yuan Chu's period hasn't ended yet, and she's been feeling very tired and sleepy lately. In addition, she likes to stay up late and her sleep quality is poor, so even though it's 8 pm, the prime time for sleep, she's already feeling a bit sleepy.

Because it was arranged beforehand that Youzi would be doing a live stream here, her live stream started much earlier today, ending at 7 o'clock, leaving a full hour for Youzi to have psychological counseling.

But since Yuzu wasn't that nervous, she saved herself the trouble, didn't she?

"Eh~ Sister Tobi-chan~"

Yuzu drew out her voice in dissatisfaction. Although she wasn't as nervous as she had imagined, she was still a little apprehensive!

"Stop messing around, let me sleep for a while."

Yuanchu, however, did not indulge her. She yawned and turned her back to Yuzu.

She was much more nervous than Yuzu when she first aired, and no one was there to put psychological pressure on her.

"Can you talk to me for a bit? I can't play anything anymore!"

When anxiously waiting for something that makes you nervous to begin, unless you have the mental fortitude of Xu Lin or are naturally dull-witted, it will always be difficult to concentrate.

She has already checked the equipment and OBS settings three times, but there is still half an hour until eight o'clock, and she can't play on her phone at all, so she is very bored.

"Want to chat? Sure, how about you tell me a bedtime story?"

The fledgling kite left a comment without giving a clear answer.

She wasn't actually that sleepy that made her want to fall asleep immediately; it was more like a May sickness—she was listless and uninterested in doing anything, and preferred to sleep.

But it's still nice to listen to the stories.

"Then let me tell you about some of my past romantic experiences?"

"Row."

"Yes, the first one."

“There used to be a girl who liked me. She was different from other girls; she was gay from the beginning.”

“I never actively flirted with her, but she just appeared in my life without me even realizing it.”

"She wasn't my type. She wasn't big-breasted, but she had a very innocent face, the kind of face that makes you feel like a first love. I can't remember exactly what she looked like, but I vaguely remember that she had a beautiful smile."

Yuzu began to tell her story from the past. She didn't know if Yuzu was listening, but she had kept this matter to herself for a very long time. Now she had finally found someone to confide in, so she couldn't hold back any longer when she had the chance.

"In the past, I have had the thought that it would be nice to spend my whole life with someone. This is different from what I said about treating feelings as just a game. That time, I almost got myself into it."

"We've gone off on a tangent www."

"I met that girl in my second year of high school. At that time, my reputation at school was already terrible, and I didn't know why she liked me. Every time I asked her, she would just smile and shake her head, saying, 'It's a secret~'"

On the bed, Tobi-chan's ears twitched, and Yuzu noticed this small detail and smiled gently.

"Later, we got together."

"I never disliked her, not at all, but it took almost two months for us to get together. During the first month, I had another girlfriend from another class, so she didn't bother me. She would just appear around me occasionally, exchange a few words, and then leave in a flash."

"In the second month, I broke up with my boyfriend, and she openly started clinging to me like a clingy little puppy, always walking beside me with a gentle smile and turning her head to look at my face."

Yuzu's voice was soft as she told the story, devoid of any emotion.

It seemed like just casual conversation to ease the tension, yet it made you want to smile.

"Although we weren't together for that month, we were practically inseparable. Everyone was saying she was my girlfriend, and she didn't deny it. When I asked her what she thought, she just smiled and said, 'Guess!'"
