Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Because Xu Lin really did wear the exact same clothes as when they first went out together this summer, just like he said yesterday. The pants were fairly fashionable, but wasn't it a bit too bizarre to pair black hip-hop jeans with a long Mickey Mouse cartoon t-shirt?

"Well, I have something to say about that. Clothes were originally invented to keep warm and prevent sunburn. What's wrong with me pursuing comfort?"

Xu Lin wasn't unaware that his outfit wasn't good-looking, but he was mainly lazy and didn't want to buy new clothes. The outfit he was wearing was bought for him by Youzi when he was a freshman.

"Forget it, that's all nonsense. Anyway, let's go buy clothes together!"

Xu Youyue was too lazy to argue with him. His personality, which was full of twisted logic, was really hard to accept. It was difficult to win an argument with him because he had a lot of experience in dealing with this (referring to his frequent dealings with Youzi and Xu's mother), while the young lady was always arguing with him about this issue for the first time, so of course she couldn't win.

It's like you're debating with someone, and neither of you is prepared. You're encountering this topic for the first time, while the other side has debated it countless times. In that case, you're bound to lose.

"Alright, Miss, please go ahead."

Xu Lin casually scanned a shared electric scooter and made the standard butler gesture of inviting someone to get on the scooter, which made Xu Youyue speechless.

Honestly, given their family's financial situation, it's one thing for them not to drive themselves, but she never imagined they would ride an electric scooter. She still finds it a bit embarrassing to think about it now.

At that time, the two had not talked about their families. The identity of the rich girl boss cousin had not been exposed, and Xu Lin never mentioned his family. Therefore, neither of them could tell that the other was a rich second generation.

Well, Xu Lin was dressed in ordinary clothes from head to toe, so the young lady couldn't tell. But Xu Youyue was simply blind and couldn't recognize those designer brands.

There's no way to explain it. Asking a straight man who's never been in a relationship and has no interest in this area to distinguish between designer brands is like asking an elementary school student to do advanced mathematics. He simply won't know, even if you kill him.

"And so, the young lady got into my car for the first time. Well, it's a shared electric scooter, which is to be fair to be a bit more upscale than a shared bicycle."

At this point, Xu Lin made a small joke.

"Don't even think about it! If it weren't for the long distance and how tiring the bike ride was that day, you would definitely have just scanned two shared bikes!"

The young lady rolled her eyes and retorted irritably.

"So, Wakaba, how exactly did you manage to win over Sakura-chan? Teach me, teach me! I want to date a rich woman too!"

Meili was more interested in some strange and unusual places, completely ignoring the fact that her own partner was sitting next to her.

Anyway, that's how we set off for the mall.

After riding the electric scooter for twenty minutes, the two of them were numb when they arrived at the mall. It wasn't the first time Xu Lin had taken a girl on an electric scooter, but he had always taken his silly little sister before. There was no chance of any romantic feelings developing between them. He just hoped she wouldn't get too angry.

For the young lady, this was the first time in her life that a man had invited her to ride on the back of an electric scooter, and it was a shared ride! Besides finding it very interesting, she was also a little shy about being so close to him.

I'm numb, but I still need to buy clothes.

Xu Lin could clearly see that Xu Youyue instinctively headed towards the designer stores as soon as she entered the mall, but just as she was about to walk over, she paused and carefully examined the clothes Xu Lin was wearing, excluding shoes, which were worth no more than a hundred yuan. Then she went to the mall's shopping guide area to look at them more closely.

Ultimately, I took Xu Lin to a men's clothing store that was a bit pricey but still reasonably priced.

"At that time, I felt that this girl was very caring and was indeed a very good friend."

"Huh? You actually remembered something this trivial?! Suddenly I'm a little...kicked! Ugh!"

Chapter 20, Section 398: The True Story, A Vanished Carnival.

Now that the story of the young lady and Xu Lin is over, it's time for the much-anticipated Guang Yiguo segment.

It's not that their CP popularity is inferior, but compared to the Wolf and Sheep and Sakura and Ye, who live together and frequently visit each other's screens with plenty of daily interactions and sweet moments, the Yiguo CP's sweet moments are much slower and their interactions are less frequent. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to what kind of story the two will tell.

"Okay, thank you, Wakaba-senpai and Sakura-senpai. Your story is such a sweet love story. Before this, I always thought that this kind of love only existed in novels, but now it seems that we can look forward to it in real life. I also hope that everyone can find their other half."

"So, next up, the topic turns to Koichika again. How are you two feeling, any pressure?"

"The pressure is immense. I just hope that our match will adhere to the principles of fairness, openness, and impartiality. It would be best to avoid resorting to underhanded tactics."

When Guangyi said this, his voice trembled and he gritted his teeth.

"Www"

Xu Lin smiled secretly without saying a word.

"Huh? What happened?"

Yiguo asked, bewildered.

"Fine, Ichigo, just remember to avoid spending too much time with Wakaba..."

Guangyi sighed deeply, looking at his silly daughter with nothing to say.

What happened?

What kind of tricks has Wakaba pulled this time? How did she manage to make Hikari so angry?

[No way, no way, Wakaba wouldn't really do something like this for a show, would she?]

[The person upstairs is brain-dead. Even the statistical software is from XP. What is Wakaba trying to do to get Koichi's attention?]

[You'll see if you check out Ruoye's updates, hahaha.]

So what did Xu Lin post just now?

