Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

[lol]

"Guozi, let's go back. She was born in '98, you can't beat her!"

"My impression of Koichi was that he seemed like he was going to fall apart from the start. He would just quietly stream and play games every day, and he had absolutely no social life, let alone any collaborations."

Yiguo adjusted her mindset and started talking about the past.

"So I wanted to help him out."

"Thank you so much, Ichigo."

Koichi replied, but for some reason, it felt a bit eerie. Koichi has never been good at speaking; even a sincere thank you sounded strange.

"Later... all I wanted was to kill him!"

Then they went silent, and nobody knows what happened after that, or what the two of them were doing. Anyway, let's leave that question mark here for now.

"Ahem, okay, thank you all for your answers. I believe everyone has cast their votes by now, and our system has started tallying the results. So let's chat for a bit."

"Then I have something to say. Hosts, you all think today's showdown is the ultimate CP battle, right?"

Before the topic of frost and snow could even be brought up, Xu Lin decisively interrupted him.

"Ah, yes, that's right. That's correct."

"So you see, there are eight of us here, right?"

"Oh yeah! Why are we the only ones answering questions? The host should answer some too! I'm rooting for you guys!"

Meili suddenly realized what was going on and started stirring things up.

"Yes, yes, I've been shipping you two for ages."

Xu Youyue caught up instantly, grabbed a bundle of firewood, and threw it at Shuangxue's feet.

"Host! Host!"

Umi spilled some oil.

"In terms of common sense, it would be normal for eight people to form four couples. I believe that's also the intention of the two hosts in co-hosting the show."

Guangyi has set up the cross.

"One more! One more!"

Yiguo lit a fire.

"..."*2

Shuangxue and Xueyue were completely speechless.

Section 395, Chapter 17, still seems quite likely?

Frost and Snow were truly speechless.

"No way, what kind of live stream involves dragging the host into answering questions? Friends, is this a river?"

[In the river, that makes perfect sense]

[This Joan of Arc is very...]

[Hurry up!]

There are a lot of people who ship the Frost, Snow, and Moon pairing. In fact, one of the main reasons why ESC is promoting so many pairings is that they are so well-promoted that it's hard to tell whether it's promotion or real. The collaborations are incredibly effective.

"You guys..."

Seeing the comments, Shuangxue sighed. Oh well, he'd been bombarded with barrages of criticism so many times that he didn't care anymore. Whatever, he was tired.

"If you ask whether the comments are reasonable, then I can only conclude that Shuangxue has ulterior motives towards me. Do you think any normal person would not stir up trouble in the comments?"

Xueyue, who had been quietly listening and rarely speaking, finally spoke up and immediately started complaining.

"What should we do then? Look, the guests over there have all teamed up, Senior Xueyue."

Shuangxue was also helpless. Look at those six people over there, which one of them could he defeat? This allied forces that were stirring up trouble were invincible.

"Idiot, just announce the results!"

Xueyue was disappointed that her son was not living up to his potential.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's too late to change the subject now."

Xu Lin immediately interrupted their cooperation.

But why would Xueyue reveal this method? Wouldn't it lose its effectiveness if she revealed it? Why did she say it? Let's leave that question here for now.

Oh dear~ I really don't know why.

"Yes, yes, it's just a change in first impression, right? I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay, Brother Ruoye?"

Xueyue rolled her eyes, but the girl in front of the screen wearing gold-rimmed glasses blushed quietly.

What impression did Shuangxue have of her? She was genuinely curious—just curious! No other thoughts!

"Alright, I'll go first."

Frost and Snow also sighed.

"My first contact with Xueyue was probably in her live stream. I hadn't debuted yet at that time, and I just saw her live stream one night."

"I wonder if Wakaba-senpai and Sakura-senpai still remember that collaboration during the XP battle."

"Oh~ that time, by the way, you watched Frost and Snow too?"

Isn't that the time she deliberately blew up the toilet and it became a meme? I remember, I remember it all too well.

"Well, back then everyone was talking about the various weird things our seniors had, including things like blowing up toilets."