It's very simple. She forwarded the announcement of this collaboration and casually asked for a vote.

Of course, if she were campaigning for herself, Koichi wouldn't be speaking in this tone, but Izanagi is campaigning for Koichi.

Yes, Xu Lin, in his own post, called on ESC fans to vote for Guang Yiguo.

This is so outrageous, I don't even know how to comment on it! Seriously, we're both victims of being instigated, but now that you're out of your misery, it's one thing not to help your old buddies, but to kick them while they're down and then cover the well with the lid is just wrong of you, okay?

If you and Kazuya get the sweetest CP pairing back, what will the fans of Hikaru and Hachiman think? What about Hikaru's fans?

Wait a minute, forget it, Guangyi should just hurry up and marry Guozi and stop ruining other people's lives, okay? You damn light novel male protagonist!

#What merit does Guangyi, the mid-laner, have?#

"Pfft www Um, Wakaba-nii, don't do that, don't do that. If this gets out, it won't have a good impact. It'll make it seem like our XP company can't win."

Xueyue also saw Xu Lin's post and couldn't help but laugh out loud, quickly trying to smooth things over.

"Sorry, Guangyi, I really can't win. I'll give this crown to you and Guozi, okay?"

Xu Lin said with a serious expression.

"A virtuous person wins people over with virtue; just as Heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so too should we strive unceasingly for self-improvement..."

So, Guang immediately campaigned for votes for the Wolf-Sheep group.

"puff!!!!"

Meili was dumbfounded.

"Wait, has the AV industry gotten this messed up? Even Kong Rong didn't share pears like this!"

Meili is very savvy. She directly teamed up with Wumi and used their phones to promote the product in all the fan groups and captain groups, and forwarded the posts to everyone they could to get votes!

Frost and snow moon. . .

"Cough cough cough! Don't do this, don't do this, it's unnecessary, really unnecessary!"

Shuangxue nearly choked on her saliva and coughed several times before she recovered.

"Pfft!!! Meow! You can't play like that!"

Xueyue, who was watching from the sidelines, spat a mouthful of water directly onto the computer screen. But who was she? She was Xueyue, the best member of ESC. It was just a matter of campaigning for votes, simple.

"Sorry, Guangyi-ge, I like you guys a little more!"

Then, the entire ESC community was mobilized to campaign for Koichika.

"What is common knowledge is that while we may not have much else in VR, we do have a lot of people."

"Yes, yes, yes! You want to outnumber us, huh? We're not afraid!"

Yes, there are a lot of people using VR. It's probably the largest VR community in China. So when Koichi, the senior member, spoke up, VR started to get going.

The person I'm campaigning for—Kouichi!

Hey~ It's an old VR tradition: when one is in trouble, everyone lends a hand. Besides, fanning the flames is part of Guangyiguo's corporate culture. Well, now, under VR Bro's leadership, the vast majority of VR members have collectively betrayed Guangyiguo and are frantically recruiting people. The chat is flooded with "hahahahaha" and "vote".

The VR community hasn't been this lively in a long time. With the three major VR boxes—ESC, PSP (after all, it's an ESC-affiliated company, encouraged by Xueyue), and VR—getting moving, people from all walks of life are giving it a thumbs up.

First, the "spectator army" led by Ice Candy Hammer Parry arrived at the battlefield, followed by the "barbecue groups" who were so bored they could only release their energy by dragging their members into women's clothing.

Finally, all sorts of oil enthusiasts started campaigning for their favorite pairings. Damn, this little collaboration turned into something like a large-scale variety show talent competition. To call it a V-circle fan circle is an exaggeration, because the V-circle, or rather the live streaming circle, is more or less a second fan circle.

Just think about the Star Show section from many years ago, and look at the streamers on Niconico back then. When things got chaotic, it was probably even more chaotic than the fandom.

Ahem, getting back to the main topic, after Koichi and Ichigo finished sharing their stories, Yuki and Shizuka were dragged up to take the blame again. There was no other way; there were too many voters, and the software couldn't count them all in a short time.

No one expected that Xu Lin's simple joke about Guang Yiguo and the other two would turn into a carnival for the entire AV community. Whether or not people supported the couple on stage was no longer important.

Whether you know them or not, or who you vote for, doesn't matter. What matters is participating in this highly anticipated carnival, feeling the thrill of unrestrained indulgence, watching the big red SCs float by, and seeing familiar IDs fanning the flames – that's the biggest fun tonight.

As for whether the eight people on stage are truly in love, and whether the stories they shared are true.

Most people don't care, and who does?

In this inherently ethereal online world, and in this even more virtual V-circle, 'authenticity' is a rare and precious quality, yet the internet's frenzy disregards authenticity the least.

A meticulously designed character, a painstakingly drawn image, is enough to attract a large audience. Authenticity can retain them, but it is by no means the key factor that attracts them.

Just like tonight's revelry.

After everyone leaves and the place is deserted, how many people will stay for the few livers on stage?

P.S.: Is it fake? Yes, it is, because Guangyiguo is no longer visible.

Chapter 21, Section 399: Why do you two always take care of everything in bed?

The live stream ended, and while the comment was brilliant, it didn't really concern the streamers.

The white-haired girl pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom. She saw her beloved doing the same thing, and they exchanged a gentle glance and smiled.

"It's late, time to go to sleep."

Xu Lin nodded, walked towards Xu Youyue, and said calmly.

Are you in a bad mood?