"Let's not talk about that anymore..."

Xu Lin slapped her face, she really regretted revealing this matter before!

"Ahem ww, anyway, for some reason, my eyes were drawn to Senior Xueyue, who was the host and not so eye-catching at the time."

"So cool! So amazing! He planned everything by himself, quietly supporting a phenomenal episode and building a stage for everyone to shine."

As Shuangxue spoke, she seemed to recall the time when she was quietly learning Xueyue's hosting style in the live broadcast room.

"What kind of light is that from the self-destructing XP?! Snow-white?!"

The young lady couldn't hold back anymore; that live stream was practically a compilation of her most embarrassing moments!

"That's what makes it interesting, that's what makes it amazing. So when I saw our company's job posting, I submitted my resume without hesitation."

Frost and Snow smiled and continued speaking.

"After that, I had more opportunities to interact with Senior Xueyue, and she became my teacher in live streaming. But my impression of her has not changed. You really are a very cool and amazing girl."

"What? You're not usually like this."

Xueyue's voice held a hint of shyness, and was incredibly soft and delicate.

Anyone would feel shy being praised like that by a junior in a live stream, in front of senior VUP friends and tens of thousands of viewers, let alone that person, whom she also had a slight liking for.

“I’m telling the truth, I swear to it.”

Shuangxue smiled and adjusted the microphone in front of the screen, raised her left hand and stretched out four fingers, then suddenly realized that she couldn't see her and this seemed a bit silly.

He lowered his hand again.

"Next up is Senior Xueyue. I'm curious about your opinion of me, Senior?"

He naturally had a way to avoid Xu Lin and the others' attempts to stir up trouble. After all, he had been in the industry for so long and had even gotten a perfect score in ESC's fire-avoidance course. His skill in changing the subject was superb, but it was precisely because of this curiosity that he hesitated.

"That's right..."

At this point, Xueyue had calmed down a bit and composed herself, carefully recalling her thoughts when she first met Shuangxue.

"At first, I didn't have a very good impression of you. During the test live stream, your crazy declaration of complete control was too greasy. It felt like you were a kind of disgusting otaku uncle."

The girl reminisced and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Later, the staff said you wanted to develop in the direction of a host, so they asked me to mentor you. It's just a company task, nothing special."

"After that, we had some private contact, and I gradually realized that you weren't so greasy after all. You were very caring and knew how to speak appropriately. Although you could be quite annoying at times, you were a very good junior."

After that, it was the first offline meeting when she stirred up trouble between Xu Lin and the young lady. She met this adorable and cheerful boy who always brought energy to those around him. She personally experienced what a legitimate boy is and what it means to be a lewd boy with a pure heart but a righteous body. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of affection for him.

But Xueyue swallowed these words before she could speak, and when she spoke again after a pause, she omitted these somewhat ambiguous thoughts.

"Anyway, my impression of Shuangxue has improved. She's a pretty good junior. It would be even better if she didn't make me work overtime next time she hosts a show..."

"Sorry, sorry ww I promise it won't happen again next time."

Shuangxue apologized with a smile, but it wasn't actually him who invited Xueyue to the collaboration this time. Instead, after Fengjie looked at her live stream plan and confirmed the invitees, she directly added Xueyue to the plan list and sent it back to Shuangxue.

As for the reason, only she knows.

"You two have a great relationship, a senior-junior relationship. I hope you answer the questions well in the next round as well."

Guangyi is now trying to drag as many people as possible into this mess, so he was the first to open his mouth and sway public opinion.

"So sweet! I'm totally shipping this couple!"

Yi Guo and his wife followed suit immediately.

"So, Umi, are we really going back? I feel like the host is sweeter than the two of us."

Meili started to back down again. She and Wumi, who were just a business couple with no romantic feelings for each other, couldn't compete with the other three couples who were just doing real-life couples!

"Are you giving up already? Who was it that said they were going to fight for second place before the show started?"

But the little one wasn't happy about it and directly mocked the sheep chestnut.
